What is Talalay latex foam?
The Six Steps of the Talalay Manufacturing Process The Talalay latex process generates the world’s finest quality, most resilient, breathable, and consistent foam for mattress cores, toppers, and pillows. The Talalay latex foam manufacturing process is a six-step procedure, which includes the following processes: compounding, whipping air into foam, pouring foam into a mold (with more foam = higher density = firmer product), pulling a vacuum (enabling foam to occupy the entire volume of mold), freezing (locks foam structure), injecting CO2 to gel foam (changes liquid to solid), heating (which solidifies durability and resiliency), de-molding core/pillow, washing, drying, inspecting for quality and fabricating. Here are more details on the six primary steps: 1. Compounding: In the first step, synthetic and natural latexes, soaps and rubber curing agents are mixed together in a water cooled, stainless steel mix tank to create latex foam.
