Natural latex is secreted as part of the natural biological processes of various plants, and most prolifically by Hevea
brasiliensis, the rubber tree plant. Natural latex is a mixture of organic chemical compounds produced by specialized cells called lacticifers, which are basically modified phloem cells.
The composition of this liquid botanical latex varies slightly from plant to plant, but mature rubber trees produce latex on a daily basis. Botanists believe latex to be a natural plant adaptation that protects certain species from insect predation.
Natural latex has been grown on rubber estates for commercial production since the 1800s. Liquid latex is harvested from rubber trees without damaging the plant, so a single rubber tree can produce latex for as many as 50 years. According to the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology, and Natural Resources at the University of Nevada, Reno, the commercial genetic lines of Hevea used today were crafted from hundreds of years of seed saving and specialized breeding programs.
Rubber trees can be tapped at around five to eight years of age, according to Purdue University . The liquid is harvested by hand each day by workers, known as tappers, who insert a metal tap into each rubber tree, following time-tested harvesting methods.
Each day, the tappers harvest the latex from collection cups hung below the taps. An experienced tapper can process 200 or 300 trees over the course of about three hours.
The secret to the versatility of latex lies in a cell structure that's adaptable to a wide range of manufacturing processes. Almost every rubber manufacturing process uses some form of vulcanization, which is a means of altering the chemical structure of latex by adding sulfur or other curatives to create to create cross-links, or bridges, between polymer chains. The result is a stronger, more stable, and usually solid rubber structure. The physical properties of the finished rubber depend on the types of additives, the exact vulcanization or curing processes, and any molds or blowing agents used to manipulate the final shape. Read about the different types of latex to find out more concerning the characteristics and end result of each.
Some simple rubber curing processes, like the Dunlop latex foam technique, can take place right on the estate. Botanical latex is treated with anticoagulation compounds (usually ammonia) and transported in its liquid form to dedicated laboratories for more complicated chemical processes—like the cold-dipped vulcanization technique used for stretchy medical-grade rubber, or the patented Talalay latex foam method.
The unique properties of botanical latex are adaptable to a wide range of applications. More than a century of practice with creative manufacturing techniques has led to a phenomenal diversity of rubber uses. From pencil erasers to medical-grade rubber gloves to foam mattresses, latex is a major component in everyday items that we take for granted.
A form of latex can be synthesized using man-made components in laboratory settings. Synthetic latex is a passable imitation of real botanical latex and can be used in many of the same vulcanization processes.
"Blended latex" mattresses contain a mix of synthetic and natural latex. In most cases, this involves a synthetic core to keep down costs, with a botanical latex sleep surface. Natural latex tends to be used for the sleep surface since it has superior loft and support compared to synthetic versions.
If you find a mattress labeled "100% latex" instead of "100% natural latex", it's probably made up of blended latex. Ask questions about which components are synthetic to ensure that you get the best possible sleep experience.
Today, with growing health concerns and the rising awareness of "green" social and environmental accountability, latex is growing in popularity. Botanical latex is a sustainable, renewable resource and a natural plant-based alternative to synthetic industrial products.
There's an inherent "bounciness" to natural botanical latex that no amount of laboratory expertise has quite been able to match. If you decide for budgetary reasons to go with blended latex, talk with a sales representative to compare your options and find the variety that's right for you.

When shopping for a natural latex mattress, it’s important to know the facts. There are so many mattresses companies out there, so it can be difficult trying to figure out which company will not only provide you with comfort but will also align with your values of ethical sourcing, transparency, and healthy living.
Customers appreciate honesty from brands because a brand you can trust is a brand you’ll go back to again and again. We’ve filled our website with a ton of information but have noticed that not every company does that.
There is one topic, in particular, that doesn’t seem to be mentioned enough and that’s the myth of 100% natural latex.
What does this percentage really mean? Keep reading to learn more.
Natural latex is made exclusively from rubber tree sap. This means that it does not contain any outside fillers such as clay or sand, which can decrease the overall lifespan of the mattress.
The rubber sap, or serum, is whipped into a liquid foam, poured into molds, and baked. However, if you were to simply bake the sap and not add anything at all to the mixture, it would just be a runny mess. This brings us to the next question…
Many companies mean well with this language and are indeed using natural latex. However, in order for that sap to bake into the cozy latex layers we love, manufacturers need to add curing agents.
The most you will see in the industry is 95-97% natural latex in a mattress. That other 3-5% is the curing package.
These additives initiate vulcanization and are mostly comprised of sulfur and zinc oxide. Heating the raw rubber with sulfur allows the latex to transition from a liquid to a solid. The zinc oxide helps protect the latex from early oxidation.
No. We source the highest quality natural latex in the industry from Cocolatex and Radium Foam.
Our Dunlop latex meets the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), and our Talalay latex is Cradle to Cradle Gold certified. Our organic mattresses as finished products are GOTS-certified organic, the most rigorous and impressive certification in the industry, as well as Greenguard GOLD certified. Our mattresses are safe for even the most vulnerable populations (children and the elderly), and would not have been able to meet the strict requirements associated with these certifications if the curing agents were harmful to consumers.
Bio-hybrid and eco foams are not truly natural. They’re usually a blend of synthetic and natural latex, which means they can still include formaldehyde and other harmful chemicals.
The only language that is regulated is “certified organic,” so look out for those words when shopping for a mattress. A mattress that is completely GOTS-certified is always the safest choice.
Memory foam is a synthetic material that retains your body heat. It is this chemical reaction from your body heat that allows it to move with you, relieving pressure points. While this is effective at first, it is not a durable material and will not have as long of a life as a natural latex mattress.
There is also the issue of harmful chemicals off-gassing from some memory foam mattresses.
Peace of mind. You know a mattress that is completely GOTS certified is safe for you and your family. Not only will you be sleeping on a healthy mattress when you choose Savvy Rest, but you’ll be comfortable as well since our mattresses are completely customizable for both you and your partner.
The “one size fits all” concept is popular in the mattress industry. But what if one size doesn’t fit you?
Learn more about this material, and why Savvy Rest always opts for natural latex mattresses instead.
A mattress should be an investment with long-term value. It should be comfortable, durable, safe and yes, even luxurious. Keep reading for our tips.

There are 2 different types of latex rubber: Natural Latex Rubber (NR) and Synthetic Latex Rubber (SBR).
Natural Latex Rubber is naturally extracted from the rubber tree by tapping.
There are many types of Synthetic Latex Rubber: Each type has their own specific technical characteristics. In today's global latex mattress industry, Styrene - Butadiene copolymer (Buna-S Rubber -SBR) is mainly used for manufacturing synthetic latex mattresses. The method used to form SBR is by polymerizing two monomers, Styrene and Butadiene.
Products made from natural latex have higher grade physico-mechanical characteristics (tensile strength, elasticity…) in comparison to products made from synthetic latex. In addition, due to the specific chemical structure, products made from natural latex that are biodegradable at the end of their service life, thus causing no pollution.
A COMPARISON OF THE SPECIFICATIONS AND PHYSICAL APPEARANCE BETWEEN NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC LATEX MATTRESSES
The following comparison will be more accurate when comparing the chemical bond density after the vulcanization stage of natural and synthetic latex mattresses, as follows:
(*) Natural latex is more vulnerable to ageing than synthetic latex; however, KYMDAN’s innovative processing technology has allowed our mattresses to last for over 25 years on average . In fact, research shows that the aging index of KYMDAN mattress is more than 0.86 compared to other Natural Latex or Synthetic Mattresses that possess less optimal characteristics.
KYMDAN mattresses are made from natural latex using a strict extraction process in order to have the finest natural latex. To produce a KYMDAN DELUXE Queen size with a thickness of 5.91 inches (15cm); generally, the raw rubber sap must be collected from 436 mature rubber trees.
Combining the finest quality natural latex, along with our very own pioneering technique for processing the raw materials, KYMDAN has created unique products with the most outstanding quality:
