HIGHLIGHT / DID YOU KNOW?
Natural Vs. Blended Vs. Synthetic Latex
There are many different kinds of latex pillows on the market. The different kinds of latex pillows are natural, blended and synthetic.
The most Natural Latex is 97% natural, and only has a very small percentage of chemicals which are needed to turn the rubber sap into the natural latex “foam” texture. A sample of our natural latex was lab tested, to analyse the percentage of natural rubber. That percentage came back to be 97%, the rest being sulfur (less than 1%) and other untracable elements.
Blended latex is a material that was made from maximum 50% natural rubber, and 50% other chemicals.
Synthetic latex has very small amounts of natural rubber, and is mostly made using chemicals because it helps companies cut down on costs.
Blended and Synthetic Pillows are generally cheaper than natural latex pillows, due to the amount of real rubber sap in them. They are also usually much “smellier”, and have a very particular smell that many find displeasing. They are also less dense, and flatten a lot faster than natural latex pillows and are more potent to collecting mold overtime.
