A comprehensive guide to Dunlop and Talalay latex, construction, firmness and factory-direct pricing — from Los Angeles’ third-generation latex mattress specialists, hand-building since 1964.

We make it, sell it, deliver it and guarantee it — one company, start to finish. There is no distributor markup and no anonymous warehouse between the workshop and your bedroom, which is how a hand-built, all-latex mattress stays priced for real families rather than for a showroom chain.
Two factory showrooms, open seven days, mean you can compare firmness in person in Burbank or Phoenix before you buy, and call the same company for warranty service years later.

Both begin as the same liquid sap, but the manufacturing process changes everything downstream. Dunlop, the original method dating to 1929, whips the latex into a froth and bakes it in one stage; natural sediment settles toward the bottom as it sets, producing a denser, firmer, more durable material best suited to a mattress's support core.
Talalay adds a vacuum-seal and flash-freeze step that distributes the latex and air bubbles evenly before baking, preventing that settling. The result is a lighter, more consistent, more "bouncy" cell structure — often compared to a marshmallow or a cloud — that excels as a top comfort layer.

Most mattresses sold today contain zero percent natural ingredients. We build to the opposite standard: cotton, wool and latex, and nothing else. You'll spend more than 120 days a year of your life on this mattress, for the rest of your life — better to sleep on all-natural materials than to find out later what was hidden inside a synthetic core.
Cotton gives the quilting its soft, luxurious hand-feel. Wool is a natural fire barrier that requires no chemical flame retardants. Latex — your choice of Dunlop or Talalay — does the actual work of support.

A Latexpedic mattress will outlast most others by more than a decade, and part of that comes from a detail most brands skip: we quilt both sides with the same cotton and wool, not just the side you're meant to sleep on. That makes the mattress completely reversible, distributing wear evenly across both faces instead of letting one side break down while the other sits unused.

Latex is available Soft, Regular Firm, Extra Firm and Ultra Firm — and because we layer and zipper the mattress rather than pouring it as one solid block, that firmness isn't locked in on delivery day. Queen and king sizes can even be split, giving couples two different firmness levels in one bed.
A clean, low-profile all-latex feel, especially at home on an adjustable base.
Layered latex marries yielding comfort with considered support, reversible and quilted both sides.
A firm 6″ core embraced by 3″ of softer comfort latex above and below, in three zippered layers.
A zipper makes what's inside more breathable, more responsive and more serviceable. Want it softer or firmer? Swap a layer instead of replacing the mattress. Need a service check? Open it and see exactly what's inside — nothing hidden, nothing to guess at. Reinforced handles on every side make an all-latex mattress, which is genuinely heavy, manageable to rotate or move.

Natural latex resists the body impressions and sagging that shorten a conventional mattress's life, and a 20-year limited warranty reflects the confidence that durability earns. Every mattress is hand-crafted one at a time in our own workshop — not assembled on a mass line — which is also what makes it possible to rebuild a customer's mattress to a new firmness years after the original sale.

Latex flexes cleanly at the joints of an adjustable base instead of cracking the way rigid innerspring construction can. Our showroom pairs every mattress model with the adjustable bases we sell and service directly — Electropedic, Flex-A-Bed, Ascend, Dawn House, Supernal and Tuffcare — in Twin through Dual King sizes.
