Hi ssum,
I switched your post to a new topic of its own so your questions don’t get mixed in with another member’s topic.
It’s somewhat disturbing when consumers are given misleading information such as this which is more about “selling a mattress” than it is about educating their customers.
There is very little latex sold in North America that is made in China and the most common source of Dunlop latex made in India is CoCo latex which is a very high quality material and is used in some very high quality latex mattresses.
There is more about the different types and blends of latex in post #6 here and I would focus more on the type and blend of the latex and on the certifications it has than on the country that it is made. All the latex you are likely to encounter (whether it is Dunlop or Talalay or made from natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or a blend of both) is equally “latex” and are all a good quality material relative to other types of foam.
SleepEZ doesn’t use latex made in India. Their Talalay latex is either made in the US or Holland and their 100% natural Dunlop is either made in Sri Lanka for most of their mattresses or in the US for one of their mattresses. All of them are very high quality materials.
