Latex foam is a type of cushioning material made from natural or synthetic latex. It is known for its durability, resilience, and ability to conform to the shape of the body, providing support and comfort. This foam is commonly used in mattresses, pillows, and cushions, making it a popular choice for those seeking a good night's sleep. The production of latex foam involves a process called foaming, where air is incorporated into the latex to create a light and airy structure. Natural latex is derived from the sap of rubber trees, while synthetic latex is made from petrochemicals. Both types offer unique benefits, including hypoallergenic properties and resistance to dust mites.
