If you are looking for a talalay latex mattress then you’ve probably heard a lot of mixed reports about the quality of these types of mattresses. While many write all the hype about it off as marketing and advertising, I will attempt to dispel all that and look at some of the facts. Its important that you don;t get carried away by media hype around a “hot new” product and its also important that you don’t get scared by some bas report that one disgruntled customer throws around.

Firstly, you will notice that a Talalay latex mattress is significantly more expensive than most other mattresses. This is mainly because of the more sophisticated manufacturing process and compared to other types of latex mattresses, this is by far more sophisticated. What most people don’t know is that latex is a natural material derived from the sap of trees. It can be worked into 2 distinctly different forms of latex, the one being dunlop and the other being Talalay. Cheaper latex beds are made from Dunlop latex which does not hold its shape that well and lacks the balance and firmness that you get with Talalay.

A talalay latex mattress is very similar to Visco memory foam mattresses in that it is soft enough to conform to your body shape, yet hard enough to provide good support. The fact that its a rubber and not a foam adds some distinct benefits that adds to the high price of the material and the product. It has great thermal qualities. The pincore holes in the mattress makes it hot in winter and cool in summer which is a little known benefit to a great night’s sleep.

More than anything the unique qualities of the Talalay allows it to support your body in a way that most other beds simply can’t. The balance of firmness to softness makes it one of the view mattresses that can truly relive muscle tension which will have you wake up more rested and feeling more refreshed.

Lastly, a Talalay latex mattress is hypo-allergenic which means that it causes lot less allergies. The mattress can “breathe” and greatly reduces the amount of mold and dust mites  that is commonly found on normal mattresses.

Whether its worth the price, well – that’s up to you. What I can assure you is that this is a very high quality material that holds its shape and provides a unique form of support that really is unlike any other mattress on the market.
