Some people have an allergy to latex. How do I know your latex is safe for me?

Contact allergies to the chemicals in synthetic latex blends, such as those in latex gloves, are not uncommon. These cause localized skin reactions. Allergies to natural latex, such as that in Savvy Rest mattresses, are less common; when they do occur they are almost always caused by direct contact with the latex itself. Systemic reactions to natural latex are quite rare (less than 1 percent of the U.S. population) but they are possible. Despite what you may read elsewhere, if a person is allergic, they can react to either Talalay or Dunlop latex.

A very small group of people has an aversion to the soft natural scent of latex rubber. This response is very uncommon, but it does happen.

Our latex is a very pure, natural product, as all our products are; but no one can guarantee that a product will be non-allergenic for everyone. The information we provide is not intended to substitute for medical advice. Please consult your doctor or allergist to be sure latex is right for you. We do not accept returns on mattresses due to latex allergies.

If you are chemically sensitive or think you may have a latex allergy, please consult your allergist to confirm whether or not you are allergic to latex before buying a Savvy Rest--or any natural latex product.
