Naturelle Latex Mattress Topper - Premium Natural Latex Mattress Pad

Hi Peter, Our latex pillows are approx 94%-95% pure latex and the balance is synthetic latex. The reason for the synthetic latex proportion of the product is to help give it stability (ie longer lastiing), keep the consistency the same (no hard or soft spots). They are a very comfortable product and always well received. 70kgs is about a medium consistency. It is not super soft and fluffy like the talalay latex production method (our is the dunlop method) which we find gives good comfort while maintaining excellent support. The latex is sourced from rubber plantations in Malaysia - harvesting has been done for over 40 years at these locations so no rainforest has been recently removed for production. The pure latex is transported to China where we have found the best and most efficient manufacturing technology is available. Latex production in Australia has been non existent in Australia for over 20 years due to the cost and previously our latex production was in NZ but the price of production was unsustainable. As far as sleeping hot it is a bit of a myth. We get asked the question a lot and generally just recommend layering down on your quilt or blankets if you think it may be an issue (which our feedback says it rarely is). Please call us on 03 8585 6685 and we can help with any further questions that you may have.

The difference between latex and memory foam is that latex is rubber derived naturally from the rubber tree (usually found in tropical or subtropical environments). The rubber is the sap in the tree. Once it is harvested the sap is barrelled in a liquid form and then foamed up and used to create latex. Memory foam is like all foam products derived from oil and then refined to a liquid form and then made into a memory foam. Both are lovely products but have a slightly different feel to them. Both products will eventually soften over time. Neither will harden. Please call if you have any further questions 03 8585 6685.

I think the best mattress topper is the Naturelle latex overlay but in reality they all have pros and of course different price points which also comes into play. The most important thing is that they will only work if your bed is still flat (ie has not dipped out in the middle) and toppers don't really serve to firm up a bed but will make a firm bed more comfortable. The body huggar is a great starting point. It will diffuse pressure and still provide great support. The memory overlays have a unique feel. Most people love it but given you do mould into it i would recommend seeing what a memory foam bed feels like before purchasing. The latex gives a great support and while you do not mould into it in the same way as memory foam it is very comfortable and provides excellent diffusing capabilities.

Natural latex mattress toppers are soft, and are wonderfully comfortable as well as excellent product longevity. Natural latex from the rubber tree is comprised of millions of interconnected cells, and this acts to mould and distribute body pressures. Latex is expensive to collect and produce, and that is why it is priced considerably higher. Our latex comes from the rubber trees of Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Our Naturelle latex topper also comes in its own quality zippered cover, which is another reason why it will cost you more. To put it in context, our latex toppers have a 'luxurious' feel to them and if your mattress is too hard or too soft, this topper will help to neutralise that problem.

A soft mattress can cause joint and back pain as the body sinks into the mattress making the spine adopt an unnatural position. An unforgiving hard mattress can also create pain as the body lies on top twisting the spine and putting pressure on the hips and shoulders. The mattress should give way a little under the pressure from the shoulders, hips, and pelvis so that the spine is kept in its natural state. The best solution therefore is a mattress that will contour to your shape, allowing your hips and shoulders to sink in comfortably. This combination can easily be obtained using a medium to firm mattress to support your body AND an overlay would be ideal.

The terms mattress topper, mattress overlay and mattress pad are often thought to mean the same thing. The terms mattress topper or mattress overlay refer to something that enhances the comfort level of the mattress by adding an extra soft layer, pad, or overlay on top of an existing, and possibly too hard mattress. The term mattress pad can refer to both a mattress topper, and to a thinner pad made out of cotton or polyester which is put on top of a mattress to protect it. These mattress pads are also known as mattress protectors.

I would recommend a latex overlay or the body huggar overlay. Both have good support and a bit of 'give' in them and are used for many requirements including bursitis of the hips. Though the memory foam topper is a fantastic product i find the memory foam sometimes does not give quite as much comfort for those seeking to address a specific need such as Bursitis on the hips as it will mould to the body and squash down more than the other two products. Please call for further assistance.

Please call us on 03 8585 6685 if you have any queries or questions. Warm regards, Brett.

Basically Syntheitic latex is a synthetic blend that is used to mix with the latex to get a slightly different feel. It can be up to 50% of the product from some suppliers. We have a 6% synthetic latex blend which we find gives the product a better and more consistent feel throughout.

Hi Matthew, The latex topper is very good but if you are finding your existing latex too firm then adding another layer of latex might not be the best solution. Our latex overlays are a medium denisity and we rarely have any issue with them being to firm. Still i would feel most comfortable having a chat first and making sure that it fits your needs. Can you please give me a call to discuss at a time that is convenient for you. 03 8585 6685. Warm regards Brett Parnham

Thanks for your enquiry about the latex topper. I really can't comment on the specifics of other products on the market but normally the cheaper the latex topper the more likely it is to have less pure latex and more filling agent (synthetic latex, clay or other material). Our latex overlays and pillows contain approximately 94-5% pure latex and the balance being synthetic latex which gives the overlay a consistent feel (stops lumpiness), gives product a better life span and a more comfortable feel.

Hi Kristy, Yes we can make this for you and it will be the same price as the queen latex overlay (which we will cut down to size). You are also welcome to the off cut piece if you would like. Please call us on 03 8585 6685 if you would like to take up this offer. Warm regards, Brett.

Hi Alice, I received enquiries like your everyday about how to make a bed softer. The good news is it is much easier to soften a bed than it is to make one firmer. All of our overlays will help to accomodate you with this and the latex overlay is probably the best. Please call us on 03 8585 6685 and we can have a chat about where you can view the overlay range. Warm regards Brett Parnham.

Main difference is that latex foam is quite springy and supportive while the memory foam will mould around the shape of your body and envelope you in feel. Both very good but different feels.

People do use the naturelle overlay on its own for short term situations ie spare bed on carpet or for camping, caravaning etc but i would say you should use some sort of mattress in conjunction with the topper when using over the longer term. Please call if we can be of further assistance. (03) 8585 6685.

The cover is 70% cotton and 30% polyester. It is fully removeable and very comfortable. Machine washable too. Please call if we can be of further assistance.

Unfortunately if the mattress has sagged i don't think the overlay will be able to save your mattress. You will need to get something that is new and flat. You do not have to spend a lot but get a medium or firm bed (do not get the pillow top). You can then use any overly over the top to soften to your requirements. Please call if we can be of further assistance. 03 8585 6685. Warm regards, Brett Parnham.

i would describe our topper as medium in feel and might not suit you if you require something really firm. It is designed to give a premium latex feel to beds that dont meet the expectation of the owner. The product is always very well received and if you would like a location close to you that stocks the product please contact us on 03 8585 6685 Warm regards, Brett Parnham (03) 8585 6685

The cover of the latex pillows and mattress are removeable 70% cotton / 30% polyester covers.

Hi Nadia, Our overlay is made using the Dunlop process. We find this to be a better all round feel and support. The Tallaly feels wonderful and light but we feel is a little too soft and prefer the dunlop style of production. Our overlays are always very well received and most of the staff here choose the latex over the memory foam overlay from a comfort perspective. Please feel free to give us a call on 03 8585 6685 and we can discuss further should you have any more questions. Warm regards, Brett Parnham. 03 8585 6685.

Hi Sue, We have a five year warranty on the latex topper. To be honest if treated right (use a protector and flip over from time to time) then the product should last a lot longer. It is always very well received by our custom and most of the staff do sleep on the latex as their choice of overlay. The cover is a removeable and washable zippered cover. It is 70% cotton and 30% polyester. The product is certified Oeko-Tex which is the leading certification for latex products worldwide. Hope all this information is helpful and if you require more information please contact us on 03 8585 6685. Warm regards, Brett Parnham.

Yes you can use an electric blanket with the latex mattress overlay. As with use of all overlays just have on a low setting and always best to be in the room when blankets are in use.

Hi Christie, Please find weights for all the products attached. King Single Size : 200 x 107 x 5cm weight - 10.6 kg Single Size : 188 x 90 x 5cm weight - 7.4 kg Double Size : 188 x 135 x 5cm weight - 10.6 kg Queen Size : 200 x 150 x 5cm weight - 13kg King Size : 200 x 180 x 5cm weight - 17.4kg

Hi Li, That is actually a difficult one to fix. The latex or the body hugger overlays may help but if the mattress is dipped out then you might have to replace the mattress. The memory foam definitely will not help with firming up a mattress. Please give us a call on 03 8585 6685 and will see if we can be of more assistance. Warm regards, Brett.

Hi Jeong, The naturelle latex will be a better option on the floor as it does come with a cover and will not squash down as much as the memory foam overlay. Many (including myself) use the naturelle overlays as a mattress for camping, in caravans, vans or on other hardish surfaces. On a carpet it should be fine i would have thought. Best Regards, Brett.

The answer depends on the condition of your current bed. If your current mattress is basically ok - supportive, no dips, etc - but just too firm, causing pressure points, or just not as luxurious as you would like, than a mattress topper or mattress overlay will make it more comfortable. But if your mattress is old with compressed areas, or is just uncomfortable, then you probably need a new mattress. (Although an overlay could help you put the purchase off for a while). If you decide to buy a new mattress, then stay away from the pillow top styles. Buy a basic medium-range mattress and then add your own Mattress Topper or Mattress overlay as a pillow top. Then after a number of years, you can replace the overlay rather than having to get a new mattress. You will save a fortune by not paying too much initially for an expensive mattress, and you'll sleep a lot better!

HI John, The latex overlay is 5cm in thickness which is enough to give a great support and feel but not too thick so as to keep the price affordable. With regards to the feel it will be a medium feel. it will definitely help to soften up a firm mattress but is not to soft so as to give the feeling of sinking into the overlay which would not give correct support and may exacerbate back related problems. Warm regards, Brett.

Hi Rowena, We have a number of locations in Melbourne where latex toppers can be viewed. Relaxhouse at 234 Centre Dandenong Rd has everything on display and you can pick up at the time if you so choose. Warm regards, Brett Parnham. 03 8585 6685.

Yes it is fine to use an electric blanket so long as you keep it on a reasonable heat. Too hot and it may cause damage to teh rubber for best for a lower heat. Warm regards, Brett.

Hi, Thank you for your enquiry. It is most certainly safe to use an electric blanket with our latex toppers. Warm Regards, Cristina

Yes, our latex topper is 5 cms thick and a lovely luxe density. It is not super firm, more a pleasant weight and comfort. Kind regards, Anmaree

Hello, Put simply the latex is made of rubber from the rubber tree. it is very comfortable and very supportive and has a little bit of spring to it. The memory foam is produced from polyol oil and has a very soft feel to it whereby it moulds around the shpae of your body. They are both quite different feels. Happy to chat on 03 8585 6685 if you have some further questions. Warm regards, Brett. 03 8585 6685

Hi Valerie, There is no trial period due to health regulations. They are extremely popular, perhaps read the reviews and FAQs. Welcome to call us . Kind regards, Anmaree 03 8585 6685

Hi Valerie, Our latex is sourced from Malaysia. Kind regards, Anmaree, 03 8585 6685

Product can be sent same day on most occasions. Warm regards, Brett Parnham 03 8585 6685

Both should be great for your requirements but out of the two I think you would find the body hugger to be very suitable to your requirements. The latex might be a tad warm for you because it is a denser material and the egg shell is probably a dash softer also. HAppy to chat on 03 8585 6685 if you have further questions we can help with. Warm Regards, Brett.

Yes you can use electric blanket but always use the blanket on a low heat and always be in the room when blanket is on which should be the case for whenever an electric blanket is being used. Warm regards, Brett (03) 8585 6685

Sorry for any confusion and please give me a call if i can be of further assistance. Warm regards, Brett. 03 8585 6685.

Hi Sarah, We don't have a specific warranty but expectation is the latex overlay should comofortably last 5+ years while maintainging good support and comfort. Over a longer period of time it will gradually soften. Biggest cause of degradation tends to be excessive sweatng or exposure to moisture so we tend to recommend a mattress protector be used with all of our overlays. Happy to help with any other questions and all our products are available through NDIS and if you are after bulk purchases for your facilties please register here for wholesale pricing. https://www.the-pillow.com.au/hp/user/registration Warm regards, Brett. 03 8585 6685 Warm regards, Brett.

Hi there, Thank you for your email. This is not a waterproof topper. I'm sure you could find a waterproof cover to go over this however but we don't stock them I'm sorry. Should you need any help please feel free to give us a call. Regards Ally

Our foam toppers will make a firm mattress feel softer. You will sink into memory foam so avoid the memory foam if you sleep warm to hot. The latex topper is our most "plush", you will lie on it not in it.Please feel free to call us if you have further questions. Kind regards, Anmaree 03 8585 6685

Hi Lynette, I would probably steer clear of the latex overlay if you sleep hot. Please give us a call and i can run you through what may or may not work for you depending on your needs. Warm regards, Brett Parnham 03 8585 6685

I would definitely suggest the latex overlay. It will stop any feeling going through the product better than the memory foam and also be very comfortable for her. Warm regards, Brett. 03 8585 6685

Hello, The Latex topper is not firm, it is a comfortable "cushiony" feel. Please call us if you have any further questions. Kind regards, Anmaree 03 8585 6685

Hi Sergey, Our King size topper is 200 x 180 cms and is $495.00 Kind regards, Anmaree

Hi Maria, Our latex toppers are 93% natural latex and 7% synthetic latex. The small percentage of synthetic latex keeps the consistency even in the topper. Kind Regards, Cristina

Hi Alex, If it is just the surface softness that is an issue then the latex might be a good help but if the whole mattress is sagging then it can be difficult to fix as whatever you put on top will just sag down into it. I think perhaps if that is the case then the body huggar will be the most effectual option as it is a higher density foam. Warm regards, BRett. 03 8585 6685

It is hard to know to be honest. Are you able to give us a call on 03 8585 6685 and we can have a chat about what your mattress is currently like - ie hard or soft and also how you are sleeping and where you feel the pain fo the tumor most? Then we can gage if any of our products are going to be suitable. Warm regards, Brett 03 8585 6685

Hello, the cover is 70% cotton and 30% polyester. Kind regards, Anmaree 03 8585 6685

I think the latex is the best. It is comfortable yet supportive and should be perfectly fine for you and sleeping on your back. The memory foam is also good but can feel quite firm when the temperature is cooler. Happy to discuss further with you at any time. Warm regards, Brett 03 8585 6685

Hi Carole, The mattress topper is 5 cms high and the pillow layer is 2 cms high.Regards Anmaree
