Latex Foam Product Information

We're happy to be able to provide you with information about various latex foam products.

Latex itself has been around for many years but it’s only in the past several that the benefits of latex foam products have become well known.  As people learned more about both the health and comfort benefits of these products, more and more of them have been making their way into consumer’s homes.

Benefits of Latex Foam Products

1. They’re naturally hypoallergenic. This means that allergy sufferers find great relief from latex foam products.  If you have a dust and dander allergy, imagine the relief you’d feel from being able to get a great night sleep on a mattress and pillow that don’t hold or produce dust.
2. They are anti-microbial. This means that these products inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungus, mold, mildew and other nasties that you really don’t want sharing your home.  In natural fiber products, the humidity that exists in many areas can cause a big problem.
3. They are dust-mite resistant because mites feed off of natural fibers and the latex foam products provide no source of food for the mites.  Cutting out a major part of their food source means you’ll have fewer mites to worry about.
4. The bedding products provide natural back support.  Because the Latex Foam Products moulds to fit your body rather than the other way around they allow you to sleep in a more natural, aligned position which provides support to your back and other joints.

There are a variety of latex foam products on the markets these days.  The most popular products include mattresses, pillows and mattress toppers.  They can all be found in a variety of sizes, quality and price ranges to fit any budget.

Latex foam products are natural and are made from the sap of the rubber tree. 

Methods of Making Latex Foam Products

1. The Dunlop method.  In this method the rubber is whipped into a liquid into which air is incorporated.  The liquid is then poured into a mould.  The end result is your latex foam product.
2. The Talalay method.  This method is similar to the Dunlop method but they also use core pins and a vacuum while curing the rubber which results in a product with more consistent cell structure which is of higher quality.

The Talalay method is, of course, the more expensive.

So, if you’re looking to be not only more healthy but also more comfortable while you sleep, latex foam products are definitely worth looking into.
