Latex. Despite the excellent qualities of latex, it retains moisture and is difficult to dry.
The material is sensitive to high temperatures and sunlight.
It should also be borne in mind that natural latex flooring has a characteristic and very persistent odor. May wear off over the years. It is for this reason that it is rarely used in mattresses, especially in children's mattresses.
Synthetic latex is also sensitive to high temperatures and sunlight, but it is odorless and can have multiple zones of hardness, making it an indispensable and very expensive mattress mat for adults, but not for children.
