The best latex mattress reviews also take into account the manufacturing process employed by the latex mattress company.

With soaring prices on natural rubber these days (30% increase in 2011 so far) many manufacturers are trying to keep the cost down on these beds by offering only partial latex in the design. For the purest this is probably not the way to go but for the practical person it can offer a good compromise. This base foam would be 5-6 inches and then topped with 3" of either Talalay blend or Dunlop latex Overall height after adding a quilted cover would be around 9.5 inches which is perfect for doing the job and keeping the costs down.

In fact as of the time of this writing there is only one plantation in the world that is certified USDA/EU natural organic. The question is, is there really much difference between organic and non-organic latex products? The answer to that is- not much. You see chemical fertilizers are only used for the first few years of a rubber tree’s life and after that are not needed.

Another question I get asked often is which is the best latex mattress topper ? There are several varieties on the market from blended talalay and all natural talalay to zoned or non-zoned dunlop latex mattress toppers. A Talalay mattress topper reviews the best in my book although there is no right or wrong decision here. All latex mattress toppers are better than their memory foam counterparts. Personally I prefer the blended talalay as it has proven itself over time to hold up longer than all the rest and in a mattress topper scenario this is important to know.
