Is latex better than memory foam?

Not necessarily. It just depends on your personal preference. If you are looking for a mattress that offers durability, lots of "bounce" i.e. movement, and wicks away heat from your body, then a latex mattress should be worthy of your consideration. But that said, they aren't the cheapest mattress to buy - and memory foams have some benefits over a latex anyway.

Do latex mattresses ever sag?

Yes. All mattresses will eventually sag, even a handmade one by a high-end company like John Ryan By Design. However, a latex mattress by its very nature is more robust than a memory foam one, and should last longer. Of course, that is reflected in the price - but a latex mattress will generally have a longer warranty period too.

What are the advantages of latex?

Nowadays everyone wants a "natural" product, and although it's debatable what that means, there's no denying that a plastic-based memory foam mattress is going to be worse for the environment than one made of a natural product like rubber (latex). Latex also has other advantages as discussed above: wicking away moisture and heat from your body, they should also last a bit longer. However don't make the mistake of thinking that latex mattresses are always "organic" or "chemical free" - believe me, latex-based mattresses don't look anything like latex does in its natural state!
