When it comes to finding your dream mattress, there are a few factors that matter most: comfort, durability, and climate control (staying cool all night long). What you may not know, however, is just how incredible latex foam mattresses are and how they’re an ideal fit for the whole family!
Latex’s gentle bounce, breathable structure and natural longevity make it the perfect fit for mattresses. Best of all, latex foam is hypoallergenic and eco-conscious for those concerned with reducing their eco-footprint. Whether you’re shopping for your child’s first “big kid” bed or looking for a more breathable sleep surface for yourself, latex foam is a smart choice that doesn’t skimp on comfort or quality.

What Makes Latex Foam Different?
If you’ve never slept on latex before, here’s what you’re missing out on: it’s springy, responsive, and supportive. Where memory foam makes you sink into the mattress and encases you, often leaving you feeling hot and sticky, the light bounce back offered by latex foam contours to your body without feeling stiff or sticky. That means you can shift your position without feeling stuck to the bed! Latex is incredibly breathable, making it stand out from other foam mattresses that are overly dense and trap heat. Latex allows for steady airflow, meaning you’ll stay nice and cool all night long, which is great during Canada's hot summers and for those who sleep hotter all year round. Latex is also naturally dust mite-resistant, mold-resistant, and low in allergens, which makes it a great fit for kids, allergy sufferers, and anyone who wants a cleaner, healthier sleep space.
A Popular Choice for Kids’ Beds
It’s not just the health aspects that make latex great for kids. They’re comfortable and durable enough to stand up to our little ones, and help them stay cool even when bundled up in cozy pyjamas and extra blankets. Whether your kid is a calm sleeper or likes to jump on the bed and play, latex will give them the support they need without sagging or flattening over time.
Better for the Environment (and Your Bedroom)
More Canadians than ever are interested in making their homes as sustainable as possible.
As we mentioned, latex foam offers a greener alternative to traditional synthetic mattresses. Natural latex is made from the sap of rubber trees, meaning it’s renewable and biodegradable. Latex’s natural resistance to bacteria and mold also makes it lower-maintenance than most other materials, giving it a better lifecycle that saves your health and your wallet!
