Latex is the milky sap of the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. It is a complex intracellular product of a system of cells that synthesize a polymer (cis-1,4-polyisoprene), which is the main component of natural latex rubber. This natural latex rubber is produced in Africa, South Asia, South America, Indonesia and Sri Lanka, where trees are tapped for latex by cutting a spiral groove in the bark and placing a spout and collection cup at the base. This natural latex rubber is then molded into remarkable bedding products like a latex mattress, or a latex pillow. The mattress is usually distributed as either a 6" Nu-Lex or an 8" Nu-Lex or a wide variety of other products including the Carmel, Haven and Natural Lux.

A note on 100% Natural Latex

Foam Latex mattresses that are purely 100% Natural Foam Latex such as the Nu-Lex are recommended for those individuals who are interested in mattresses without any synthetic materials in the mattress or the sleeping surface.

 

Talalay Latex

Talalay Latex products are the inevitable result of an industry obsessed with creating products that offer unparalleled back support while simultaneously improving the sleep experience by removing allergens from the bedroom.

The Talalay process adds two addtional steps in the creation of latex foam by placing the frothed latex under a vaccum and then freezing the latex for a more uniform distribution of the latex.  Latex International creates both our 100% natural latex, or the blend of natural and synthetic latex used in our premium quality Haven Mattress, by using only the Talalay process.
