Trouble is this natural processed product tends to be much more expensive. Talalay is much more consistent in its density than Dunlop processed as well as the antimicrobial properties you allude to.

(made of rubber tree sap, foamed, placed in the special centrifuge, then flash frozen) The only other chemical, unless they're block foams in the base of the latex mattress, is a small amount of foaming agent. Where-as memory foam will always have urethane foam in it. Some people are hyper-sensitive to urethane foams, and if it is not properly ventilated can make people feel sick. If you love the memory foam feel, I would really recommend miForma however, because of how they compress and suction the gas out of their beds. There is no off-gassing as there is with Tempurpedic, or other memory foam companies.

We offered Natura natural latex products in the past, but was not successful with them because they were expensive. They have a little better prices, so If they have similiar or better quality products to Natura at those prices I would consider buying a bed from them if I were not in the industry myself. “Devin, thanks for continuing the conversation to clarify everything.
