Hi mattress strain,
As you probably know already … when you spend a lot of time researching down to more and more granular details and more specific information it can lead down a rabbit hole and sometimes you may find that all the information you hope to find either isn’t available to you or that there isn’t any consensus about what some of the information you discover really means or how relevant it may be.
[quote]During my research I read most of the referenced info before I posted.
Seems a lot of greenwashing, and claims can be made that are misleading. The terms 100 % natural latex, 100 % pure latex, and 100 % organic latex can all mean many different things and or nothing depending, Is all very frustrating.[/quote]
You certainly won’t get any argument from me that there is a great deal of misleading or confusing information in the industry.
You can read a little more about “100% natural latex” in the first part of post #7 here. 100% “pure” latex really doesn’t have any specific meaning because the word “latex” doesn’t differentiate between whether it is synthetic or natural so 100% synthetic latex could also be considered to be 100% pure latex. Certified organic latex refers to foamed latex that is at least 95% natural rubber and also meets the other organic certification criteria that are in the previous posts I linked.
This would be 75 kg/m3 density … not the ILD of the topper. You can get a sense of how the density relates to ILD in post #2 here.
They are one of the major latex producers in Viet Nam (see here) and while you don’t see their latex as much in North America as Latex Green, Arpico, or CoCo latex … the few retailers or manufacturers that I’ve talked with that are familiar with them think highly of them. They make molded and continuous pour 100% natural Dunlop latex.
