Latex and Memory Foam

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.

3 Reasons Why You Should Choose Latex in a Mattress:

  1. Hypoallergenic. Unlike other foams, latex bends easily, neither tearing nor breaking. Latex is very hygienic, being mildew and dust mite resistant, and so is suitable for allergy or asthma sufferers.
  2. Durable. After 10 years of intensive use, you can expect little loss of height and hardness.
  3. Good for the back. When you sleep on a latex mattress, your shoulders and pelvis will sink more deeply into its surface, which provides good support for the spine. Latex offers the highest degree of flexibility for the pressure points of the body.

Why You Should Choose Visco Elastic in a Mattress:

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.

  • Improves blood circulation
  • Low allergy potential
  • Dustmite resistant
  • Fits perfectly around your body
  • Mattress has no springs to wear (if solid block chosen)
  • Breathes naturally
  • Anti static fabric
  • Recyclable
  • Durable
  • Mattress may be used on any base
  • Can bend mattress to get into a difficult location (only if solid block is chosen)

Clerys have a number of ranges of visco elastic combination beds from Kaymed, Silentnight, Slumberland, Sealy and Myers.
