How to choose a Latex Mattress
Step 1 – Select your mattress size:
| Size | Dimensions |
| Single | 1880 x 915 |
| King single | 2030 x 1070 |
| Double | 1880 x 1370 |
| Queen | 2030 x 1520 |
| King | 2030 x 1830 |
| Custom made | Made to your measurements |
Step 2 – Select the depth of your mattress
200mm (20cm) is the standard mattress depth. However, if depth available is limited, such as on boats or camper trailers, we offer a 150mm depth mattress. We also offer a 250mm depth mattress, which offers extra softness.
Step 3 – Select your mattress density:
| Hardness | Density (kg per cubic metre) | Uses |
| Soft | 60 | Mattress overlays |
| Medium | 65 | Mattresses, lounge seating, overlays |
| Firm | 70 | Mattresses, lounge seating, wheel chair cushions |
| DX Firm | 80 | Mattresses, lounge seating, wheel chair cushions |
What density should I choose?
This depends on your weight and preferred comfort. People with a high body weight will need a rather firm mattress. Lighter people, including children and older people, will choose a somewhat softer mattress. A softer Natural Latex mattress will offer the same support as a firm mattress, when correctly matched to bodyweight. Soft density is recommended to be used as a mattress overlay, not in an entire mattress, due to lack of support.
| Weight | Density recommended |
| Up to 90kgs | Medium |
| 90kgs to 130kgs | Firm |
| Above 130kgs | DX Firm |
I like soft, and my partner prefers firm. Which density shall we select?
Generally, you will want to give the larger person the support they need, without compromising comfort for the smaller person. A 200mm firm density mattress with a 50mm soft top will offer the right support for a larger person, and the right degree of comfort for a smaller person.

Tencel is extracted from eucalypt wood pulp and is 100% bio-degradable. The wood comes from sustainable tree farms, which utilise marginal land without too much water use. It is 50% more absorbent than cotton fabric Because of its increased absorbency Tencel does not provide an environment suitable for bacterial growth. Synthetic fibres can harbour 2000 times the bacteria found in Tencel. Tencel is 100% chemical and toxin free, resulting in an irritation-free fabric. It is suitable for sensitive skin – Tencel fibres are smooth which significantly reduces skin irritation. Tencel breathes naturally, balancing body temperature and keeping you cooler in summer.
