Are you looking to buy a natural latex mattress? It can be hard to choose among all the different brands out there. Fortunately, we’ve put together a roundup of the top models available on the market. You’ll see—the differences are sometimes subtle, though they’re all important! So, which natural latex mattress should you choose? Here’s a closer look at four brands (including Kipli 😉) that offer healthy and durable mattresses.
For those in a hurry, here is a summary table containing all the information we’ll cover in more detail later in this article.
Product Features
When choosing a latex mattress, you should, of course, consider its composition. When it comes to latex production, it’s important to knowthat the product can contain up to 97% rubber tree sap—the sap from the tree that produces latex. Added to this are non-toxic vulcanizing agents such as potassium and zinc, making up at least 3% of the total. The more rubber tree sap there is in the finished product, the higher the quality of the latex.
You should also consider the mattress cover when shopping for a mattress. It’s important to consider the breathability of the materials, especially if you tend to sweat at night. Additionally, to extend the life of your mattress, opt for a machine-washable cover.
Services
When you invest in a natural latex mattress, you expect impeccable service. So, it’s a good idea to check the length of the warranty or whether you can try out the mattress. Some of these factors can be just as important as the materials the mattress is made of!
Price
We are sometimes told that our mattresses are too expensive. However, as this table shows, we are the least expensive on the market when comparing equivalent products. This price difference is due in large part to the profit margins set by each brand.
At Kipli, our final markup on the mattress is 7%—the minimum we can charge to keep the business afloat. The rest of the price is determined by the cost of raw materials, compensation for those involved in the production chain, and the level of service (particularly delivery). This ultimately results in a fair price that cannot be reduced any further if we want to maintain the quality and ethical standards of our mattresses.
In addition, the number of intermediaries between the manufacturer and the consumer will also affect the price. In fact, Each intermediary will take a markup on the product. These markups add up, sometimes doubling the final price. That’s why we felt that selling directly was the simplest solution—for us and for you! No unnecessary middlemen—just the essentials—to ensure transparent pricing. ;)Also note: for a lower price, you get additional benefits at Kipli! Fast delivery to the room of your choice at no extra cost, custom-made options, a mattress with a removable and washable cover… For us , customer service is our top priority!
