There are several types of latex in production today, so it’s important for you to know the differences between them. Natural latex is tapped from plant life while synthetic latex is created by blending latex fibers and fillers. Synthetic latex can be filled with less than ideal compounds and tends to perform worse as compared with natural latex.

In the commercial production space, Dunlop latex is most commonly used. While many companies can and do use natural dunlop latex, it is less refined and doesn’t have the same lush feel as Talalay latex - the gold standard in latex production. Our 100% natural Talalay latex is sustainably tapped from rubber trees in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Brazil and is OEKO-TEX certified for quality.

Unlike many mattress materials, our latex is Rainforest Alliance Certified™ and not harmful to the environment. We use only all-natural Talalay latex, found in nature and ethically sourced. Our safe manufacturing process helps us ensure that we can provide you with a great night’s sleep and a clear conscience.

We know you’ll get many wonderful years of use out of a Birch latex mattress. But we also know that one day, you’ll have to say goodbye. That’s why we’ve made our mattress entirely out of eco-friendly materials that are free of harsh chemicals and 100% recyclable so you can have worry-free disposal when the time comes, a long long way from now.
