This website gives you tips on finding the best deals on latex mattress pads.

Latex mattress pads are also often called latex mattress toppers, they are many times used interchangeably. What they both do is add comfort and protection to your mattress by covering them with the padding. However there is a slight difference between the two. While the topper refers to an additional piece that enhances the mattress level of comfort by having an extra softer layer on top, mattress pads are also a thinner kind of pads, made of cotton most of the times. These pads basically have the job of protecting the mattress for getting dirty. To add to the confusion, they are also sometimes called mattress protectors. Mattress pads can be used directly on top of the mattress, or as an additional comfort option above the mattress topper.

Some of the main characteristics and benefits of the latex mattress pads are that they offer additional pressure point relief to your hips and your shoulders. They are hypoallergenic and come in sizes of 3" or 5" thick for extra cusioning. The pillowtop pad is sitting perfectly on top of the mattress, which allows it to soften that typical very firm bedding feel.

Usually in latex mattress pads have the following main characteristics:

• Organic cotton cover
• Usually handmade (the best quality at least)
• Available in the typical standard sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, CA King
• Can be made custom to any size or depth
• A nice mix of latex and wool for the proper luxurious feel
• Approximately 2" -3" deep

The quilted cotton top usually is matching the top of the mattress, making the pad seem part of the whole outfit. There are elastic straps that keep the mattress topper in one place, allowing the pad to be easily removed. This way the latex mattress pad adds an additional level of comfort to your bed.

Compare to traditional mattress pads, the latex type do not contain the following harmful elements: bonding agents (like chemical sprays or polyester), formaldehyde, phenols, pthalates, toluene, benzene, silica that contains dimethyl sulfate, artificial vanilin that contains petroleum, pesticides, boric acid, chemical flame retardants, polyethylene and polyurethane.

Having all these advantages in mind, they efficiently protect you from allergens, bacteria and dust mites while at the same time protecting your mattress  from various liquids and stains it might otherwise get.
