This is not the most available material in the market. Not to mention, it’s not the most affordable. These mattresses possess a high score for breathability and responsiveness, which sounds dreamy in bed. But as mentioned above, it’s not the most budget-friendly. So we made it a point to include mattresses that can suffice everyone’s needs and fancy for a latex mattress bed.
How we picked these Latex Mattresses
Here is how we curated this list of heavenly latex mattresses.
1. Organic vs natural vs synthetic blend
Our list consists of a healthy blend of organic and synthetic materials. Mattresses with organic materials are best for eco-conscious folks. But this can run a bit high in terms of cost. However, we also included a handful or two of affordable organic latex mattresses.
Synthetic blend latex mattresses, on the other hand, make use of materials intended to minimize motion transfer. Latex is notorious for being highly bouncy and can transfer movement fast. But we are careful to choose synthetic blend material that doesn’t have an off-putting odor and does not have toxic chemicals in it.
2. Pure vs hybrid
Likewise, we also placed a combination of pure latex and hybrid latex mattresses ( with coils and foam). Hybrid mattresses can keep the cost down but you still get to experience what bounce latex is known for. It is actually more bouncy but less noisy than pure latex. But of course, we also kept in mind that there are also folks who are still in love with pure latex. They are king when it comes to spinal alignment.
3. Bounce vs motion transfer
We chose mattresses that are not only bouncy and responsive but are not a pain if you are sharing the bed with another human being. We only chose latex mattresses that have minimal to no motion transfer at all. So you will not see a very noisy mattress here.

Eco Terra
This hybrid mattress comprises 3-inch Talalay latex. And underneath you will find a system of individually wrapped coils. This makes the bed quite bouncy with impressive pressure relief. This is a fun bed for couples since it can be quite bouncy and responsive to movement you will not find it hard to change positions.
This bed, though very responsive, has a nice way of stopping the transfer of motion. The coils are wrapped individually, which can help absorb movement. So though it’s bouncy, it knows when to stop movement from being dispersed to the other side of the bed.
This is one ‘em latex mattress that has a high bounce yet will not wake your partner in the middle of the night once you start tossing and turning.
We also see this as very convenient for those who have limited mobility. It has a high bounce and will help you switch positions in a jiffy.
This is a medium firm to firm mattress, it can give you that feeling on the bed feeling and you will not experience that hug or cuddle. So if you’re looking for contoured comfort like a kid hugging her teddy bear at night, then this is not for you.
Nolah Natural
Some folks have a latex allergy, they can experience itching and rashes. It’s not just about that, this can turn ugly and cause anaphylaxis. So if you have such allergies but find latex the only comfortable mattress, you don't have to fret.
You’ve got to find something organic and eco-friendly. Nolah Natural is made from organic hypoallergenic materials. So you can enjoy that nice bounce and sufficient cushioning in the lumbar area without having to worry about flare-ups.
It is a very responsive bed, so a great idea for couples. It gives that balanced feel and when you lay on the bed with the legs sprawled, you’ll even have support from the four corners of the mattress.
You’ll also love that it has a sufficient sink that even side steps will find very comforting and relaxing. But at the same time, you get that nice pressure relief for both the shoulders and the hips. As such, stomach sleepers might find it too sinking. They might need something firmer and more supportive
Awara Hybrid
Mattresses of this latex type can be really expensive, but you can get them at a more affordable price with AWARA
This is one of ‘em hybrid latex mattresses that has very minimal motion transfer, this is among our top choices if you are looking for a solution to a blissful sleep for you and your loved one. But what is surprising is despite the minimal close to no motion transfer, this bed is rather bouncy, very bouncy in fact. It has a system of coils that render the mattress a bouncy feel but restrain the transfer of movement at the same time.
So this can suffice both couples’ need for rest and play. It is highly responsive and you’ll find it easy to change sleeping positions too. And oh, the cover is made from organic wool and cotton, so you got that breathable top that also has that satisfying cushion. it feels rather luxe if you ask us.
Even it’s a budget mattress, but keep in mind that a very bouncy feel might not be everyone’s cup of tea, well except for intimate rowdy nights.
Silk and Snow Organic
This is another hybrid latex mattress that can make up for every fun night for couples. It is highly responsive and bouncy. The combination of the latex and the coils made this bed easy to move across, while at the same time, it was able to deaden the noise. So you will not hear that squeaky noise with every toss and turn.
It consists of three types of coils, thick at the center, thinner coils at the head and foot, and another layer of coils near the edge of the mattress. This styling of coils makes up for a very nice balanced surface all across the bed. The central coils also prevent sagging at the center. That’s why it can feel too firm for side sleepers. It may lack that nice plushness that your shoulders and hips need.
It is also made of organic materials, but it is competitively priced. So this can be your ideal organic latex bed even if you are on a budget.

Birch Original
Your standard latex mattress often has a high bounce but when it comes to motion transfer, it can be a nightmare. Like the Eco Terra, the coils of this mattress are individually wrapped. This is supposed to render the mattress less likely to transfer motions, as the brand also claims. But in our experience, we did feel a bit more movement than we were expecting. Though it’s not as rowdy, there is still significant movement that can wake up light sleepers. But this can work if your partner doesn’t easily awaken by your tossing and turning at night.
It has a medium-firm feel and has the firmest feel if you are lying on your back. So this can be heaven for heavier backslappers that need a firm bed to retreat for the night.
The edge support is okay but not the best. It was able to hold itself up. But this bed does allow you to sink a bit in the center of the bed. Though the sensation is not akin to how memory foam hugs you, there is a bit more sinking in the bed. So if you have limited mobility, this may seem challenging for you. But if you don’t mind a bit of the bed experience, then you’d be happy with a breathable mattress like Bitch Original.
Sleep EZ
One of the things that sets this apart is that it’s a highly customizable mattress. It has more firmness levels and more variety of heights. This is also one of the cooler latex mattresses we have tried, making it ideal even if the temperature rises.
You can opt to have one side with a firmer mattress and one side with a softer one. So for couples with different firmness preferences, you can take turns on who gets to pick their favorite mattress feel of the month.
But this will give you more of the on-bed experience, it will have less than average sinkage level, but the bouncy feel is above average. It’s not ultra-responsive, but you’ll find it quite amenable to switching positions.
The cons is, motion transfer is quite high.
Avocado Green Hybrid
This is a cooler latex hybrid mattress that gets its cooling effect from natural materials. While we have a couple of breathable latex mates on the list, this model sets itself apart by using a combination of breathable materials to render the mattress more airy and comfortable for the hotter weather. The combination of wool, cotton, and natural latex prevents heat from getting trapped.
This can be a rather premium choice, but it is a standout if you’re looking for joint support. It can cushion your joints rather well. This can keep the surface medium firm. Though side sleepers may still find the bed too firm for a comfortable sleep.
Saatva Zenhaven Natural
For spinal alignment, this is our top choice. It has a zoned pressure point system that helps with alignment. It also has a denser firmer foam placed near the lumbar area. This is paired with a softer, lower-density foam at the head and foot of the bed.
So you can feel fully supported at the center of the bed, and it can help keep your spine at the right angle as you move through sleeping positions. This helps get rid of and prevent body aches and stiffness, especially if you have been sleeping in the same position.
Thus we highly recommend this for those with lingering back pain.
Also, this cooler mattress has a cotton wool combination cover. It feels light and airy.
And oh, this also offers two different types of comfort levels. You can opt to have one side softer than the other a bit firmer, thus giving you more value for your money.
Other latex mattresses we lab tested
Spindle Organic
This is a very unique mattress that allows you to customize the comfort level. It has three layers of interchangeable latex foam that gives you liberty on how you want the bed to feel each night.
You can stack the latex mattress of varying firmness levels. Once you’ve found your preferred firmness, zip the mattress cover up, But the con is, that some may not be up to changing these layers every now or so. So while it has a very unique advantage, it’s up to you if you are willing to do the extra work of changing the layers.
The latex layers surprisingly account for the low motion transfer. So if you’re looking for one for light sleepers, this can be your mattress.
The cons is, all the layers are thinner than other brands. That’s why it feels firmer and will not give you that average sinking or contoured feel.
Winkbeds Eco Cloud
This is called cloud for a reason. This is one of those latex mattresses that can give you a more contoured sleeping surface. It has a higher sinkage level compared to most latex hybrid mattresses and pure latex ones.
So this is for those who are looking for a combination of responsiveness, bounciness, and impressive sinking-in feeling. Though not the same as memory foam, it can give you sufficient contouring if you feel like you get to be hugged every time you sleep. It creates a generalized contour around the body. It has a very comfortable medium firm feel for all types of sleepers.
It is also made of organic materials, Talalay latex and cotton. The bottom part has pocketed coils that make for the bed’s high responsiveness.
But oh, the downside is, that it can have a rather significant motion transfer. So this is not for couples who are light sleepers. But they will find this very fun and conducive to lovemaking.
Bouncy but not Restless
Get ready to sink, decently that is, into a supportive and bouncy bed of latex. Materials of such can make a bed both suitable for rest and play.
