FloBeds and Talalay Global in Furniture Today
In September 2017, Furniture Today visited Talalay Global’s showroom in Shelton, Connecticut, to report on how the latex maker and FloBeds work together. Dave and Dewey Turner joined company leaders Dave and Kim Fisher for the story.
Selling Talalay Latex Online Since 1997
The article pointed out that FloBeds sold Talalay latex beds online back in 1997, long before online mattress shopping took off. By 2005, Talalay was the only latex we sold. Dewey told the magazine that customers value Talalay’s durability and comfort above anything else in the industry.
Why Talalay Global Matters to Us
Based in Shelton, the company is the only producer of Talalay latex in North America. Its multi-step process creates latex that is resilient, breathable and long-lasting. At the time, the company had just launched a campaign calling Talalay “Earth’s Most Perfect Sleep Material.” In addition, the article noted that more than half of the top 15 U.S. bedding makers offered Talalay latex.
Dave summed up our relationship simply. After two decades as a customer, he said, the company had always delivered consistent quality. For us, they remain a tremendous resource.
Our Partnership With Talalay Global Today
Nearly 30 years after we sold our first Talalay bed online, Talalay Global (see their process) still makes the natural Talalay latex in every FloBed. Their latex carries the eco-INSTITUT label and OEKO-TEX certification. As a result, you get the same consistent, durable latex our customers have trusted for decades. Moreover, because every FloBed is built from separate layers, you can replace a single layer years from now and still get a perfect match.
