Our Latex Pillows
The main ingredient of latex pillows is a natural polymer called latex. Latex is derived from specific plants and trees, however it can also be synthetic.
To use latex as a pillow filling, it has to be foamed to create a matrix of tiny inter-connected bubbles that give it bounce and spring. Latex pillows are very reactive to pressure, and has an instant bounce-back, unlike memory foam pillows. Latex pillows are an indirect competitor of memory foam pillows, because the latex pillows offer different properties and a different experience than memory foam pillows.
One example of the different experiences, is that latex pillows have a better moisture and heat dissipation properties than memory foam pillows. Because of that, latex pillows are a good solution to allergy sufferers, because it eliminates dust mites.
Talalay Latex Mattress Topper
Latex is a great material for mattress toppers. The sap is extracted with care and expertise from the rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis). Talalay Latex is definitely the healthiest choice due to its natural properties, as opposed to many non-latex mattresses. The latter contain petroleum based foams, may release toxic chemicals as they age. Talalay latex is naturally cooling, whereas non-latex mattress toppers have to add an additional chemical ingredient to try to keep cool. Enjoy a healthy sleep!
Talalay refers to the name Joseph Talalay, who invented the Talalay production process. The latex mixture is filled with air, injected in a mould and expanded through a vacuum before being flash frozen at -30°C (-(22°F), which enables the round, open cells to retain their shape. Then the material is baked or “vulcanised” at 115°C (235°F). Finally the latex block is washed, dried and then tested for quality control.
