About Latex

Derived from the hevea brasiliensis, or rubber tree, latex has natural qualities that simply make it the perfect material for Organic Mattresses and our Orignal Latex Mattresses.

100% Talalay Latex provides the best comfort and support for your individual sleep needs AND consumer peace-of-mind. Good for you...good for our environment!

Milk of the Rubber Tree in every FloBeds Latex Mattress

Produced using no fillers, petro-chemicals or shortcuts, our 100% Natural Latex Rubber components are made by Latex International with the Talalay process.

Latex is naturally hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial (Bacteria, mold and mildew cannot live in latex) and dust mite resistant (tests prove latex is 3 times more resistant to dust mites than a traditional mattress) making it the perfect mattress material for allergy sufferers or anyone interested in breathing fresh, clean air while they sleep.

FloBeds 100% Natural Latex is biodegradable and Oekotex Certified (Europe’s highest environmental consumer product standard) to be free of harmful substances or chemicals).

Choose from 100% Natural Latex or Blended Latex (30% Natural Latex + 70% Synthetic Latex), both processed using the Talalay method.

Every Talalay Core takes almost 5 hours to make, compared to 2 hours for a Dunlop processed core...but the Talalay latex is so much better, well worth the wait!
