It offers “bottomless” pressure relief for your body. Whether
you are on your back or side, you will have less pressure on
more inches of Talalay latex. Did you know when you lay on
your side, your shoulders and hips have 7 times more
pressure on them than when you lay on your back? Pressure
relief is important to your muscles and it keeps the blood
flowing to your extremities so you don’t have numb fingers,
hands and arms. But more importantly, your body responds to
pressure by moving during the night which will likely lessen
the quality of your sleep.
It offers “uplifting” support for your body.Your
body needs support. It needs it for ideal body alignment and
ideal spinal alignment. The benefit of good support is good
posture. We love the phrase, better posture at night equals
better posture during the day. Talalay latex offers an
effect that is not found with traditional bedding materials.
Talalay latex is uplifting and it is also pressure
relieving. All other materials in a mattress are either one
or the other, but not both. Most people think they need a
firm bed, but that is only partially true. They need a bed
with strong support, but they also need a bed that offers
pressure relief on top of that. Firm on the bottom and soft
on top is probably a more ideal formula.
It offers a “resilient” natural rubber construction.Most
people want a mattress to last a long time. It is a big
investment. Simply put, you can buy an $1,000 mattress three
times over the years or you can buy one $3,000 mattress and
have it last 15 years. Talalay latex is incredibly
resilient. The easiest way to understand that Talalay latex
lasts longer is to understand that Talalay latex is a rubber
not a poly foam. Rubber is more resilient. It’s the nature
of the material.

The Talalay Advantage
Do you know what’s inside your mattress? When you have a Talalay latex mattress,
the answer is simple; 100% Talalay latex. Every Talalay latex mattress starts
out as a tree. We harvest the liquid latex from the tropical Hevea brasiliensis
tree and turn it into the finest mattresses, using eco-friendly production
methods at our manufacturing facility in Shelton, CT.
Talalay latex mattresses are more breathable, resilient and offer unmatched
support and pressure relief; the key elements to getting the best night’s sleep
you have ever had! You never have to compromise comfort because we offer a full
spectrum of “feels” from firm to ultra-plush. Each bed is made by hand and put
through rigorous quality testing before it enters your bedroom.
Invest in quality. Invest in the environment. Choose Talalay.
6
Reasons to Choose Talalay Latex
Our Talalay latex isOeko-Tex certified
as Class I, the highest rating possible. This certification verifies our
products are free from harmful substances and is even safe for babies. Very
few latex or foam producers in the world meet the standards of this
independent, third-party certification. Even our adhesives are water-based
and free of solvents.
Mattresses and pillows made of Talalay latex breathe up to seven times
better than other types of latex or foam products, allowing for cooler
sleep. The materials in most mattresses and pillows don’t allow body heat to
dissipate, which can interrupt your sleep, but Talalay latex has a
breathable design and cell structure that creates a temperature neutral
environment.
Talalay latex is ideal for people with allergies and asthma. It is naturally
mold, mildew and dust mite resistant and is inherently antibacterial and
antifungal.
The Talalay process features natural, biodegradable ingredients that come
from renewable resources and water-based raw materials: natural latex, air
and water. The rubber trees are not harmed in the latex harvesting process.
In fact, they are productive for 25 years, absorbing carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere and helping to reduce greenhouse gases. We are also mindful of
our energy and water consumption during the manufacturing process. Our
manufacturing automation optimizes energy usage for the molding stage and
our state of the art factory features energy efficient lighting. Our
multi-stage washer has been engineered so it minimizes the amount of water
consumed without reducing the quality of the finished product.
Our manufacturing facility is based in Shelton, CT, USA.
Talalay doesny off-gas like synthetic foam or polyurethane. You may notice
the “new bed smell” of the latex when it first
Quality
Talalay vs. Dunlop
Not all latex is created equal.TalalayandDunlopare
the two processes used in mattress production. The Dunlop process was developed
in 1929 and was the first method used to produce latex material for bedding.
As technology progressed, theTalalay processwas
developed by theTalalayfamily
during World War II. The Talalay process is significantly more complex and
costly, but produces softer, more buoyant and luxurious finished products.
So why is there such a difference? TheTalalay processtakes
four times longer thanDunlopwith
two additional process steps—vacuum and flash freezing—which improve the
consistency, quality and feel of the finished latex.
The vacuum evenly distributes the latex throughout the mold, allowing us to
create precise and varied feels in the finishedTalalay
latex. A mattress is made more firm or plush based on how much latex is
poured into the mold. With theDunlop processthere
is little ability to vary the feel of the finished product because the liquid
latex is poured onto a conveyor belt resulting in a dense piece of latex every
time. The only way to soften the feel of Dunlop latex is to add “fillers” into
the liquid latex formula, which can result in solid latex that is flaky and
breaks down quickly. The flash freezing step givesTalalayits
consistent feel. Liquid latex is a suspension of rubber particles in water, like
a shaken snow globe. Flash freezing prevents the latex particles from settling
to the bottom while gelling into a solid product. This means that the resulting
piece of solid Talalay latex has the same consistent feel from top to bottom,
and side to side. TheDunlop process doesn’t
utilize a freeze step. Therefore, the rubber particles settle to the bottom
while the liquid latex is gelling into a solid form, resulting in a variation of
feel from top to bottom. Think ofTalalay latex
like a chocolate soufflé; although the process is long, the end product is a
buoyant, airy, complex delight. Dunlop latex is more like a pound cake; tasty,
but dense and flat in comparison.

Step#2: VACUUM#0150;
This allows any amount of Latex to be evenly distributed throughout the mold
creating precise and varied firmness with the finished Latex. The more liquid
Latex thatand poured into the mold the firmer the resulting solid Latex.
Therefore, if less liquid Latex is used, a softer more supple piece of Latex
results.
This differs from Dunlop in that Dunlop process has very little ability to vary
the firmness or feel of the finished solid product while maintaining its
structural integrity. The liquid formula is poured onto a belt and you get the
same, dense piece of Latex every time. The only way to soften the feel of Dunlop
Latex is to add "fillers" into the liquid Latex formula which results in solid
Latex that is flaky and breaks down quickly.
Step#3: FLASH FREEZE#0150;
This provides TALALAY with its uniquely consistent characteristic. Liquid Latex
is a suspension of rubber particles in water, like a shaken snow globe. Flash
freezing prevents the Latex particles from settling to the bottom while gelling
into a solid product. This means that the resulting piece of solid TALALAY Latex
has the same consistent feel from top to bottom.
This differs from Dunlop because Dunlop process does not utilize a freeze step.
Therefore, the rubber particles settle to the bottom while the liquid Latex is
gelling into a solid form, like a snow globe, resulting in a variation of feel
from top to bottom. This is not recognizable if the Dunlop Latex is used as a
bottom layer of a mattress but can cause problems if Dunlop pieces are used for
pillows or as top layers of a mattress.CONCLUSION-
The TALALAY process takes four times longer than Dunlop with two additional
process steps that improve the consistency, quality and feel of the finished
Latex.
A simple analogy:TALALAY
Latex is like a chocolate souffl#233;; although the process is long, your end
product is a buoyant, airy, complex delight. Dunlop Latex is more like a tray of
brownies; tasty, but dense and flat in comparison.
Even though they’re both latex, there are significant differences between our
Talalay latex and Dunlop latex. They’re manufactured using different processes;
it takes 14 hours to make a Talalay latex mattress core, but less than one hour
to make a Dunlop mattress core.
But the most important differences are benefits to you. Here are six ways
Talalay latex better serves you:
Breathability
Talalay latex is FOUR TIMES more breathable than Dunlop Process latex. Why?
Talalay latex is aerated and has a large cell structure. Dunlop latex is
denser latex and has a small cell structure.
Pressure Relief
Talalay latex is 33% more pressure relieving than Dunlop latex. Why? The
vacuum process used in making Talalay latex allows for the latex to stretch
like a rubber band so it conforms to your body. Dunlop latex is a poured
process that creates latex which is less flexible. The rubber is more like
the rubber in an eraser.
Durability
Talalay latex is THREE TIMES more resilient than Dunlop latex. Why? The
Talalay latex process creates a round cell structure. As the latex is
compressed, a round cell structure does not break itself down. The Dunlop
Process creates a snowflake cell structure. As you might imagine, as you
compress a snowflake cell structure, the material breaks down.
Consistency
Talalay latex is the same feel from top to bottom and consistent from side
to side. Dunlop process latex is softer on top and firmer on the bottom.
Why? The Talalay process uses flash freezing that prevents the particles
from settling after curing. Because there is no freezing in the Dunlop
process, particles setting in the latex during curing creating firmness on
the bottom.
Clean
Talalay latex can wash out more proteins (which is a primary cause of latex
allergies) than Dunlop latex. Why? The Talalay latex process uses a
five-stage fresh water rinse process.
Support
Talalay latex provides not only pressure relief, but also support. Why?
Talalay latex is a two dimensional material. It offers support and pressure
relief. Dunlop Process latex is a one-dimensional material. It primarily
offers pressure relief similar to foam.
BothTalalay latexand Memory Foam
are marketed as the premium mattress materials, but they are very different.
Talalay latex is a rubber. Memory Foam is a foam, which doesn’t
provide both support and pressure relief.
Talalay latex rubberis a natural material derived
from the rubber tree. Memory foam is a synthetic material and is a
petroleum-based product.
Talalay latex rubberhas a breathable design and
cell structure that provides a temperature neutral environment. Memory foam is a
dense material, which needs heat to activate its pressure relieving quality. It
usually sleeps warmer.
You “sleep on”Talalay latex rubberand
it has an uplifting effect. You “sleep in” memory foam which provides a
“sinking” effect.
Talalay latex rubberis two dimensional material.
It is both supportive by being uplifting and is also pressure relieving. Most
memory foam mattresses use memory foam in the pressure relief layer and
traditional poly foam in the support layer.
Talalay latex rubberis “bottomless.” Even when
you lay on your side, your body does not “bottom out” into a hard layer in the
mattress or on the foundation. Memory foam allows you to bottom out onto what is
underneath it.
Talalay latex rubberis a fast response material.
When you move, it immediately responds to your new position. Memory foam is a
slow response material.
Talalay latex rubberis hypoallergenic and does
not off-gas. Memory foam is a petroleum-based product.
Talalay latex rubberis extremely durable. Because
it is vulcanized, it is the most resilient material available in a mattress.
Talalay latex rubberis inherently antibacterial
and antifungal.

The difference is in the chemicals. Many mattress adhesives contain a variety of
toxic chemicals. Solvent-based mattress adhesives are filled with 48 toxic
chemicals and foam has an additional 7. A Talalay latex mattress is just that,
100% Talalay. Our beds are made with water-based adhesives
and contain 6
non-toxic chemicals (acrylate resins, diphenyl diisocyanate,
Phenol-melamine resins, Phenol-urea, Polyvinyl acetate and waxes styrene-
butadiene copolymer) and 3
natural materials (fats, hevea brasiliensis milk, and water.)
You spend about 1/3 of your year in bed, so it’s important to know what you’re
sleeping on.

The Talalay Global Latex Foam Company
Founded over 35 years ago, Talalay Global is the largest producer ofTalalayin
the world and the only manufacturer in the United States. Our Talalay is used in
millions of the finest mattresses, pillows and toppers around the globe.
Talalay Global was literally started in the basement of a local VFW in
Connecticut by two friends who worked together and lost their jobs following a
devastating factory fire. With grit, determination, and a lot of support from
their families and community, their facility soon grew to 15,000 square feet and
produced its first latex pillow within two years. After 18 years of success, the
company reinvested and rebuilt the worlds’ finest, state-of-the-art facility in
Shelton, Connecticut where all of ourTalalayis
produced today.
Talalay Global is based on a very simple concept. MakeTalalay
latexproducts that provide the best sleep experience in
the world. Every one of our employees know that they are changing lives, one
story at a time. Every day, our company philosophy is supported by our actions.
We are driven by high quality standards and we stand behind every product we
produce; we never settle for anything less than the best.
Once you have slept on aTalalay latex mattress,
you won’t have to take our word for how superior the product is. You will
forever be a believer because it will be the most uplifting sleep experience you
have ever had!
“Our entire organization
has been designed to foster ingenuity and creativity from initial product
development to finished product and partner support. We are leading the
advancement of Talalay latex bedding products through the development of
innovative Talalay Global formulations, product designs and partner training.
Talalay Global puts the power of transparent information in the hands of
consumers so they can make informed purchasing decisions. Helping people
understand the many differences within the Talalay latex world, from cost and
quality to sleep benefits, will clarify the “muddy” waters of available latex
information and allow consumers to make their best decisions for themselves.”
Our products are manufactured with pride being made in the USA
Latex Mattresses
All of our TALALAY products are made with Natural TALALAY Latex Rubber, which
starts as sap from the Havea brasiliensis tree. These rubber trees have a 25
year productive life and a strong positive effect on the environment as they
quickly absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and help reduce greenhouse
emissions.
Our TALALAY process features natural, biodegradable ingredients that come from
renewable resources and water-based raw materials: natural Latex, air, and
water. Our process does not use solvents and does not damage the ozone layer.
Our clean and green approach carries through to our end products: TALALAY Latex
contains no toxic chemicals while standard Poly Foam and Memory Foam (visco) can
contain as many as seven toxic chemicals.*
OEKO-TEX CERTIFIED
The
Oeko-Tex Standard 100 (link to oeko website) is the leading global testing and
certification process that ensures textile materials and home furnishing
products do not contain harmful substances or pose a health risk to consumers.
Very few Latex or foam producers in the world meet the standards of this
independent, third-party certification.
All Latex International TALALAY Latex products are certified OEKO-TEX Class 100;
the healthiest classification.
This means that our products do not contain allergenic materials that form
carcinogenic arylamines of the MAK-groups III A1 and III A2 (see the Oeko-Tex
website for a list of chemicals included in these groups,link to oeko),
pesticides and chlorinated phenoles, heavy metals or formaldehyde. Our TALALAY
also meets the standard for skin friendly pH and is free from chloro-organic
carriers and biologically active finishes.
In other words, Latex International TALALAY is the healthiest material you can
sleep on!
PRESSURE MAPPING
Latex International (LI) TALALAY Latex provides 33% more Pressure Relief than
leading Memory foam.
Pressure mapping tests the amount of pressure your body registers on a selected
surface. This technology is widely used throughout the bedding industry to
determine the quantity of pressure that a mattress or pillow creates on your
body.
Pressure from your mattress and/or pillow prevents your muscles from relaxing
which makes it difficult to fall asleep and impairs circulation causing you to
toss - turn which makes it difficult to stay asleep.
Therefore, the less pressure your mattress and pillow produce on your body the
easier it is to fall asleep and the more complete sleep you achieve throughout
the night which leads to more energetic and productive days.
DURABILITY
Latex International TALALAY Latex is 4x more durable than other Latex and 20x
more durable than traditional bedding foams.
At Latex International, we continually ensure that our formulas will last the
test of time. Using the standardized ASTM Cornell Indentation test we prove that
our TALALAY outlasts any other material used for bedding today.
This is the most rigorous and material damaging ASTM standardized test that
exists for bedding components. While Latex International TALALAY performs
flawlessly over a period of 12 hours representing decades of use, other Latex's
break down much more quickly and foams such as memory foam and polyurethane foam
actually tear apart within minutes.
The strength of our material allows LI to match any warranty that retail stores
choose to offer on their products and assures maximum value for consumers.
BREATHABILITY
Latex International TALALAY Latex breathes up to 7x better than other Latex or
foams for cooler sleep.
One of the fastest growing concerns with bedding today is sleeping hot. This is
a legitimate concern because not only is it uncomfortable, sleeping too hot
interrupts the quality of our sleep as we continuously move to find a cooler
spot. This can occur from both mattresses and pillows.
The heightened awareness of sleeping hot is primarily due to increased use of
Memory Foam in mattresses. Memory Foam has a collapsible cell structure that
traps body heat and radiates it back at us resulting in uncomfortable
perspiration.
TALALAY Latex is sometimes confused with Memory Foam because of extensive Memory
Foam advertising. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The TALALAY Latex
rubber cell structure resists collapsing and allows air to circulate. This
breathability whisks away our body heat preventing mattresses and pillows from
becoming an oven.
Latex International has gone one step further and developed TALALAY GL which is
a unique formulation of TALALAY Latex with special phase change properties.
TALALAY GL actually helps regulate the consistency of body temperature for a
temperature neutral sleeping experience.
BEDDING ALLERGENS
- Mold, Mildew, Bacteria - Dust Mites
- LI TALALAY Latex is Mold, Mildew - Bacteria proof and Dust Mite resistant
Most people don't consider their mattress as a contributing source for
respiratory problems and allergic reactions. We think of our bed as a "safe
haven". The reality can be much more yucky.
Mold, mildew, bacteria and dust mites love our beds - pillows. We shed millions
of microscopic skin cells and perspire nearly 1 pint of water every night. The
microscopic skin cells and water vapor fall through the weave of our linens and
mattress cover landing on the cushioning layers below where they become a food
and water source for mold, mildew, bacteria and dust mites - it can't be
avoided, and it's gross.
Whether your "landing pad" cushion layer is hospitable to these infestations is
the controlling factor to the amount of hazardous dust created from your
mattress - pillow.
Foams such as Memory Foam - Polyurethane Foam are environments where these
contaminants thrive, so if they compose the top cushion layers of your mattress
you may have a problem.
Independent testing shows that Latex International TALALAY Latex is mold, mildew
- bacteria proof- these organisms simply won't grow on it. Furthermore, itand
dust mite resistant so these critters will prefer to be elsewhere, not right
next to your face as you sleep.
TOXIN FREE
Try to find a healthier bedding material, we dare you.
In a perfect world all bedding products would be as safe as Latex
International's TALALAY Latex. The reality is that todayand technology for
producing foams like Memory Foam or Polyurethane Foam simply aren't.
Todayand foams may contain any or all of the following, each are known
carcinogens.
Tetrachhloroethane
Acetone
Dimethylformamide
Methyl Benzene(tolunlene)
Methyl Dianiline
Tolune-diisocynanate
Vinilideine Chloride
Latex International TALALAY Latex contains none of these.
Latex ALLERGENS
Zero cases of allergic reactions to LI products have been reported.
Latex International has been making TALALAY pillows and mattress components for
over 35 years. Every year millions of products are sold using Latex
International TALALAY.
The FDA tracks allergic reactions to Latex products in the USA. Not once has
there been a report of an allergic reaction attributed to any of our TALALAY
products.
CONSISTENCY TESTING: MATTRESSES - PILLOW
Latex
International is the only Latex producer that tests every block of mattress
material in 9 separate areas to insure consistency throughout each piece. This
means that retailers and consumers can be sure that products delivered or
brought home will match the products experienced in the showroom every single
time.
Because pillows are not able to be measured in the same way as block mattress
material, we electronically weigh and then hand inspect every pillow for quality
and consistency. This is an extra time consuming step in our process,but
it is the only way to be completely sure that consumers receive the very highest
quality pillows every single time.
