THE TALALAY PROCESSStep 1: CompoundingCombination of liquid latex, soaps and rubber curing agents are mixed together in a temperature controlled, stainless steel tank to create a batter. Step 2: MoldingThe batter is transferred to the pressroom where it is whipped into a froth and injected into an aluminum pincore mold. The pins create the unique aerated cell structure of our latex. The mold is sealed and a vacuum is pulled to extract air and completely fill the mold cavity with foam. Step 3: Flash FreezeThe batter is frozen to a temperature of -20 degrees. Freezing is unique to the Talalay process to prevent particles from settling, ensuring a consistent cell structure. Step 4: Heated to Gel into Solid FormCO2 is added to whip the recipe into a frothy state. Temperatures exceeding 220F-degree are applied to cure the recipe as it is baked into a solid state. Step 5: CoolingThe solid latex is cooled and removed from the mold. Step 6: Fresh water rinse for purityThe latex mattress core is removed from the mold and placed on a conveyer belt that brings it through a five-stage fresh water washer, which removes latex proteins, residual soaps and curing agents. The multi-stage fresh water rinse is also unique to the Talalay process. Step 7: Curing ProcessThe mattress is transported to a two-lane dryer, which completes the curing process and removes residual moisture. Step 8: Quality Testing – Only the best pass the test!Once dry, EVERY mattress undergoes a nine-point firmness consistency test and infrared technology scan to ensure they meet our stringent quality standards.

Latex as found in nature is a milky fluid found in 10% of all
flowering plants. In most plants, latex is white. Since
the 17th century, latex has been used as a term for the fluid
substance in plants. Originally, the name given to latex by
indigenous Equator tribes who cultivated the plant was "caoutchouc",
from the words "caa" (tear) and "ochu" (tree), because of the way it
is collected. ehe major commercial source of natural rubber latex is
the Pará rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. This species is preferred
because it grows well under cultivation. A properly managed tree
responds to wounding by producing more latex for several years.
Currently, rubber is harvested mainly in the form of the latex from the rubber tree. The latex is a sticky, milky colloid drawn off by making incisions in the bark and collecting the fluid in vessels in a process called "tapping". The latex then is refined into rubber ready for commercial processing. In major areas, latex is allowed to coagulate in the collection cup. The coagulated lumps are collected and processed into dry forms for marketing.
The natural rubber tree takes between seven and ten years to deliver the first harvest. Harvesters make incisions across the latex vessels, just deep enough to tap the vessels without harming the tree's growth, and the latex is collected in small buckets. This process is known as rubber tapping. |
