How do I know if I'm not getting quality rest?
If you need an alarm clock or wake feeling anything but refreshed, you are probably not getting the real rest you need.

Why is maintaining proper spinal alignment important?
Without proper support, your back, hips and shoulders are thrown out of alignment and you may wake feeling stiff, achy and tired. Latex foam provides comfortable support that keeps you in alignment,and conforms to your contours, cradling your body all night so you can awaken refreshed.

Back? Side? Stomach?
How you sleep is important: Side sleepers need firmer pillows and support given a large space gap between the mattress and their ear and shoulder blade. However, the same sleeper may need a plusher mattress to support the hips and shoulders (and associated contours) which exert a lot of pressure on the mattress which could lead to more pressure points.



If you sleep on your back, you may want to consider a medium firmness pillow to avoid the spine from improperly bending. To prevent back pain, stomach sleepers may need a lower profile or plusher pillow to ensure the neck and spine are in alignment.

The key to selecting the right mattress for you is to not rush the process. Spend a few minutes lying down on several types of mattresses in your favorite sleep position. Pay attention to the position of your spine. Your body should feel completely relaxed in about 2 minutes. It's uncomfortable to stay on a bed in a store for 2-3 minutes but it is critical to better understand the level of comfort and support the bed provides.

More Pressure Relief

Latexpedic® provides Superior Pressure Relief Over Conventional Mattresses

Is tossing and turning bad?
Tossing and turning reduces blood flow which limits oxygen to the muscles and tissues. The body compensates by moving. Unfortunately, this results in less restful sleep, which in the long run can cause you to feel run down. It’s so easy to get the proper support: latex mattresses and pillows let you, and your cells, recharge and renew. Your body will stay in REM or deeper sleep longer.

A normal innerspring mattress makes your body toss and turn about 50X a night - about every 10 to 15 minutes. Any mattress that makes your body toss and turn every 15 minutes is defective. Latexpedic Foam is actually rated 33% more pressure relieving than even memory foam.

Why is pressure relief important?
Pressure interrupts blood flow and oxygen to your extremities, causing the tossing and turning that interrupt a good night sleep. Proper support and alignment ensures your body gets vital nutrients to repair and restore itself all night long.

You feel like you are sleeping on a cloud of air with the millions of Latexpillo Air cells. You do not bottom out. You do not feel the hardness of a steel coil spring. The Latexpillo Air Cells always attempt to go back to their original shape. You do not wake up with parts of your body asleep or sore.

The gentle, conforming support of latex foam reduces high pressure areas that shut off capillary blood flow causing a person to toss and turn. This alleviates pressure and helps bring oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, so you awake feeling recharged and renewed.

No flipping. No tossing. No turning
Latexpedic® foam mattresses do a world of good for your back and spine—in and out of bed. They provide years of comfortable sleep. And never need flipping. Latexpedic® foam will not break down and offers exceptional stability to eliminate sleep disruptive motion transfer. Latexpedic® is the most resilient sleep technology on the market virtually eliminating body impressions and the sagging center many consumers complain about! So you can rest well from now until the sheep come home.

Latex foam is proven to provide 33% more pressure relief and contouring support than memory foam. And it responds instantly to your unique body contours; without waiting for body heat. Latex is made from a rubber-based product versus memory or viscoelasticity foam which is derived from plastics. Latex provides instantaneous recovery; as it contours and supports any body movement, while memory foam provides slow recovery. With memory foam, the sleeper must wait for their body temperature to soften the foam prior to getting that true contouring support that they would experience immediately with latex.

Are latex allergies an issue in bedding products?
In the late 1990's, latex allergies became a topic of concern. Publicity revolved around a very small portion of the public exposed to a protein found in natural rubber latex that caused allergic reactions. The majority of these cases involved health-care workers who came in frequent contact with medical products made using a dipped vulcanization product, often produced in third world countries that do not have the stringent GMP manufacturing codes employed in the United States.

Although the process is completely different from ours, Latex International takes action to prevent the potential for allergic reaction. Non-skin contact products, such as mattresses and pillows, that may contain some natural rubber latex, undergo a five stage washing process which removes reaction-causing proteins while enhancing the over quality of the product. The openness of Talalay latex foam cells, allows for thorough washing.

Complaints for allergic reactions to natural rubber latex are monitored by the FDA. To our knowledge, there has never been a single complaint over our more than 28 years of experience stemming from the natural rubber found in our mattresses and pillows. Our products have been tested by outside facilities and are shown to be inherently hypo-allergenic for sufferers of mold, mildew or bacterial allergies. In addition, our mattress and pillows are resistant to dust mites and are naturally resistant to mold and mildew which are contributors to asthma and pulmonary function allergies.

Eco-Technology

Latexpedic® Talatech® Latex; Nature's Nighttime Inspiration

Latexpedic® Talatech® latex, the sleep product industry's highest quality, most consistent, breathable and resilient comfort material available in the world, is a natural, environmentally friendly product for mattresses.

• The Talalay process features natural, biodegradable ingredients that come from renewable resources and water-based raw materials: natural latex, air and water.

• Natural latex is actually a rubber-based material that comes from the tropical hevea brasiliensis tree which is harvested to produce a resilient, cushioning foam that instantly conforms to every body contour for optimal comfort and support.

• Air is infused into the latex compound to create latex foam's open cell structure that provides a cooler sleep surface.

• Latex International washes every mattress core using a 5 stage washer to ensure purity.

Conservation Conscious

• Energy: Our factory manufacturing automation allows us to optimize energy usage for the molding stage (freezing and baking portion) of the Talalay process. The factory also features energy efficient lighting.

• Water: LI engineered its multi-stage washer to minimize the amount of water consumed.

What Sets  Latexpedic® Talatech Talalay Apart?   The Quality Process.

What is latex?
By definition, latex is a rubber particle suspended in water. There are 2 types; NR or natural rubber latex and SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) or man made latex. All latex is either a blend of the two or 100% natural latex.

All Latexpedic mattress are 100% latex. We use a proprietary blend of natural and man made latex to provide the optimal balance of comfort and durability. Natural rubber latex is used for durability. It inhibits tearing as it can be stretched like a rubber band. Man made latex (SBR) helps in creating a product that is very resilient to body sets as it can be compressed over and over .

Wear and tear simulation testing shows blend superiority. 100% natural latex cores experience 5 to10% more mattress core height loss (i.e. body impressions) due to wear and tear than our Talalay and 2 to 3 times more loss (softening) due to repeated sitting and sleeping.

Is all latex alike?
All foams are not created equal. Latexpedic® formulation and process controls help determine the level of consistency and durability.  The Talatech® manufacturing process helps make the most consistent and durable latex in the world.

Be sure you look for the Talalay latex made in the U.S.A. to be sure you are purchasing the finest quality latex in the world.

Inherent Quality
The conforming nature of latex foam alleviates high pressure points that can cause tossing and turning at night, pain and stiffness the next morning. Latex is hypo-allergenic, contains anti-microbial properties, is dust-mite resistant and breathable. These  qualities keep you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Easy to Maintain

Because Latexpedic® foam mattresses never need flipping or turning, they are better for your back at night and during the day (as you don’t have to lift a 125+ pound mattress to keep its shape or to avoid body impressions).

Why should I buy Latexpedic® Talatech® latex foam instead of less expensive foreign products?
Talatech® latex is the finest latex foam available in the world. Our exclusive Talalay process ensures removal of proteins that can cause other latex to break down over time. It's made exclusively in the U.S.A., more durable and more cost effective in the long run than imports.


What is the difference between 100% natural and blended latex?
By definition, latex is a rubber particle suspended in water. There are 2 types of latex; natural rubber latex and styrene butadiene rubber or man made latex. All latex is either a blend of the two or 100% natural latex. All mattress components and pillows from Latex International are 100% latex. Latex International uses a proprietary blend of natural and man made latex to provide the optimal balance of comfort and durability.

Natural rubber latex is for durability. Natural inhibits tearing as it can be stretched like a rubber band. Man made latex helps in creating a product that is resistant to sagging or taking body impressions as it can be compressed over and over and will continue to provide the same feel experienced on the retail floor for years to come. Blended latex is more durable than 100% natural latex sleep products and are less likely to take a body impression over time.

Latexpedic® Talatech® Latex Mattress Cores:  Available in Soft, Regular Firm, Extra Firm and Ultra Firm

Matters of Support
Plush or firm? Latex, innerspring, memory foam, or air? The right answer for you is deeply personal and comfort is always subjective. For years, the rule-of-thumb was to get a firm mattress. However, body contours are not flat no matter whether you are a back, side or stomach sleeper. Many conventional firm beds leave unsupported gaps between your body and the mattress. The body craves support when it needs rest and requires a sleep surface that conforms to those contours yet feels good. The best mattresses will keep your whole spine in alignment, from the tip of your toes to the top of your head. Supporting without stiffness, cradling without confining.

Latexpedic® mattress cores are derived from the hevea brasiliensis, or rubber tree, latex has inherent qualities that make it the perfect mattress material. Talatech is the highest quality, most consistent Talalay latex in the industry.
