THE TALALAY PROCESS

Our premium latex mattresses use only the highest quality latex, made using the Talalay process. This process provides a superior cell structure, a greater range of firmness, and the highest possible uniformity, to provide ultimate comfort and support. It is the most environmentally friendly process used to produce latex. (Absolutely no fillers or shortcuts are used in process.) This process is a 60/40 blend of engineered/natural latex. It is by far the best known material for a latex mattress offering ILD's from 20 to 44.

Talalay latex is the Mercedes of latex. Our ULTRA PLUSH latex mattress offers a 5 1/2 inch solid Talalay core plus 2 more inches of soft 22 ILD Talalay latex on one side quilted to 1.5" of pure, natural Joma Wool on both sides giving you a choice in firmness depending on which side is up. Add in a beautiful cotton damask fabric and you've got, in our opinion, the finest mattress money can buy. This mattress is 9.5" thick and weighs about 170 lbs. in the king size. Sets include heavy duty Ortho Foundation which offer firm support. Don't settle for second rate Belgium latex when you can have our 100% Talalay latex.

What is the difference between Talalay latex and Dunlop process latex?

Arizona Premium Mattress Co. features the Talalay process: a highly controlled, sophisticated latex manufacturing process that produces the highest quality, most consistent latex available in the world. An alternative technology, known as the Dunlop process, is the most commonly used production method globally. It creates a firmer product that is most often used as a base core component.

The major difference between the two processes is what happens in the mold just prior to the initial latex curing stage. In the Talaly process, only a small amount of latex compound is poured into the mold. Air is extracted to perfectly distribute the foamed liquid inside the mold and to create a consistent round, open cell structure. The mattress core is flash frozen to lock the cell structure in place and to prevent the particles from settling.

In the Dunlop process, the molds are filled to the rim, air is not extracted, and there is no freeze stage. Therefore, the latex cell structure is less "airy". Gravity takes over settling the particles to create a more dense product than Talalay latex. Talalay latex beds are available in a much wider firmness range so it can provide enhanced comfort choice for consumers around the globe.
