I went to a store today and the salesman showed me a Serta latex and said it is 100% Talalay latex mattress. I want to know if Serta makes 100% talalay latex mattress. Thanks.

Indeed look at the actual law tag on the end of the mattress....it will likely list some polyurethane foam as content.

Keep in mind that saying 100% Talalay means absolutely nothing.  All latex in the world is basically 100% Dunlop or 100% Talalay.  You can't blend the two processes together.  You can blend natural and synthetic latex together.

Good points.

Clearly what the salesman described in the OP is going for is to give the consumer the impression that the 100% Talalay matress is 100% natural latex with nothing else in it.

That's great that you are here to point this stuff out, budgy, but I feel bad for all the other people who misinterpret that line from the salesmen (like he is hoping for) and never get the chance to have their impression corrected.
