latex toppers that have irregular spaced holes
| I was reading about FBM latex toppers that have irregular spaced holes. Then when I received my latex from Overstock some of mine had irregular holes. Then I saw a picture of foamsource (I think) and it showed some irregular spaced holes. How can that be if they use a waffle maker type machine that has the holes spaced properly? Just curious, wondering how that happens. I don't think it makes a difference on comfort, but wondered anyway. Could it be Dunlop only does that because they process it differently? I don't believe Talalay process does irregular holes form what I have seen. |

they do it for a few reasons. #1, is actually something you have noticed with your own customizable latex mattress, latex tends to cling to itself , and this is not a good thing because it interferes with the rubber cores flexing freely inside the mattress, this ensures a low friction surface between the pieces and proper movement of the cores. #2, related to the first reason is to protect the rubber cores from being damaged by friction over time. #3, because the oils in our skin can damage latex over time if it is handled frequently, this provides some minimal protection from this. |

All of my latex toppers from O-stock had angelhair or gauze covering. Otherwise I don't think you could have packaged it in the plastic bag. I believe they have to use a machine to fold and roll it and insert in the bag. That is why I don't believe a human being repackaged and returned. Anyway I took the gauge off I want it to stick to the mattress and not move around. I can see the spacing of the holes being closer, but they aren't as irregular as some of mine. Some day I will have to take pictures. I will have to rearrange again soon. I have it too soft now and I have it 5 1/2" thick over a spring mattress. |
