Latex INTL - How Latex is Used Today

Latex Bedding Today

So, you’ve done your homework and are interested in the unique benefits that LI Talalay Latex provides, but how do you start your mattress search?

The first thing to be aware of is that Talalay Latex is utilized by mattress manufacturers in three distinct ways.

Talalay Latex in Mattresses

There are three options available to get the uplifting benefits of LI Talalay Latex:

Talalay Latex Mattress: The GOLD standard. These beds are built using Talalay Latex for pressure the relief layer(s) in the top of the mattress and firmer Talalay Latex for the support layer(s) below. There are no other materials between the latex and your body. This construction provides for deepest muscle relaxation with maximum dynamic support.

Talalay Latex Hybrid Mattress: These bed design use at least three inches of Talalay Latex in the very top pressure relief layer against your body. Other foam based pressure relief layers might also be included below the latex. Hybrid designs utilize a non-Talalay Latex support system or layer below. Common support materials include metal coils, polyurethane foam or Dunlop latex. These beds provide many but not all Talalay Latex benefits and can be less costly than a full Talalay Latex Mattress.

Beds with Talalay Latex: Some mattresses use less than 3 inches of Talalay Latex and/or create their pressure relieving layer with memory foam/polyurethane foam on top of the Talalay Latex. While these may be high quality mattresses your Talalay Latex experience will be diluted. The more Talalay Latex is covered with foam or fiber, the less benefit you receive.

No Fluff

To get maximum uplifting benefits from Talalay Latex, it needs to be in direct contact with your body. Conventional mattresses frequently have very thick pressure relief layers or “pillow tops” filled with polyester fiber and/or foam. Think about it, Latex is the highest quality ingredient you can have in any mattress. Why would you place inferior layers on top of it? That would be like putting ketchup on your steak.

The Uplifting Feel That Delights.. and Delivers

Talalay latex mattresses have a light, buoyant feel that gently lifts your body, to relax your muscles and relieving tension. It instantly responds to the shape of your body relieving pressure 33% better then memory foam while offering perfectly calibrated support. It is naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, mold & mildew proof and dust mite resistant, making it one of the healthiest sleep materials in the world. Sound interesting? Read on to learn more...

Spinal Alignment

Relaxing Muscles to Relieve Tension

Where do you carry muscle tension? In your back? Your shoulders? Your neck? Our bodies have three times as many muscles as bones. When selecting a mattress, relaxing muscles and relieving tension are the most important contributors to a good nights’ sleep. Everyday stress, poor posture, or sleeping on an ordinary mattress can aggravate muscle tension, leaving you tired and sore. The pressure-free feel of Talalay Latex relieves tension by completely relaxing your muscles so you sleep better.

Naturally Healthy

Talalay latex is derived from natural material that is inherently hypoallergenic, dust-mite resistant, and breathable, making it ideal for allergy sufferers or anyone wanting a cleaner sleep environment. Memory foam and polyurethane foams use chemicals such as acetone and Methyl benzene in the manufacturing process and are not inherently resistant to dust-mites, mold, or microbes.

Made in the Good Ol' US of A

If you read the law tag attached on any bed you’re considering, it will list the materials and their origin. Our Talalay Latex is the only one made in the USA. We never use any fillers or additives as they degrade the feel, durability and benefits of the finished product.

Ask the Right Questions

Retail sales people should be able to provide details of what materials are inside any particular mattress. Most people only buy a bed every decade. This purchase is a long term investment in your health. Following the basic guidelines above, will ensure years of enjoyment and uplifting comfort.

Aking your Existing Bed Even Better

A Talalay Latex mattress topper can upgrade your current bed or customize the feel of any new mattress. A Talalay Latex mattress topper ensures that you sleep directly on Talalay Latex delivering you the most benefit, plus you can take it anywhere.

Don't Forget the Pillow

Many people don’t consider pillows when looking for a new mattress. The reality is that your pillow can change how your mattress performs for good or bad. Your pillow covers 20% of the sleep area you use on a mattress.

Don’t skimp on your pillow! Providing maximum pressure relief and support for your neck is vital. It opens the central nervous system allowing necessary messages to be sent from brain to body for healing & repair while sleeping.
