Puro Latex
(Natural Rubber)
Natural rubber latex, is the juice of the tropical rubber tree ‘Hevea Brasiliensis’ that is cultivated in plantations in Southeast Asia (f.e. Indonesia, Sri Lanka), parts of Africa (f.e. Cameroon) and South America (f.e. Guatemala).
Latex is a white milky fluid, a stable dispersion of rubber (organic polymer) particles in water. Our high-quality natural latex comes from selected and controlled plantations, which has been carefully tested before being used in the manufacturing process.
We are proud to have obtained certification by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). FSC-labelled products come from a forest and supply chain that is managed responsibly. To achieve FSC certification, you must adhere to ten rules that cover the essentials of responsible forest management. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certifications confirm that the plantations are management’s responsibility in accordance to world forests certifications. FSC also represents the transparency : the origin of each Latex mattress core can be traced back to its tree, through control organizations such as the Rainforest Alliance.
We apply principles of Sustainable Latex Foam Production, relying entirely on the natural advantages of latex for our products. Do not need chemicals anywhere along the production line. Natural latex is extracted from the rubber tree and processed using natural biodegradable ingredients derived from renewable sources. Τhe production of our latex foam is done in energy saving machines and all water used is part of one closed loop water circuit . Every drop is recycled in our own water purification plant and we do not use drinking water for industrial purposes. And the "waste" latex, they are recycled internally and externally and reused in new products. We use two diffrenent Latex production methods, Dunlop or Talalay process.
The main difference at the Talalay process is the flash frozing (-180 C) of the formula, before the gellig, to prevent particles from settling and locks in Talalay’s unique sell structure. In addition, the latex produced also goes through a five-step washing and rinsing process in a soap and water solution, making it the healthiest sleep product in the world. Talalay latex has been called "the most perfect sleeping material on earth".
It is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, non-toxic and hypoallergenic. Research has shown that natural latex gives bacteria, fungi and house dust mite no chance. Βeing a highly safe and inherently hypoallergenic material, latex is one of the most popular sleep materials because it offers a unique floating sensation that relaxes muscles and relieves tension, letting the stresses of the day go while you sleep. Resistant to dust mites, with long life and little to no loss of hardness and height. The latex used by Snooze Mattress is certified as Oeko-Tex Class I, with the highest possible score. This certification verifies that each latex product is free of harmful substances and is safe. Very few latex or foam producers in the world meet the standards of this independent third-party certification. The end result of this meticulous production process either Dunlop or Talalay, is a Natural Rubber Core, from sustainable natural resources of the Rubber trees. Fully recyclable, with almost zero carbon footprint.
Natural latex offers several outstanding advantages. It feels very soft, giving you a pleasant, comfortable feeling. This material is very elastic and flexible. An extremely ergonomic mattress ideal for flexible bases (reclining mechanism) of beds. Quiet when turning the body and with perforation that allows optimal air flow to enjoy an exceptionally comfortable sleep and ensures excellent ventilation, so that surplus moisture is easily discharged. A natural latex mattress helps the body when tossing and turning, while optimally supporting the body during sleep. Last but not least, the specially designed surface with multi-zone engraving, to offer you gradual support in every part of your body. The comfort zones in the mattress, e.g. at the level of the sleeper’s shoulders and hips, can provide better support to the body. Therefore we prοduce natural Latex mattresses with Multizone pin patterns. This way the blood circulates better, thus relieving you of the pressure.
Silent when you rotate, and perforated with up to 64 holes per 1m², which allows for optimal air flow to enjoy an extremely comfortable sleep. Thanks to this perforation, you ensure ventilation, so that excess moisture is easily expelled. Finally, the specially designed surface with multi-zone engraving, to offer you gradual support in every part of your body. Belts with multi-band patterns provide greater comfort. For example, the latex density at shoulder level is different from the latex density at the hips, giving you the maximum and best possible support. Blood circulates better, thus relieving you of pressure.
A comfortable pillow is just as important as a good mattress. Choose a pillow that optimally supports the neck as well as the head. Natural Latex pillows retain their form throughout the night. They are supple, soft, agreeable and feel fresh.
Wool
