Inquiry Latex pure bliss

[phoenix]

Hi mike7,

[quote]Phoneix have you heard of this dealer www.bedsunlimited.net/contact/beds-unlim...angeles-ca-brentwood
they carry the pur latex bliss line but if you go to that site and read the part about talalay vs latex it doesnt seem to equate what you say here on this forum -Warning: Do not buy from companies that import latex in solid form, all imported solid cores have been sprayed with pesticides. Only Latex Bliss Manufactures and pours their latex in the states using the Talalay process. [/quote]

That’s a whole lot of misleading information in a single paragraph

Latex (or any cargo) is fumigated when it enters the country if it’s put on wooden pallets to kill the pests that may otherwise infect the forests here. See this page. I can’t imagine an importer that would be silly enough or want to bear the cost of fumigating by putting latex fores on wooden pallets.

There are 3 manufacturers that pour latex in North America (Pure Latex Bliss, Latexco, and Mountaintop foam) but they are right that only one of them pours Talalay latex.

Talalay process takes 14 hours to produce vs a Dunlop process, which takes 1 hour. The quality difference between Dunlop & Talalay process is that Dunlop produces inconsistent latex which very in feel from one section to another and breaks down much faster.-

This is also “partly true” but also depends on the type of Dunlop that the Talalay is being compared to. Continuous pour Dunlop is almost as consistent as Talalay in terms of ILD and also comes in softer versions. There is more about the different types of latex in post #6 here.

In any event Ill check them out tomorrow… I prefer all organic but they seeem to have several different choices (they claim those are made exclusive for their company)—any downside to purchasing pure latex bliss mattresses and are there any online companies that have the same quality using all talalay?

If you prefer organic latex (vs 100% natural) then you would be limited to the few Dunlop foam manufacturers that make latex that is certified organic (although there is no functional difference between organic and 100% natural Dunlop latex). You can read more about organic latex in post #6 here.

Post #1 here includes all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that can help you make the best possible choices including a link to a list of the members here that sell latex mattresses online in a wide variety of designs and with many options in terms of the type of latex they offer.
