Talalay Process | Latex Mattress

Latex as found in nature is a milky fluid found in 10% of all flowering plants. In most plants, latex is white. Since the 17th century, latex has been used as a term for the fluid substance in plants. Originally, the name given to latex by indigenous Equator tribes who cultivated the plant was "caoutchouc", from the words "caa" (tear) and "ochu" (tree), because of the way it is collected. ehe major commercial source of natural rubber latex is the Pará rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. This species is preferred because it grows well under cultivation. A properly managed tree responds to wounding by producing more latex for several years.

Currently, rubber is harvested mainly in the form of the latex from the rubber tree. The latex is a sticky, milky colloid drawn off by making incisions in the bark and collecting the fluid in vessels in a process called "tapping". The latex then is refined into rubber ready for commercial processing. In major areas, latex is allowed to coagulate in the collection cup. The coagulated lumps are collected and processed into dry forms for marketing.

^{The natural rubber tree takes between seven and ten years to deliver the
first harvest.}^{Harvesters
make incisions across the latex vessels, just deep enough to tap the
vessels without harming the tree's growth, and the latex is collected in
small buckets. This process is known as rubber tapping.}

Talalay Latex is Healthy By Design It is naturally breathable so it dissipates body heat It is naturally mold and mildew resistant so it may help your sneezing and wheezing It is naturally dust mite resistant if you have asthma It is inherently antibacterial and antifungal It is naturally hypoallergenic so it doesn’t off-gas It is naturally motion isolating so you will feel less of your partners movement
THE TALALAY PROCESS Step 1: Compounding Combination of liquid latex, soaps and rubber curing agents are mixed together in a temperature controlled, stainless steel tank to create a batter. Step 2: Molding The batter is transferred to the pressroom where it is whipped into a froth and injected into an aluminum pincore mold. The pins create the unique aerated cell structure of our latex. The mold is sealed and a vacuum is pulled to extract air and completely fill the mold cavity with foam. Step 3: Flash Freeze The batter is frozen to a temperature of -20 degrees. Freezing is unique to the Talalay process to prevent particles from settling, ensuring a consistent cell structure. Step 4: Heated to Gel into Solid Form CO2 is added to whip the recipe into a frothy state. Temperatures exceeding 220F-degree are applied to cure the recipe as it is baked into a solid state. Step 5: Cooling The solid latex is cooled and removed from the mold. Step 6: Fresh water rinse for purity The latex mattress core is removed from the mold and placed on a conveyer belt that brings it through a five-stage fresh water washer, which removes latex proteins, residual soaps and curing agents. The multi-stage fresh water rinse is also unique to the Talalay process. Step 7: Curing Process The mattress is transported to a two-lane dryer, which completes the curing process and removes residual moisture. Step 8: Quality Testing – Only the best pass the test! Once dry, EVERY mattress undergoes a nine-point firmness consistency test and infrared technology scan to ensure they meet our stringent quality standards.
