All reputable manufacturers and retailers should happily provide you the results of these tests. If not, you should question the quality of the latex. The LGA’s rigorous testing features a 60,000 roller stroke test, simulating 10 years of normal use. A score out of 100 indicates the results of this test. Dawn Latex Mattresses score 100 on this test, for a 85 kg/m3 sample which is the highest point score possible for any natural latex. Its important to know the density of the sample, the higher the density the more durable, but there is no value in having a high point score result on a density that is so hard that you cant sleep on it! Some other manufacturers do just that, so make sure you qualify the density of the sample tested. A good density range for sleeping and therefore testing is about 75-85 kg/m3. When our recommendations and instructions are followed, our mattresses are guaranteed to not compress, lose their resilience or sag for 20 years.

All of our latex mattresses are made from 100% Natural Latex Polymers which constitute 97% of the total ingredients, the highest amount possible without compromising quality. There is 3% zinc oxide, commonly know as Ash which is the major converting agent used to transform the liquid latex polymer into Natural Latex foam.

What is Latex?

Latex is a mixture of organic compounds commonly extracted from rubber tree plants. It can be defined as the dispersion of natural polymer micro particles that are submerged in an aqueous medium (a liquid). So what does all that mean? Basically, it is a type of rubber particle placed in water. Natural latex is best described as a milky fluid which is extracted from the Rubber Trees, mainly those found in tropical climates and regions. It is also commonly known as the fluid substance that comes from plants, however it is somewhat different to sap.

Natural Latex

Natural latex has many benefits, including being biodegradable and highly resistant to bacteria, mildew and even mould. During the extraction of natural latex, no trees are harmed, which makes it a great Eco resource. The harvest is sent off to large rubber factories that engage in the creation of latex products, such as latex mattresses.

Synthetic Latex

Synthetic latex, on the other hand, is man made, and includes materials such as styrene-butadiene rubber, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, acrylic polymers and polyvinyl acetate. It can also include petrol chemicals that outgas and may cause a somewhat unpleasant smell. Due to this, some people might prefer natural latex. Low levels of synthetic latex can be found in multiple plants and foods.

Combined Latex

Combined or blended latex is a mixture of natural and synthetic latex, often branded as natural latex, which can be misleading and the down side is that it can have premature collapsing and chemical off gassing problems.
How is Latex made?

So how is natural latex produced?

There are actually two different processes that can be used to create and produce latex materials and latex mattresses. These processes are known as the Talalay process and the Dunlop process.

The Talalay process mixes the tree sap, or rubber polymer, with Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and places the combined mixture into a mould that is then frozen. It is thereafter vulcanized and stabilized with the use of the open steam system. At this stage the latex is removed, washed, and dried out.

On the other hand, the Dunlop process works to develop latex in a similar manner, however the initial mixture is not frozen, but rather heated in an oven. This process, allows the latex to remain 100% natural with no compromise to the integrity of the natural latex. Generally this process will produce higher quality and more durable latex.
