| Dunlop Latex
|
| Feel |
More buoyant and consistent in feel. Talalay has a more buoyant, weightless, feather-like feel and a wider, more accurate range of firmnesses. |
Denser, firmer, inconsistent feel. The Dunlop process allows the particles in the material to settle to the bottom of the mold making it firmer on one side and less consistent overall. It has a dead, firmer feel. |
|
Pressure Relief
|
Relieves pressure up to 33% better than traditional cushioning materials. Provides instant, pressure relieving comfort that allows better circulation and softer feels that reduce tossing and turning. |
Does not conform to the body as well and does not have consistent pillow soft materials. Doesn’t relieve pressure as well as Talalay. |
| Breathability |
Full Ventilation and an Open-Cell structure make Talalay the most breathable latex available helping your muscles and skin receive the oxygen they need to rejuvenate and repair themselves. |
Not fully ventilated, the Dunlop process also leaves a skin over the top of the materials which greatly reduces breathability and can make it sleep hot. |
