right bed can be extremely difficult. There are so many choices and finding a
mattress that you can continually be challenging to say the least. Thankfully
there are bedding companies, like Brooklyn Bedding who want you to find the
best mattress. So if you are looking at purchasing your first mattress, or
replacing an old one, you should consider getting an All Natural Latex
mattress.
So what exactly is an All Natural
latex mattress? This means that the mattress is made up of one hundred percent
latex and is chemical free. It also contains no synthetic materials like
Styrene Butadiene Rubber, which is also known as SBR. Instead of using
chemicals the mattress is made using the liquid from Rubber trees. This liquid
is used to create the latex for the mattress. The liquid is gathered by
‘tapping’ the trees. ‘Tapping’ refers to making cuts in the rubber tree and
catching the liquid that comes out. This process means that absolutely no
chemicals or synthetic materials to be added during the process.
There are two ways that this type of latex mattress is
manufactured. The first way is through a method known as the “Dunlop” process.
This particular process had been used since the early 1900s. The sap from the
Rubber tree is whipped into a froth. It is then poured into a mold, covered,
and steam baked. The sediments from the mold move to the bottom of the mixture
which causes mattresses made with the Dunlop process to be firmer on that side
of the mattress.
The other way to make an All Natural latex mattress is
through a process called the Talalay process. This particular process takes it
a step beyond the Dunlop process. After the sap is poured it is sealed and
placed in a vacuum. It is then flash frozen before it is baked. Because the
Talalay process uses the flash freezing technique, it allows for a more consistent
cell structure within the mattress. The flash freezing and other step also
causes latex mattresses made using this process to be more expensive. Mattresses
made using the Talalay process usually are softer. This means that if you
prefer a pillow surface to sleep on you will definitely want to go with a
Talalay made process.
Those mattresses made using the Dunlop process are typically
firmer. This is because the material in the mattress is denser than the
material in mattresses made using the Talalay process. Mattresses made using
the Dunlop process also tend to be more durable. This can be a good thing if
you have children who just love to jump on their beds. The good news is that no
matter what process is being used, your All Natural latex mattress is sure to
be comfortable. It just depends on whether you prefer a softer or firmer type
of mattress.
