Latex Mattress Toppers

Latex foam is a high-elasticity material that is typically made from a blend of 60-70% synthetic (styrene-butadiene) latex and 30-40% natural (rubber-free) latex.

• Natural latex (rubber tree milk)
• Synthetic latex (styrene-butadiene)
• Latex foam is produced using the Talalay, Dunlop, and Continuous Pour methods. When made to a high standard, Talalay latex is superior in every measurable way
• TMASC offers Vita Talalay latex, considered the finest latex on the planet
• If you want an organic material, our t•masc mattresses feature 100% GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex
• High-quality latex foam is the most expensive type of foam found in mattresses, but it is also the most durable and supportive
• Latex foam is the most elastic foam. The Elastic Bed Principle explains why elasticity is the most important factor in choosing a great mattress

There are three situations where adding a mattress topper is a great idea.

1. Your existing mattress is in good condition, with no dips or sags, but it is currently too firm for you.
2. Your new mattress is designed to last 10 years or more. A topper will help to preserve the outer materials of a new mattress and will also keep your mattress more hygienic.
3. You've chosen the softest possible mattress, and you need something even softer. You'll want to opt for the St. Genève Heirloom Goose Down Mattress Topper or one of the Harrison Spinks luxury enhancers in this situation.

A mattress topper generally cannot make a mattress firmer. There are some limited examples where a mattress topper might create more surface tension. In these limited circumstances, this increased surface tension will provide the sensation of increased firmness.

This is a rare outcome, and we highly recommend talking to a team member before proceeding with any topper with the expectation of this result.

A mattress topper cannot fix a worn-out and sagging mattress. Generally speaking, a topper will accentuate the sagging of a mattress when placed on it, making the sagging even more noticeable.

It is essential to note that "natural" and "organic" have distinct meanings. These differences are mostly down to marketing tactics. Organic certificates are not safety certificates. It is appropriate to view all organic certificates within the scope of marketing, not health or safety.

If organic certification is important to you, please view our organic mattress collection. t•masc mattresses are made in Canada, and all materials are entirely third-party certified organic.

The Truth About Chemicals in Mattresses

The Mattress & Sleep Company recommends reading our guide on the truth about chemicals in mattresses. This in-depth article discusses several critically important topics and helps distinguish between fear-mongering, marketing, and genuine facts.

Remember, everything is a chemical. Water is a chemical (H2O). There is no such thing as a chemical-free mattress, just as there is no such thing as a chemical-free anything.
