Many reasons for buying latex bedding

How latex bedding affects your sleep

The Vita Talalay latex mattresses, latex toppers, and latex pillows are produced in the Talalay manufacturing process, with pure natural materials. These features create the unique open cell structure of the mattresses.

Ventilation, softness, and support are the main benefits of the open cell structure.

• The ventilation of the products is the key driver to keep you cool in summers and warm in winters, but it also provides resistance to bacteria and hypoallergenic features.
• The softness of the products relieves pressure and pain in your bones, joints, and muscles. It also provides optimum comfort through our custom sizes, materials, and densities.
• The support of the products adapts to your body due to its elastic characteristics. Perfect support from head to toe is provided.

Why latex bedding is healthy

Why is latex bedding considered healthy?

One of the main unique selling points of natural latex bedding is that it is very safe and healthy to sleep on. Most non-latex beddings contain petroleum based foams, which release toxic chemicals as they age.

Another selling point of latex bedding is that latex is naturally fire resistant. Other bedding types contain added chemicals to increase the resistance to fire. These chemicals are associated with cancer, immunotoxicity, and reproductive toxicity.

The hypoallergenic feature of latex bedding is an important quality. It repels dust mites, bacteria, and fungus, while it simultaneously is resistant to mold. Non-latex beddings, on the other hand, are a very hospitable environment for these creatures.

Pain prevention and relief are an attribute of latex bedding. It has better firmness, conformability, and support, according to the reviews from customers.

Why latex bedding is green

Why is latex bedding considered green?

An advantage of latex bedding, is that it is eco-friendly. Raw materials are harvested from the plantations in a tree-friendly way. By using this tree-friendly method, rubber trees will continue living and growing for as long as 30 years. Trees won’t have to be cut down for harvesting, and will purify air and water as long as it lives.

Organic latex is produced by replacing synthetic and artificially-produced fertilizers by organic fertilizers. This way the plants will only have natural nutrition. Also, the production of these artificial and synthetic fertilizers have horrible impacts on the environment.

Only a few chemicals are needed to create natural latex bedding. None of those chemicals are a source of pollution or concern. Latex itself is also a biodegradable and durable material, which reduce the consumption and waste.

Talalay latex vs. Dunlop latex

Talalay and Dunlop are both manufacturing processes to produce latex mattresses, latex toppers, and latex pillows. However, these two processes are very different. The Talalay manufacturing process has 9 steps and it takes 9 hours per piece to complete. On the other hand, the Dunlop manufacturing process has 5 steps and it takes just 40 minutes to complete per piece.

Features of Talalay latex

• No fillers
• Highest safety in the market

• Not so durable

The manufacturing process of Talalay is:

1 Mixing the pure raw materials and pump with air.

2 Filling the mould 30%-60% with the latex mixture.

3 Vacuuming the material to form around the mould.

4 Freezing the material creates the round and open cellular structure to allow the mould to breathe.

5 Gelling fixes the round and open cells so that they remain in place.

6 Vulcanising the mixture at 115ᵒC/235ᵒF. This gives the product its shape.

7 Washing the product to increase durability and ensure the same firmness for many years.

8 Post-vulcanising the product 8 hours at 85ᵒC/185ᵒF to give the round and open cellular its final form.

9 Final quality control of the product for its firmness.

The manufacturing process of Dunlop is:

1 Mixing the pure raw materials, and sometimes pump with fillers.

2 Filling the mould 100% with the latex mixture.

3 Vulcanising the mixture at 100ᵒC/212ᵒF. This gives the product its shape.

4 Washing the product to increase durability and ensure the same firmness for many years (not always washed, and not always with clean water).

5 Final quality control of the product for its firmness.
