All-Natural Latex Bedding Outsells Foam

According FoamSource, a large supplier of natural bedding, there has been explosive growth on a national scale in the latex foam mattress industry for 2004 and 2005. The company states that natural latex foam bedding products are outselling memory foam by 2-1 and the trend is continuing to grow. Individuals interested in the principles of "green living" are partly responsible for the increased demand for natural latex bedding. FoamSource has reported a very positive response from media that caters to a natural lifestyle. However, the majority of the demand comes from individuals who have suffered from dust and mold allergies in their sleep. Latex is one of the top choices for natural bedding, the others are cotton and hemp futons. :: FoamSource [by Justin Thomas]
