Talalay latex - natural & eco-friendly
Talalay latex is a natural latex produced through a process that makes it a hypoallergenic and durable material that wicks away both moisture and heat. Talalay latex is used in pillows, bed mattresses and is unique in its soft, elastic and stable properties.
What is latex?
There are two main types of latex: natural latex and synthetic latex. Natural latex is extracted directly from the sap of the rubber tree. It is a hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly and sustainable material.
Synthetic latex, on the other hand, is made from a material that mimics the properties of natural latex - it is cheaper, but lacks other benefits.
Natural latex
Natural latex is a natural material that is 100% biodegradable and environmentally friendly. It has a natural elasticity and adapts to the contours of the body. It is completely free of harmful chemicals and therefore a hypoallergenic choice that is good for both people and the environment.
Talalay-latex
Unlike other natural latex, Talalay latex has an open cell structure that allows air to circulate freely through the material. It molds to the body and provides good support for the neck, shoulders and back while being softer and more pliable than, for example, Dunlop latex.
It also creates a better breathability than synthetic foams, such as memory foam, which tend to get hot during the night. A moldable pillow can help you sleep in a good position, but if it is warm, it does nothing to improve the quality of your sleep.
Sleep quality is as important as the position you sleep in. How well you sleep has an impact on your overall health - taking care of your sleep health is performance-enhancing and a worthwhile investment in your quality of life.
A Talalay pillow molds to the shape of the head and neck to reduce stress on the cervical vertebrae and relieve back and neck pain. Many materials lose their shape after a couple of years, but Talalay retains its function for up to 20 years or longer.
