Our
Talalay process is a highly controlled, sophisticated latex
manufacturing process that produces the highest quality, most
consistent latex available in the world. An alternative technology,
known as the Dunlop process, is the most commonly used production
method globally, it creates a firmer product.
|
The major difference between the
two processes is what happens in the mold just prior
to the initial latex curing stage. In the Talalay
process, only a small amount of latex compound is
poured into the mold. Air is extracted to perfectly
distribute the foamed liquid inside the mold and to
create a consistent round, open cell structure. The
mattress core is flash frozen to lock the cell
structure in place and to prevent the particles from
settling.
Talalay
Latex cost more to process than the Dunlop Latex
Process.

|
In the Dunlop process, the molds are filled to the
rim, air is not extracted, and there is no freeze
stage. Therefore, the latex cell structure is less
“airy”. Gravity takes over settling the particles to
create a more dense product than Talalay latex.
Talalay latex is available in a much wider firmness
range so it can provide enhanced comfort choice for
consumers around the globe.
