latex mattresses
Can you please tell me if the latex in mattresses is likely to cause an allergic reaction?
I can't give you a
I can't give you a definitive answer on this one, but I can suggest that if you have a mild allergy, you will probably be OK if you don't have direct contact with the mattress. On the other hand, the mattress is likely to release latex dust over time, which could be a problem.
If you already have a latex mattress, I suggest you get allergy proof bedding to contain any latex dust. This also helps with dust and mite control - a common allergen.
