how does organic cotton compare to latex?

In general, latex is going to have a bit more sproingy-ness to it. Firm but with give. The cotton is going to be soft but also firm and it will eventually flatten out (over a long, long term of use) whereas latex tends to bounce back over and over again. Not sure if that was the intent of you question, but I hope it helps.

I got this for my mom who was complaining about her old latex pad. She loves this one - says she sleeps better and is cooler. It is a little strange making the bed because it is not fitted with elastic.

Yes, you use the latex free for water exercise. I learned that at an AEA convention. The latex free is durable to water & sweat, and doesn't deteriorate. For that reason, it is better for land exercise also.

I think so but am not positive. There is no indication on the product of the type of material used. It feels silky and has some stretch to it for a good fit but does not feel like latex at all.

I don't know, but my king size smells like chemicals. It really stinks and I have to keep the window cracked in the room. I have other latex bedding products that only smell like rubber, but this one smells really strong of nasty chemicals. Too bad.

They are not lined with a woven cotton, but whatever it is it doesn't have latex in it. I clean houses and am sensitive to latex. I wash these after each use. They are not super sturdy but if using them at home where you don't need to wash all the time, they are good. Similar to BLiss gloves that I can buy at the grocery store.

Its all about how you clean it after you do the job. Latex paints are easier to work with because they are water based.

This pillow and the shredded latex pillow you posted on are both filled pillows but they will feel different. Latex is more "bouncy" and the Nanobead pillow is designed for motion isolation so your head can hit the pillow and be completely cradled. If you like the idea of latex but don't want a solid pillow instead of shredded, the zoned latex pillow is another good option.

I've bought this before at Walmart. They are biodegradable. When you open it it smells like fertilizer. But let me see if I can remember. Lid made in China. Balloons made in China or Mexico and bottle made in USA. I'm sure coming from Walmart for 10 bucks they're not latex free. Leslie's pool supply makes one with the tie. It's a bit more but I'm pretty sure it's latex free. Beware. This pump will look big but will mage at most ten balloons

They are like a hard plastic. But if you are allergic to latex, I would contact the manufacturer. They were a gift for a coworker, so I don't have the instruction sheet. Sorry I cannot safely answer your question.

It's blended (part natural latex part synthetic latex) made by the Talalay process, from the item description (whenever it says blended, it's not 100% natural latex)

I think bleached cotton. Not sure though. One thing I can say, I am using the Econobum CD for the past two years and it is great !

I'm sorry but I only own one organic cotton and one velour sheet. I love these sheets so much, I wish I could afford more! I am a routine washer and both have held up great over the past year. The velour sheet zips a little easier than the organic cotton one but I am still very pleased with the functionality of these sheets. I use wonder bumpers on my daughter's crib and it sure beats having to tear apart my crib each time I wash because mattresses fit so snug these days!!

Both versions have a jersey cotton inner layer and the same amount of polyfil. The only difference is the outer layer - cotton in one and microfleece in the other. If you are looking to maximize breathability, the cotton would probably be your better option.

I'm sensitive to most organic cotton and can't wear it if there's a smell. There was only a 'line dry' smell to it (I think it was line dried, literally), which I am sensitive to, but after sticking between a hand towel w/ a little of my detergent and water for a day, then doing it w/ plain water the next day, I had no problem and have been using it for 5 months now. :)

Latex. You can stretch them only once and it loses its elasticity somewhat ..

I don't feel comfortable answering this question. I suggest you Google the differences between natural and organic. You could also ask Bob's Red Mill the same question.
