Latex and Memory foam are growing in popularity and are being used jointly or separately in the construction of mattresses to provide special characteristics.
Most latex originates from the Hevea rubber tree. Once the latex is poured into special moulds, it is subjected to many manufacturing processes including gelling, freezing and vulcanising. These processes offer many advantages, of which the "open cell structure" is the most important.
This open cell structure provides better ventilation (providing a coolness in summer and warmth in winter) within the Latex core, and it also provides higher elasticity.
Clerys latex mattresses tend to be a layer of latex over a traditional upholstered mattress in order to improve both comfort level and hypoagllergenic qualities. Popular latex / combo mattresses available from Clerys include the Myers and Sumberland ranges.
Visco elastic memory foam was originally invented for NASA to relieve the pressure of the tremendous G-forces exerted on pilots during lift-off and flight.
A revolutionary filling material, it moulds and contours to the shape of the body and returns to the original shape.
This eliminates the build-up of pressure on sensitive areas of the body and provides complete posture support and comfort while you sleep.
Visco-elastic is anti-bacterial and anti-static so it’s suitable for those suffering from asthma, rhinitis, and other dust based allergies.
Clerys have a number of ranges of visco elastic combination beds from Kaymed, Silentnight, Slumberland, Sealy and Myers.
