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

Latex mattresses that are purely 100% Natural Latex such as the Nu-Lex and the natural lux are typically recommended for those individuals who have a high sensitivity to allergens or other chemical components, such as those introduced in the Talalay process.

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 bolsters the benefits of 100% natural latex by introducing synthetic materials that augment the durability and support of the foam rubber. The resulting combination, 60% synthetic and 40% natural latex, creates Talalay latex mattresses such as the premium quality Haven Mattress that can do even more to improve your rest.

Our Talalay Latex Mattress line offers plenty of customization, even for his and her sides!
