Given the number of factors to consider, choosing a mattress can be difficult. There are many parameters and elements to consider when choosing a mattress: you have to navigate between firmness, density, breathability, thickness, number of support zones, but also price and padding. However, one material allows you to reconcile as many of these parameters as possible, and adapts best to each individual: natural latex. This material is increasingly appreciated by professionals in the bedding industry, because natural latex mattresses provide firm support and a soft welcome, are naturally antibacterial, anti-mite and hypoallergenic without needing to be chemically treated. They also have other advantages.
The benefits of natural latex
Natural latex is particularly appreciated in high-end mattresses. It has many advantages: antibacterial, anti-mite, thermoregulated, durable... Alba mattresses has therefore decided to use this material in its mattresses, to guarantee the best quality to its customers. But what exactly are Alba mattresses made of?The construction of mattresses
The natural latex used in Alba mattresses comes from the sap of the rubber tree. The rubber tree is a shrub, cultivated in tropical countries. Alba is committed to respecting the Guatemalan producers who supply it with the sap.Since rubber tree sap is liquid in its natural state, it is necessary to add materials to make it more solid, while remaining soft.
And legally?
Legally, mattresses containing only 85% natural sap are allowed to be called "100% natural" mattresses. At alba, the slider has been pushed to the maximum so as not to mislead you. Since rubber tree sap is liquid in its natural state, it is impossible to manufacture a mattress composed solely of it. The maximum proportion of rubber tree sap for a mattress is 98%: this is what Maison alba has decided to offer its customers.Alba mattresses and their benefits

Both products have 7 comfort zones located at strategic points on the body, allowing the spine to remain straight and thus avoid back problems.The cover, removable and machine washable, is made of OEKO-TEX certified tencel.
