Non Toxic Mattresses Made in Arizona for AZ
The hottest selling beds on the planet right now are those made with Memory Foam or Gel Infused Memory Foam. You see them everywhere especially on TV and online. They are getting cheaper and cheaper largely due to the fact that China is now mass producing them for the U.S. market but did you know that today’s foams may contain any or all of the following, each are known carcinogens.
Latex International Talalay Latex contains none of these.
Talalay Latex Mattresses are Toxin Free
Arizona Premium Mattress has been providing Arizona with toxin free mattresses for over 14 years. We’ve been quietly producing these wonderful talalay and dunlop latex beds in our North Phoenix factory and shipping them all over the country and of course our beloved AZ as well. Well with the Chinese invasion in the mattress industry and companies like Overstock and Amazon bringing these beds to the top of Google search results it’s no wonder why our immune systems are under attack. With all the environmental toxins our liver has to filter out do we really need to add more fuel to the fire by sleeping on chemically dowsed mattresses? I say Hell No and it’s time to change the way we look at our sleeping environment.
Non Toxic Mattresses for Kids
My kids will never know how lucky they are that from their very first night in this world they always had a non toxic latex mattress to sleep on. That mattress has been passed along through my 3 children and on to my grandchildren. Recently my wife read an article that said jet fuel was showing up in women’s breast milk, that’s right, breast milk. Here’s an excerpt from that article – When writer Florence Williams was nursing her second child, she read a research study about toxins found in human breast milk. She decided to test her own breast milk and shipped a sample to a lab in Germany. What came back surprised her.
Trace amounts of pesticides, dioxin and a jet fuel ingredient — as well as high to average levels of flame retardants — were all found in her breast milk. How could something like this happen? You can read the rest of the article here. Flame retardant mattresses are now required by law. Yep, our own government has mandated that we make mattresses flame proof and the only way to do that is to cover them with flame retardant materials which are now seem to be showing up in breast milk. All of this because a couple of people fell asleep while smoking in bed. There is one other non-toxic option for mattress covering materials – natural wool. Natural wool is naturally flame retardant and is precisely what we use in our non toxic latex mattresses here at Arizona Premium Mattress Co.
So with all the environmental toxicity around us do we really need to have our faces buried in more every night when we sleep? I think not. Every night I sleep soundly knowing my family is protected from all that with their wool comforters, latex mattress and latex pillows. Visit our factory showroom for a complete education on providing you and your family with non toxic sleep solutions which includes latex mattresses and pillows.

Burning Up in Phoenix on Your Mattress Topper?
If you are like me and will do anything to escape the Phoenix heat that can effect your sleeping then you probably tried adding a mattress topper to your bed. The problem is most of the mattress toppers found in Phoenix are not designed to eliminate heat but rather reflect it back at you. Yuck! That’s not what we need here. We need a cool mattress pad that will allow our body heat to flow through the bed instead. The toppers found in the mega warehouse stores, even though they are blue and lead you to believe are cooler, are in fact just slightly cooler than the regular memory foam. Sure they got some gel beads in there but if you look at the reviews by actual customers you will see they too are hot!
The open cell construction of a latex mattress topper allows air to pass through the pad and give you the cooling effect we all desire in these hot summer temperatures. Most other mattress toppers are made with closed cell foam which does not breathe well at all and only complicates our sleep here in Phoenix, AZ. Most mattress toppers are designed to relieve pressure points and both memory foam and latex foam do just that, but latex does it without the heat factor.
Cool Mattress Pads Without the Nasty Smell
If you were one of the millions who’s purchased a memory foam mattress topper then you know what I’m referring to. I had a customer just yesterday tell me she wished she had found me a couple of months ago because she bought one of those new blue mattress pads and found it to be no different than her other memory foam pad and it too made her sweat at night. She also had to leave it outside for 3 days before the smell went away enough for her to even bring it into the house. Latex toppers come from mother nature and only have a slight natural rubber smell and are completely non-toxic.
Women with Hot Flashes – Help is Here with a Latex Mattress Topper
You know what I’m talking about gals, it’s a miserable time in your life and a memory foam bed and/or topper only complicates your ongoing issues. My solution – get rid of it. Go to what is known to help with the heat factor and get yourself a cool mattress topper made with latex foam. We carry them in several configurations including 2″ and 3″. Both regular latex and slow recovery latex for those who like the feel of memory foam but without the side effects. We also carry the Pure Latex Bliss mattress toppers which are pure elegance and comfort.
The addition of a latex pillow will also help with those night sweats you’ve been experiencing. I’m not saying it’s going to eliminate them but it surely will help.

Experienced Latex Bliss Dealer in Phoenix, AZ
Arizona Premium Mattress is proud to be amongst the newest Latex Bliss dealers in Phoenix, AZ. What sets us apart from the other Bliss dealers is our vast knowledge in the field of latex mattresses, latex mattress toppers and latex pillows. We’ve been specializing in latex mattress products since 1998 and were there when things were just getting started. We were there when nobody even knew what a latex mattress was. We were one of the first Latex International customers when they opened their doors. Nowhere in Arizona will you get a more knowledgeable staff when it comes to latex bedding components than here at Arizona Premium Mattress Company.
Latex Bliss Poised to Make Latex Mattresses a Household Word in Phoenix
Latex International’s retail division, Latex Bliss, is bound and determined to get the word out about the wonderful benefits of owning a comfortable, eco friendly and still durable latex mattress, mattress pad or latex pillow. For years memory foam products have been on everyone’s mind but it’s time for memory foam to move over and make way for a veteran in the mattress industry, latex foam. That’s right, latex foam is not the new kid on the block and in fact latex mattresses were almost 15% of total mattress sales during it’s hay day in the 60′s and early 70′s. Then tragedy struck (actually it was an arsonist) and the one factory that produced the latex components for us mattress manufactures went up in flames almost never to return to the U.S. marketplace again.
Latex Bliss Products offer Comfort and Durability for Arizonans
With the big “S” companies failing to produce quality products these days it’s no wonder why the door has swung wide open for Latex Bliss to make a real name for itself. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t speak to someone who has bought within the last 4 years a name brand mattress only to have two massive craters in the middle of the bed. Just ask yourself what happens when you get a “no flip” pillowtop mattress? Answer- it wears out twice as fast and costs you twice as much. Nice gig if you can get it and believe me, the big companies get it.
The durability of latex is it’s mainstream downfall and why it’s rare to even find one these days. No, it doesn’t fall apart like the other foam beds, in fact it lasts too long for today’s hustlers. You see we live in a disposable economy and nothing lasts like it used to. Of course not, it’s better to just pay half the price from China and replace it more often with the newer model right? We’ve been brainwashed into believing that “you must change out your mattress every 5-8 years” otherwise the creepy crawlys are going to devour you. Nonsense, the video below speaks for itself so just watch and learn that old school is not dead but alive in Latex Bliss.
Latex Bliss Products for Phoenix
Latex Bliss is devoted to expanding it’s market share in Phoenix to the point of warehousing their product line in town so we can have fast access to their collection of latex mattresses, latex mattress toppers and latex pillows. Our top sellers include their 3″ latex mattress pad that actually feels like memory foam but yet is made of slow recovery latex called Active Fusion. The Active Fusion toppers also are available in the regular fast recovery formula which is my personal favorite and sits atop my own bed mainly because this product is about 5 degrees cooler than even regular talalay latex. I don’t even have to tell you what that means to someone living in Phoenix, AZ aka “hell” in the summer. I can’t even fathom the fact the people flock to the warehouse stores and buy those hot memory foam mattress toppers when a much better solution is right here in town with Latex Bliss mattress toppers.
Latex Bliss pillows are a dream for anyone who is a “hot head”. I sleep with three latex pillows to ensure good air flow and keep me cool at night. Even with summer around the corner I have no fear of going to bed knowing that I have the best air circulation under me from my latex mattress, then topper then latex pillows. The Latex Bliss pillow collection includes both high profile and low profile variations of shredded latex, all natural talalay latex and their standard blended talalay latex and all come with beautiful washable covers.
Why buy a tempur mattress when you can have a cool latex mattress for much less? The price points for the Latex Bliss mattresses can accommodate most anyone’s budget and the fumes won’t put you in the hospital because there aren’t any! If you are chemically sensitive like so many of our customers then this is the bed for you. Open cell foam does not off-gas unlike it’s cousin the closed cell (tempur) memory foam which it notorious for just that. It would takes months to filter through all the complaints online about the harsh chemical smell of the leading memory foam mattresses. Latex Bliss mattresses are eco friendly, non-toxic and just what the doctor ordered for our hot climate. Stop by our Phoenix latex mattress showroom today and take a Latex Bliss product for a “rest” drive.

The Essential D.I.Y. Latex Mattress
If you suffer from circulation issues, sore back, sore hips or shoulders and not a lot of money to remedy any of these issues then listen up. I have some tips that might fit your pocket book for a DIY latex foam mattress. Assuming that buying a new all latex mattress is out of your budget then consider this, buy the cheapest and firmest spring or poly foam mattress you can find. Usually around $300 or less depending on size. The main thing to look for when building your do-it-yourself latex mattress is a firm base. A thinner (no pillowtop) spring mattress works well for what we are going to build on a budget. Many folks may already have in use a worn out memory foam mattress that can also be used as a base core by simply flipping it over and using the under side.
Latex Mattress on a Budget – DIY
Now that you have a firm base you need to add the most important part, a latex mattress topper. Here you will have to spend some money but nothing like a complete latex bed. I highly recommend going with our Rejuvenite 3″ Talalay latex mattress topper which comes with a very nice protective cover. I’ve seen this same topper (although branded differently) sell for over $1200 but you can get it from us for around $400 depending on the size. It also comes in two different firmness levels. #19 for those who are mainly side sleepers like myself, and #28 for those who mostly sleep on their back. This product is made in USA by Latex International and can be dropped shipped straight from the factory in CT or distribution center in TX. Lately we’ve been getting excellent service on these and ship time out the factory door is usually just 3-5 days. So you see now you can get a really nice and durable DIY latex mattress for less than $800 in king or queen. Even less if you already have a suitable base core or spring mattress.
Ok, here’s where the rubber hits the road, pun intended! If compromise is not an option and you want a complete do-it-yourself latex mattress without springs or poly foam then here’s what I suggest doing – Buy two latex mattress toppers, one firmer than the other. We have a nice selection of latex mattress pads including our exclusive duvet topper made in Belgium. Two toppers stacked will give you 6 inches of Pure Latex Bliss, which is another line of latex mattress products we carry but you get the meaning. The great thing about buying latex toppers is that you get to actually feel the latex since only a thin protective cover is between you and the latex foam itself. With the Federal Flammability laws that are currently in place latex mattresses are usually wrapped in thick wool or some other insulation that takes away some of the natural feel of real botanical latex. Most of the complete latex mattress that we sell in our Phoenix showroom are also being purchased with an additional latex mattress pad. That combination is running over 2 grand in a king size. Two king toppers are less the $900 so you can save significantly by just doubling up. We also have 3″ latex toppers available in both all natural dunlop and all natural talalay for those who want the purest latex on the planet. I can tell you from personal experience that just 3″ of latex can offer enough comfort to sleep right on the floor. 6 inches will give you a very nice, long lasting, economical do-it-yourself latex mattress.
