There are two different methods for making a latex mattress – the Dunlop method and the Talalay Method. In this blog I am going to talk about the Dunlop method.
The Dunlop method is the original and longest (in terms of how long it has been used) method of making latex. It is used primarily for making natural latex. (The Talalay method is mostly used for making synthetic latex, but can be used to make natural latex too.)

Looking to make your life more green, organic, and botanical? Thinking about starting where you spend one-third of your life – in bed.

Looking for comfortable sleep that is also 100% all natural? Then check out a 100% all-natural latex mattress. A 100% all-natural latex mattress is completely botanical and natural and is hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and dust mite-free.
When looking for completely natural and green sleep, you must be careful though. “Buyer beware” is very important when looking for a 100% all-natural latex mattress. This is because many companies will call their mattress “natural” latex when, in reality, there is just a small amount of natural latex in the mattress and the rest or part of it is made with synthetic or artificial latex.

I see this question quite a bit on the web. Should you choose a natural latex mattress or a memory foam mattress? It’s the biggest question since Ginger or MaryAnne or Freddy versus Jason. The problem with the memory foam mattress versus natural latex mattress question is that the only one who can answer it is you. It’s just like Ginger or MaryAnne – both are great, it’s just a matter of preference. (Freddy versus Jason can have an actual winner, but who knows who that would really be?)
