Natural latex pillows and mattresses in Phuket

Many tourists coming to Thailand, and in particular to Phuket, decide to buy pillows and mattresses made of natural Thai latex. After all, it is here, in Thailand, that you can see entire groves of rubber trees, the scientific name of which is hevea or Hevea (Latin Hevea) from the juice of which latex is produced.

Latex products have a number of advantages over other materials.

First, these products last much longer than feathers and down. Latex is distinguished by its antibacterial and orthopedic properties. Many allergy sufferers will sleep more comfortably, and your neck and back will no longer be sore in the morning. Thanks to special holes in latex pillows and mattresses, air circulation is maintained. On the latex mattress, you can turn around without worrying about disturbing the sleeper next to you. In addition, latex is an environmentally friendly product and does not have toxicity.

Latex pillows and mattresses.

Currently, latex pillows and mattresses are at the peak of popularity. Increasingly, customers prefer ordinary feather bedding, namely latex. Why is this happening? Are latex pillows and mattresses really much better than feather pillows? And what determines such a different price for them?

Natural latex.

In Thailand, there is a tree called Brazilian hevea, or rubber. In order to collect the well-known latex, you constantly need to make incisions on the tree, which are very quickly overgrown. Pillows and mattresses made of natural latex are not easily very expensive, because the process of obtaining it is quite complex. This natural material for Thailand is a real treasure, because it is from it that a large number of various useful and expensive goods are produced.

Manufacturing method.

From the beginning of the process of obtaining latex in its usual form, to the manufacture of a pillow or mattress, the material goes through a huge number of different processes. To begin with, the sap is collected from a rubber tree, which is then foamed into molds of various types and sizes and left to solidify in specialized factories. Such factories usually grow their own plantations of Brazilian hevea. When the process of making latex is completed, the products are covered with fabric. Then, the products are sent for sale to stores.

Why are natural latex products so popular?

Natural latex bedding is not without its drawbacks:

• From one rubber tree per day, you can get about 350 grams of latex juice, which affects the price of pillows and mattresses made of this material.;
• Natural latex does not tolerate cold and heat. High temperature will lead to its deformation, however, as well as severe cold.

However, just a few not particularly important disadvantages are not able to cover a huge number of advantages of latex mattresses and pillows:

• Latex is a very strong and durable material. Latex products can be used for about ten years. If you provide your latex mattresses and pillows with proper care, then you will not have to change them at all for thirty years!
• To achieve an orthopedic effect, everyone can choose the perfect latex mattress and pillow for themselves, both in size and softness;
• Latex is able to evenly distribute the load of the body on the mattress. Thanks to this, you will be able to relax and get a good night’s sleep;
• Latex mattresses and pillows improve blood circulation, relieve stress on the spine and relax all muscle groups;
• Latex mattresses are completely silent;
• Hundreds of thousands of small bubbles are located inside the latex, which helps your mattress and pillows to «breathe» in the truest sense of the word. This is the reason why sleeping on latex bedding is not cold in winter and not hot in summer;
• No dust accumulates in the latex mattress;
• Latex is a kind of antiseptic, so it is recommended for allergy sufferers, and the possibility of forming insects in it is generally close to zero;
• Excellent shape-preserving ability. Even if you sleep on a pillow or mattress made of this material for several years in a row, they do not form pits. Latex bedding will retain its shape until the end of use.

Almost all popular and expensive items are forged by unscrupulous companies. Latex products are no exception. Often, even in the homeland of rubber trees, in Thailand, unsuspecting tourists are offered not natural mattresses and pillows made of latex at inflated prices. This can create a wrong opinion about latex products among customers. In order not to fall for the bait of scammers, try to buy latex products only from well-known companies, or ask for documents that confirm the mandatory certification of latex bedding, and give full right to their production.
