Question from Leslie
Hi, the Sealy website says that the latex layers in their innerspring mattresses are petroleum-based latex — not the natural. They claim that it’s the natural latex that people with latex allergies react to.
Debra – is this true? I’ve got a severe latex allergy (can’t walk through a mattress store if they’ve got the natural latex mattresses on display (don’t know about the petroleum based).
I understand and agree with all the significant issues in a toxic mattress, and the issues with petroleum-based items, but right now, I’m just looking to resolve the latex allergy problem
Many thanks.
Debra’s Answer
My understanding is that latex allergy is to natural latex.
