The first thing to be aware of is that Talalay Latex is utilized by mattress manufacturers in three distinct ways.
There are three options available to get the uplifting benefits of LI Talalay Latex:
Talalay Latex Mattress: The GOLD standard. These beds are built using Talalay Latex for pressure the relief layer(s) in the top of the mattress and firmer Talalay Latex for the support layer(s) below. There are no other materials between the latex and your body. This construction provides for deepest muscle relaxation with maximum dynamic support.
Talalay Latex Hybrid Mattress: These bed design use at least three inches of Talalay Latex in the very top pressure relief layer against your body. Other foam based pressure relief layers might also be included below the latex. Hybrid designs utilize a non-Talalay Latex support system or layer below. Common support materials include metal coils, polyurethane foam or Dunlop latex. These beds provide many but not all Talalay Latex benefits and can be less costly than a full Talalay Latex Mattress.
Beds with Talalay Latex: Some mattresses use less than 3 inches of Talalay Latex and/or create their pressure relieving layer with memory foam/polyurethane foam on top of the Talalay Latex. While these may be high quality mattresses your Talalay Latex experience will be diluted. The more Talalay Latex is covered with foam or fiber, the less benefit you receive.
To get maximum uplifting benefits from Talalay Latex, it needs to be in direct contact with your body. Conventional mattresses frequently have very thick pressure relief layers or “pillow tops” filled with polyester fiber and/or foam. Think about it, Latex is the highest quality ingredient you can have in any mattress. Why would you place inferior layers on top of it? That would be like putting ketchup on your steak.
Talalay latex mattresses have a light, buoyant feel that gently lifts your body, to relax your muscles and relieving tension. It instantly responds to the shape of your body relieving pressure 33% better then memory foam while offering perfectly calibrated support. It is naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, mold & mildew proof and dust mite resistant, making it one of the healthiest sleep materials in the world. Sound interesting? Read on to learn more...

Where do you carry muscle tension? In your back? Your shoulders? Your neck? Our bodies have three times as many muscles as bones. When selecting a mattress, relaxing muscles and relieving tension are the most important contributors to a good nights’ sleep. Everyday stress, poor posture, or sleeping on an ordinary mattress can aggravate muscle tension, leaving you tired and sore. The pressure-free feel of Talalay Latex relieves tension by completely relaxing your muscles so you sleep better.
Talalay latex is derived from natural material that is inherently hypoallergenic, dust-mite resistant, and breathable, making it ideal for allergy sufferers or anyone wanting a cleaner sleep environment. Memory foam and polyurethane foams use chemicals such as acetone and Methyl benzene in the manufacturing process and are not inherently resistant to dust-mites, mold, or microbes.
