You won’t find latex in any of the Helix Core, Luxe, or Elite mattresses, so those models are a safe choice if you have a latex allergy.
Latex is used in the Birch mattresses, as well as the Talalay Latex Pillow. However, it’s important to note:
-
The majority of latex allergies are caused by direct skin contact or airborne latex particles.
-
In the Birch Mattress, the latex is fully encased within the mattress layers, so there is no direct skin-to-latex contact during normal use.
If you have a latex allergy and are considering Birch, we recommend consulting your allergist prior to purchase to make sure it’s the right option for you.
