Royal-Pedic 7-Zone Natural Latex Mattresses

Like the Royal-Pedic cotton mattresses, the Royal-Pedic 7-Zone natural latex mattresses contain hand-tufted cotton padding, but they have a latex core instead of an inner spring system. The natural latex core makes the Royal-Pedic 7-Zone natural latex mattresses more supple. The seven zones vary in firmness with softer upper back and pelvic areas for pressure point relief and spinal alignment, and a firmer lumbar area for spinal support and relief of tension. Pressure relaxation channels provide flexibility, pressure point relief, and proper spinal alignment for side sleepers, and the special pin core construction enables ventilation of body heat.

Natural Latex Core

The natural latex that composes the core of the mattress is harvested from rubber trees in India and Malaysia, and it's naturally hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and resistant to dust mites. The lack of an inner spring system means that side by side sleepers can rest in motionless comfort. The supple latex conforms to body contours and provides independent support for two people of different weights. The natural latex core retains its firmness in any temperature, unlike other temperature-sensitive foam mattresses that lose their shape.

Hand-Crafted & Custom Built for You

Skilled craftsmen make each Royal-Pedic mattress by hand, layering the cotton padding on each side of the 7-zone latex core to ensure a consistent, supportive sleep surface. The premium cotton padding is pre-compressed and hand-tufted. You'll never have to worry about lumps or shifting materials with a Royal-Pedic 7-Zone natural latex mattress. The cotton ticking ventilates body heat and lasts longer than polyurethane foam, the main padding ingredient in other mattresses. You'll find no polyurethane foam in a Royal-Pedic mattress. Over time, polyurethane weakens, causing indentations in the mattress. Furthermore, many people are sensitive to the chemicals associated with polyurethane padding.

Seven Zones of Comfort & Orthopedic Support

Designed for all heights, and symmetrically designed to remain consistent when the mattress is rotated in any direction, the seven zones of Royal-Pedic 7-Zone Natural Latex Mattresses were developed (based upon sleep studies) to provide optimal sleeping comfort and ergonomic support to all parts of the body.

Zone 1. Head & Neck Zone - The ideal level of firmness for your head and neck prevents tension and pain in neck muslces.

Zone 2. Should & Upper Back Zone - Your shoulders are the widest part of your body, so they require the softer surface provided by this zone. Two half-moon shaped Pressure Relaxation Channels are incorporated through the width of the shoulder & upper back zone, providing extra flexibility.

Zone 3. Lumbar Zone - Essential for lower back comfort, the lumbar zone is the most firm to provide support for the natural curve in your back and prevent the spine from sagging. On average, humans carry 40% of their body weight in their midsection. Without the additional firmness of the lumbar zone, a soft mattress forces your spine into a hammock-like bend due to the inherent nature of gravity, and muscles become stretched and strained, resulting in stiffness and pain. The lumbar zone relieves tension and lower back pain.

Zone 4. Pelvic Zone - Hard mattresses force your hips to rest on the mattress surface, causing your lower spine to bend in an uncomfortable, downward angled position. The softer, more flexible pelvic zone allows your hips to contour into the mattress for pressure point relief and proper spinal alignment. An exclusive circular Pressure Relaxation Channel provides further mattress flexibility and comfort when you sleep on your side.

Zone 5. Knee Zone - The knee zone is the same firmness as the lumbar zone. Latex is inherently supple in nature, providing correct support for your knees and easing inflamed joints.

Zone 6. Lower Leg Zone - The lower leg zone features the same firmness and Pressure Relaxation Channels as the shoulder & upper back zone. It creates soft and supple support for your calves and provides comfort and pressure point relief to your feet and ankles when your knees are bent.

Zone 7. Foot & Ankle Zone - Constructed with the same firmness as the head & neck zone, this soft and supple zone provides comfort and pressure point relief to your feet and ankles.

Royal Latex 7-Zone Mattress

The 7.5" Royal Latex 7-Zone mattress is very firm for orthopedic support; the firmness level is comparable to that of the Royal-Pedic All Cotton Mattress. If you prefer more cushion, select the Royal Latex 7-Zone Quilt-Top Mattress (below) or an optional Royal-Pedic Pillowtop Mattress Pad.

Royal Latex 7-Zone Quilt-Top Mattress

The 8" Royal Latex 7-Zone Quilt-Top Mattress is comparable to the Royal-Pedic Quilt-Top Mattress in terms of firmness level. The surface of the Royal Latex 7-Zone Quilt-Top Mattress is quilted rather than tufted, so the latex is in a more relaxed state. It is the softest latex mattress available, yet it still provides excellent orthopedic support because of the firm lumbar zone, which prevents the spine from sagging. The Royal Latex 7-Zone Quilt-Top Mattress is recommended for platform beds because it contours well to the body on a hard surface.

Its natural latex core is quilted in a Belgian cotton covering that wicks away moisture, plus untreated New Zealand lamb's wool and a hypoallergenic polyester comfort fill. The wool also acts as a natural barrier to dust mites, thanks to a substance in wool known as lanolin. The wool is naturally flame resistant, hypoallergenic, and free of chemicals, bleaches, and dyes. Its ability to absorb body moisture provides a dry sleeping environment and helps prevent the build-up of bacteria and mold.
