Talalay Latex Mattress is composed of a milky rubber liquid, whipped and heated to form into foam. Below are the steps to processing this kind of mattress, courtesy of FloBeds.

• Liquid rubber whipped into a foam and poured into a mold.
• When closed the mold has rods that go through the foamed rubber.
• A vacuum is placed on the mold, which removes air bubbles/pockets and distributes the liquid rubber evenly through the mold.
• CO2 is run through the rods, freezing the foamed rubber and locking in the consistency.
  Heat sent through the rods, providing even temperature and yielding a consistent latex cores without air pockets or uneven firmnesses.
• Impact test results indicate an amazingly low loss of 2-8%.

Latex material is   hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial and dust-mite resistant. Unlike plastic foam, it is more of a denser rubber and comes in better quality.
