Your mattress is a sturdy block made from one or more foam layers. This is surrounded by soft, sleek upholstery that gives you that extra cushioning. Many steps go into the creation of the organic latex foam matrix that supports your good night's sleep by resisting the downward force your body exerts due to gravity.
You definitely want an undisturbed, quiet sleep and organic latex mattresses are the way to get one without any low grade synthetic blend covers that fray and unravel, or cheap clay and mineral fillers that will lead to a loss of firmness over time. Searching for casings and shells made only using organic wool and cotton will help you locate soft, strong bedding that stands up to regular use and abuse. To truly understand how time affects your bed though, we need to return to the factory origins of the core.
To make your mattress out of liquid latex serum, the fluid substance must be injected into a mold, and then allowed to set, thus forming the center of your mattress. This is the essential Dunlop method, and it results in a durable mattress that resists all sorts of wear, especially popular with parents. Because the mold sets over time, heavier particulate in the mix settles to the bottom of each molded layer, meaning that one side of your Dunlop latex mattresses may be slightly firmer than the other.
In contrast, a Talalay latex mattress has a more uniform interior matrix structure, because it's flash frozen during its vacuum molding process. This means that there many grades of softness not even available with a Dunlop molded core, but durability may not be as high.
There are no advantages that make either Dunlop or Talalay latex mattresses better than each other. It's entirely up to your personal preference and how you feel about the mattress you choose online.
