Hi All - In refining my search I have some questions about Natural vs Synthetic Talalay. After researching this forum I've found Natural Talalay (Advantages)
Natural Talalay (Disadvantages)
My questions are:
Your input would be appreciated. I may just contact LI eventually too. Thanks, George |

I think you have to distinguish between blended and 100% synthetic. I am not sure when you say synthetic, whether you really mean a blend of synthetic and natural. I think most would agree that 100% natural is probably better than 100% synthetic. The blended Latex International (has both natural and synthetic in it) is a good product. I found it fairly similiar to the 100% natural. The 100% natural seems slightly more resilient to me, and has less of a chemical smell. Other than that, I don't think I would notice much of a difference. However, I have not done a side by side comparison to really know how much of a perfomance difference there might be. My bias now is to pay a slight premium for the 100% natural. Not sure about the durability difference. |

My vote goes for 100% natural botanically grown Talalay processed latex, manufactured by Latex International.
Latex International makes a blended latex that is 30% natural 70% synthetic. Many like it just as well as the all natural, and it is less expensive. If you go for Latex International's blended product than I would recommend purchasing one grade firmer than you would if you were purchasing hundred percent natural. Because the blended product is less dense. ILD has nothing to do with density. They are two entirely different things, is my understanding. |
