Today we are going to tell you an interesting story about latex
100% natural Dunlop latex rubber foam, made from sustainably harvested sources. It’s an eco-conscious, high-performance material, offering resilience, durability, and temperature control that far exceeds synthetic, blended or petroleum-based polyurethane foams.
NO POLY FOAMS
Is your mattress making you sick? It’s possible. Most of the big foam mattress brands are made from petroleum-based polyurethane. Paired with chemical adhesives and flame retardants, they can emit chemical odors (“off-gassing”) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) over time — which can contribute to unhealthy indoor air quality and impact physical and mental health. They’re also horrible for the environment. Dunlopillo Mattress, we do not use any polyurethane foam. Instead, we proudly use 100% natural Dunlop latex from tree-tapped and sustainably harvested rubber trees from Sri Lanka
NO CHEMICAL FLAME RETARDANTS
We do not use chemical flame retardants. Instead, our affordable non-toxic mattress relies on natural hydrated silica and untreated Organic wool as flame retardants, which ensures we meet all safety standards for flammability without the use of chemicals. Chemical flame retardants are known to be “toxic, persist in our environment, and accumulate in our bodies.” Their use is linked to infertility, birth defects, and lower IQ scores, behavioral problems in children, as well as liver, kidney, testicular, and breast cancers. Unfortunately, their usage is not required to be disclosed on the mattress legal label.
