Whats the difference between Talalay latex and Dunlop process latex?
Top of page The Talalay process is a highly controlled, sophisticated latex manufacturing process that produces the highest quality and most consistent latex available in the world. The Dunlop process is the most commonly used production method globally. It creates a firmer product that is used more as base core component. Talalay Process The major difference between the two processes is what happens in the mold just prior to the initial latex curing stage. In the Talalay 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. Dunlop Process 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 and particles s
