Organic Latex Mattress Topper

Frequently-Asked Questions About Organic Latex Mattress Toppers

• What is the topper made of, including latex type (Talalay or Dunlop), thickness, and density?

  The PlushBeds Organic Latex Mattress Topper is crafted from 100% natural GOLS-certified Dunlop organic latex. You can select from 2-inch or 3-inch thickness options, and four firmness levels — Soft, Medium, Medium-Firm, or Extra-Firm — to customize your comfort and support. Nowadays, Dunlop latex can be made to feel as soft and cloudlike as Talalay latex.

• What organic and safety certifications does the topper hold (GOLS, GOTS, OEKO-TEX, etc.)?

  Every component of this topper meets the highest international organic and safety standards.

  It is:

  GOLS Certified Organic Latex (Global Organic Latex Standard)

  GOTS Certified Organic Cotton (for the optional cover)

  OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class 1 Certified, ensuring the materials are free from harmful substances.
  You can rest confidently knowing your topper is non-toxic, eco-friendly, and made from responsibly sourced, sustainable materials.

• Will the topper fit all mattress sizes and how does it stay in place (skirt, straps, non-slip)?

  Yes. The topper is available in all standard U.S. mattress sizes, from Twin through Split King. If you select the optional organic cotton cover, it is designed with a snug fit and non-slip underside to help keep the topper securely in place atop your mattress. (The latex itself is naturally weighty and resistant to shifting once the bed is made.)

• Is the topper breathable and does it help with cooling or temperature regulation?

  Absolutely. Natural latex is open-cell and aerated, allowing continuous airflow and breathability throughout the night. This helps disperse body heat and moisture far better than memory foam. The organic cotton cover adds another layer of cool, natural comfort — wicking away heat and humidity for a fresh, temperature-neutral sleep.

• How much comfort, lift, or pressure relief can I expect from adding this topper?

  Expect a noticeable improvement in pressure relief, buoyant lift, and spinal alignment. The natural latex gently contours to your curves without the “sink-in” feel of memory foam, reducing pressure points in the shoulders, hips, and back. This topper can transform a too-firm or aging mattress into a plusher, rejuvenating sleep surface.

• How do I care for and clean the latex topper, and is the cover removable and machine washable?

  The latex core should not be machine washed or exposed to direct sunlight, as natural latex is sensitive to UV light.

  If you choose the organic cotton cover, it can be removed and spot cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the organic fibers and zipper.

• What are the sleep trial, return, and warranty terms for the topper?

  Because each topper is custom-made to order, it is non-returnable once opened. However, it is backed by a 5-Year Limited Warranty covering manufacturing defects and material quality. PlushBeds stands behind every handcrafted product with meticulous quality assurance and U.S.-based support.

• What is the difference between Talalay and Dunlop latex and which is better for durability and contouring?

  Both are natural latex, but they differ in feel and performance:

  Talalay Latex: More plush and buoyant, with a lighter, airy feel — ideal for pressure relief and contouring.

  Dunlop Latex: Denser and firmer, offering more support and slightly greater durability. Both are exceptionally resilient and long-lasting. The “better” choice depends on your comfort preference — plush responsiveness (Talalay) versus supportive stability (Dunlop).

• Is the latex topper compatible with adjustable bases and will using it affect my mattress warranty?

  Yes, the latex topper is fully compatible with adjustable bed bases. Its natural elasticity allows it to flex and move smoothly with the base. Using this topper will not void your mattress warranty, as it is designed for safe use on any supportive mattress surface.

• What makes a latex mattress topper the healthiest option?

  Latex is naturally antimicrobial, hypoallergenic, and dust mite resistant, making it one of the healthiest sleep materials available. It’s also free from VOCs, formaldehyde, flame retardants, and petrochemicals commonly found in synthetic foams. For those with allergies or chemical sensitivities, natural latex provides a safe, breathable, and toxin-free sleeping environment.

• What thickness and firmness options are best for side, back, or stomach sleepers?

  Side Sleepers: 3" Soft or Medium — for deep pressure relief at shoulders and hips.

  Back Sleepers: 2" or 3" Medium — for balanced contour and lumbar support.

  Stomach Sleepers: 2" Medium-Firm or Extra-Firm — for proper spinal alignment without sagging.

  Your personal preference and current mattress firmness also play a role in choosing the perfect feel.

• Are latex toppers better than memory foam?

  Yes — in several key ways. Natural latex toppers sleep cooler, last longer, and offer more responsive support than memory foam. Unlike foam, latex won’t trap heat or sag over time. It also contains no synthetic chemicals or off-gassing odors. If you prefer a buoyant, supportive, and eco-friendly sleep surface, latex is the superior choice.

• How long will a latex topper last?

  With proper care, a natural latex topper can last 10 to 20 years — significantly longer than typical foam or fiber toppers. Latex’s inherent resilience and durability mean it will maintain its shape, support, and comfort for many years of healthy sleep.
