Natural vs. synthetic blend. Since I loved the Talalay pillows by LI I just wondered what chemicals were used. Does my pillows (all 4 of them) have chemicals in them, are they blended?

Well said. There is still no comparison between SBR blended latex and PU foams containing PDBE fire retardants. These FR's can, over time, evaporate into the surrounding environment, and may slowly be absorbed into your skin.

PDBE's are called the new PCB's... They're nearly identical in structure to PCB's, but replace chlorine with bromine.
