Latexpedic® Mattresses start out as a Seed; (Originally only native to the Amazon Rainforest) When grown the tree is tapped like maple syrup, where a white, milky substance is tapped.
The
Latex is exported to the USA and made into

durability Available in: Soft, Regular Firm, Extra Firm and
Ultra Firm 20-Year Warranty Completely Reversible Quilted on Both Sides 100% Pure Talalay Latex Handles or Zippered Cover |
Latex is defined as: Any of several natural or synthetic colloidal polymers suspended in an aqueous solution. |
Basically: rubber particles in water |
What is NATURAL Latex? |
Natural
Latex is a milky substance harvested from rubber tree plants (Havea
brasiliensis) which are grown in tropical climate plantations around the
world. Most are located in Africa, Malaysia, South America, and
Indonesia. Natural Latex is bio-degradable and naturally resistant to
mold, mildew & bacteria. Harvesting the liquid Latex is similar to tapping trees for maple syrup. The trees are not harmed, providing a sustainable resource. The Latex is collected in buckets and shipped to large rubber factories such as B.F Goodrich, Dupont, etc. for processing. Natural liquid Latex is a commodity that and publicly traded in stock markets around the world similar to corn, pork bellies, orange juice etc. |
What is SYNTHETIC Latex? |
Synthetic Latex is a
man-made molecular copy of natural Latex. The scientific name for this
compound is Styrene-Butadiene (SBR). Styrene is named for "styrax", the resin from a Turkish tree. Low levels of styrene occur naturally in many kinds of plants as well as a variety of foods such as fruits, vegetables & nuts. Butadiene is produced by dehydration of butane obtained from petroleum. Butadiene is also used in the manufacture of Latex paints and nylon fibers used in rope and clothing. |
WHAT IS BLENDED Latex? |
Blended Latex is just what it sounds like, a combination of Natural Latex and Synthetic Latex mixed together. |
WHICH Latex IS BEST FOR ME? |
This is a question thatand answer can depend on your perspective. All Latex formulas offer numerous benefits to consumers that far outweigh the benefits of conventional foam bedding materials. Keep in mind that while Latex formulations are contrasted with each other below, all Latex rubber significantly outperforms foams such as memory foam or traditional polyurethane foam for durability, pressure relief and sleep benefits. |
Natural Latex, as its name implies, is "natural" which offers many benefits for use in sleep products. Consumers that have an organic lifestyle and have made numerous changes to remove most synthetic chemicals from their household tend to purchase 100% natural formulations. The elasticity, healthiness, and ability of Natural Latex to conform to your body, reducing pressure on your muscles and circulation is unsurpassed. The resulting benefits and luxurious comfort simply can't be matched by synthetic Latex. However, because it is a "natural" product there are inconsistencies at the molecular level which cause Natural Latex products to wear at a faster rate than Synthetic Latex. |
Synthetic Latex Review |
Synthetic Latex is extremely uniform at the molecular level, so sleep products will have greater durability than those made solely with Natural Latex. However, what you gain in durability you lose in feel and sleep benefits as compared to Natural Latex. |
Blended Latex |
When consumers want to know a product is
natural and good for the environment while also looking for a
product that will help them sleep better with optimum value for
their money- they purchase blended Latex. By combining Natural and
Synthetic Latex together you get the best of both worlds. Natural
components, elasticity, conformity, health benefits and luxurious
feel from Natural Latex combine with extended durability from
Synthetic Latex- to make a product that the Earth provided and we
perfected.
Blended Latex can be compared to a gold wedding band. No one has a 24 carrot(100% gold) wedding band because it would be too soft and bend if gripped too hard. The solution is an 18 carrot gold ring where the gold is mixed with another, more durable metal. The result is a ring that has the look and feel of pure gold but is less vulnerable to damage or wear. Latex Manufacturing Processes
The terms "Talalay" and "Dunlop" refer to the two different methods
of manufacturing Latex Rubber for sleep products. The Dunlop process
was developed in 1929. It was the first method used to produce Latex
material for bedding.
As technology progressed, the Talalay process was developed by the Talalay family during World War II. The Talalay process for producing Latex is significantly more complex and costly, resulting in softer, more buoyant and luxurious finished products. Making Latex - Latex Formulas
Both Talalay and Dunlop processes
start with a formula mixture of liquid Latex. These formulas can be
any of the following:
