Creating the Latex Mattress
Do you ever wonder how a simple, milky-white liquid sap is transformed into an exquisite mattress that gives us cozy sleep? With tree tapping comes sap collection; this collected sap then undergoes several steps of processing to form latex foam, which gains its desired elasticity and durability after being washed and cured.
Hevea Brasiliensis, also known as the rubber tree, is an essential element in producing latex. These trees are typically situated in tropical regions, and their sap is used to create natural latex. Most of these plantations responsible for commercial production reside throughout Southeast Asia. Managing rubber plantations requires specific care since it takes six years for a single tree to reach maturity for harvesting purposes; additionally, each can live up to one hundred years.
Subsequently, cut in layers with additional elements such as wool or cotton – voila! The mattress is formed for your comfort and relaxation. To finish the process, the mattress is compressed and packed for convenient shipping. The result? A comfy and long-lasting mattress made with natural latex – perfect for a restful sleep every night.
How much latex does it take to make a mattress?
Crafting a queen-size latex mattress requires an incredible amount of natural resources, including the entire output from 12 acres of rubber trees in just one day. Not only does this reduce your carbon footprint, considering these same trees can eliminate 143 tons of carbon dioxide yearly, but it also provides meaningful employment opportunities for essential roles like rubber tappers.
When you buy a latex mattress, you are helping the environment significantly. You are supporting the growth of rubber tree plantations, thus removing carbon dioxide from the air and creating jobs. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.
How is the liquid latex made into a mattress?
Liquid latex sap from rubber trees can be processed into a comfortable foam mattress block. Different methods exist to achieve this, most commonly the Dunlop or Talalay method.
Dunlop method: With the Dunlop method, raw latex sap is blended with additives that give it structure. This combination is then loaded into a mould and heat-treated in an oven. Once all remaining liquid and stabilizers are washed away, the block is dried and can be used straightaway – enabling manufacturers to produce larger mattresses from one single mould.
Talalay method: The Talalay method is relatively new and produces a unique feel. To begin, liquid latex is inserted into a cast and tightly sealed before being vacuumed to spread across the mould evenly. It’s then frozen and heated to thicken; the block of solidified material can be extracted from its container. Unfortunately, this practice only permits limited production size for mattresses produced with it – thus, these variants are composed of numerous smaller blocks connected via adhesive glue.
How Knowhow latex mattresses are made?
As a professional latex mattress manufacturer&supplier, Knowhow has a self-own rubber tree farm in Thailand. Our workers, with the utmost care, tap a rubber tree and gather its liquid latex without harming it or the environment. The collected latex sap will be well-stored and transported to our latex mattress production factory in China.
Knowhow latex core production is automated from start to finish, commencing with a determined latex formula and compressed air to form foam with an ideal density. Then, minute air bubbles are inserted into the solution, providing an open cell structure that encourages superior breathability and temperature regulation while you sleep.
A robot spreads a foam mixture into an accurately designed mold containing pin-core holes to create different comfort levels. This is followed by vulcanization (or baking) of the latex core, which undergoes extensive washing and drying before being inspected for hardness, density, and visual perfection. Only when it meets these exacting criteria does this critical step conclude; from there, it’s packed up before heading off to customers across the globe.
With multiple independent certifications to back them up, these mattresses are sure to meet the highest standards of safety and comfort. Customers can rest easy knowing that every latex mattress is made with quality materials for an unbeatable sleeping experience.
