Pure Green Latex Mattress Topper Review | 100% Natural | 2024 Update

by latex toppers, mattress topper reviews, mattress toppers

T he Pure Green Series of has been dominating most of our categories that include latex toppers, and there are 3 reasons for that.

One – since we first started testing and reviewing latex toppers, which have seen no significant changes in quality or user satisfaction with the Pure Green Series.

Two – the versatility of sizes and firmness options, which is a pretty big deal for people looking for something in between a firm latex topper and the loft of memory foam, fiber or down.

Three – in terms of value for money, Pure Green is pretty much as good as it gets. Each product coming from the is brand 3rd-party certified and there’s no fine print to indicate that it includes anything but natural latex.

The adaptability

There are some new arrivals (like the Vygor series) that do offer the same kind of versatility in terms of the balance between firmness and loft but we’re still a long way from gathering enough data to reliably review and rate these.

That’s why not much has changed since the last update and Pure Green Series remains king of its domain.

In our opinion, it is the only product of its kind out there to provide the kind of versatility and adaptability to meet the needs of people with different preferences and scenarios (from classic mattresses to sofa beds).

Soft

The density of the latex used in the soft version is 4 LBS per cubic feet and the ILD is 20.

Medium

5 LBS per cubic feet and on ILD of 30 – this will be the choice of people who find memory foam or down too soft and firm latex not lofty or comfortable enough.

Firm

Quality aspects

Sinking / Contouring

With any memory foam topper you see significant sinking of your shoulders and hips. If the foam is sub-par and the mattress not supportive enough the sinking can misalign your spine.

With latex, you’ll see much less of that, to the point where we wouldn’t call it sinking at all. We’d say that a better way to put it is “contouring”.

It’s our opinion that this kind of “hug” is far superior to that of memory foam, primarily because of the balance between support and comfort. This month’s update reflect that since we just recent tweaked our ratings formula.

Durability

The one thing that you want to look for if you’re considering a latex topper is that it’s 3rd tested, preferably using the LGA testing standards.

The Pure Green Series scored an unparalleled 99 out of 100 in the LGA physical properties tests.

Having in mind that it’s 100% natural latex that comes as no surprise. What this number means in real life is that no matter what kind of mattress you have, the topper will probably outlast it.

Property changes and breathability

One of the most important aspects of natural latex (compared to materials like polyurethane or memory foam) is that it doesn’t change with temperature.

With memory foam, especially that the low quality, you’ll see changes in the properties as the material heats up – primarily in terms of shape retention and firmness.

We have seen none of that with the Pure Green Series. This comes as no surprise with latex of this quality. If you ask us, this is one the main reasons that makes it worth the extra buck.

Range of sizes and thickness

All the versions above come in the range of sizes from Twin to California King and thickness of 1 to 3 inches.

Certifications

The Pure Green Series holds the 3 most important labels of 3rd testing for the volatility of the organic compounds – Oeko-Tex standard 100, the Green Guard & Eco-Institute Certificate.

Source of the latex

It’s not often to see a company specifically listing where and how the material is sourced.

In the case of the Pure Green, they specify that the latex is locally sourced in Sri Lanka (where their manufacturing facilities are).Dunlop versus Talalay processing

One of the common confusions with people looking for a latex stopper is the difference between Dunlop and Talalay.

We won’t be going into the nitty-gritty of the two processes here. What we do want to stress is that Talalay his more of a bouncy feeling while the Dunlop is supportive in a way that can be described as “springy.”

Consistency in manufacturing standards and latex sourcing is one of the key components of a latex products that is to be trusted in the long run. That’s why we keep a close eye on any changes to where the materials comes from and the processes it goes in manufacturing.

Off-gassing and odor

If you get a latex topper and there is no faint latex smell, it’s not a good sign. All natural latex has a slight odor dissipation that goes away within a day or two.

The good news is, unlike chemical smells, the smell of latex is pleasant.

It’s also not a smell that can trigger an allergic reaction since natural latex is hypoallergenic and antimicrobial. But if you are especially sensitive to odor, you can always unpack the topper and air it out for a few hours.

Can it be used on its own?

Unlike most memory foam or down toppers that come with the cover of their own, what you receive with the Pure Green is just a topper.

This means that you can’t use it by putting it directly on the frame and you’ll need sheets to go with it.

We would recommend fitted sheets that are that just deep enough to accommodate the height of your chosen topper combined with the mattress or sofa bed.

Consistent results

When we analyze a product, we have a few factors in place that are red lights that indicate a significant change in either quality of manufacturing practices.

We won’t bore you with the details, but these parameters are in place to make sure that the ratings we assign are just as relevant for the most recent experiences as they are for the ones shared a year or five ago.

In our view, this part is crucial in the modern market where many companies try to cut corners and lower the production cost. We are happy to report we have seen all those parameters stay well within the “normal” changes range. In other words, the product has not changed much since we first analyzed it. That’s a big plus.

Bottom line

The Pure Green Series continues to dominate the ratings among latex toppers and the current gap between the brand and runner-up is significant.

To put it simply, we don’t see it locking horns and battling it out for the top spot anytime soon.

Just to illustrate that – it’s been almost 2 years now since we started rating and reviewing toppers and the brand has been King of the Hill since day 1.
