March 19, 2010, Newsletter Issue #184: Should I go with 100% Natural Latex or Talalay Latex?

Tip of the Week

So your mind is made-up. You know you want to go with latex foam for a mattress topper because it is a natural, renewable resource and provides resistance to mold, mildew and allergies. But the question remains, should you opt for 100% natural latex in your latex mattress topper, or for Talalay Latex, which is only 70% natural? The answer lies in two factors. The first: do you need the 100% natural latex for personal reasons, such as having an interest in removing all synthetic material from your bedding area? The second: do you have a firmness preference that can only be addressed by Talalay latex? Talalay tends to be available in more firmness variations including soft and medium soft. 100% Natural Latex tends to be a bit harder in this regard. So if you prefer a softer latex mattress topper, then Talalay would be an advisable choice.
