What is Latex Gold rubber?

Latex Gold is made from 100% natural rubber extracted from the Hevea brasiliensis tree, a renewable resource grown in Malaysia. The natural milky juice of the rubber tree is processed to form a soft, yet durable, material. The honeycomb consistency gives the rubber a true sponge- like quality which has yet to be equalled.

The latex rubber is extracted from the rubber tree through an environmentally ‘soft’ process. Rubber tree plantations are carefully maintained and renewed whenever required. Research has shown that as the demand for natural rubber has increased so has the reforestation of rubber plantations. This is preserving significant forest areas essential to the conservation of the earth’s biosphere.

The latex flows from cuts in the bank of the trees and is collected in small cups from which it is regularly transferred to larger containers.

Latex Gold is 100% biodegradable, hygienic, hypo- allergenic, dust-free, contaminant-free and non-toxic. Latex Gold is comprised of a network of millions of ultra micro- cellular structures distributed across the whole block. This is made possible using the latest micro-vent technologies, which further promotes natural breathing and longer product durability.

Latex Gold has been orthopaedically designed to promote optimal posture and superior lumbar support.

How long will it last?

Does Latex Gold get damp?

Does Latex Gold rubber get hot?

Latex Gold rubber is very porous and as the rubber is compressed and released, air is circulated around the material. The pin core construction promotes the flow of air through the mattress. The reputation that rubber has for being ‘hot’ has been in connection with impermeable surfaces such as groundsheets, airbeds, etc. as these are made up with an unbroken solid surface that does not
breathe and as such, cannot be compared.

Does Latex Gold have harmful chemicals in it?

Latex Gold is non-toxic and environmentally safe. Our production staff are not required to take any special precautions when handling the ingredients during the manufacturing process.

Why is it germ, moth and vermin resistant?

Latex Gold is by nature aseptic and repels germs. It is also moth and vermin resistant. As a result, latex rubber is widely used in hospitals.

Does Latex Gold give a healthier sleep?

As well as its hygienic properties, Latex Gold is denser than synthetic rubber and it retains its shape and cushioning properties. The consistent resilience uniformly supports the sleeper while the softness provides overall comfort. Latex Gold is quick to recover its original shape and any motion disturbance caused by tossing and turning is absorbed rather than being transferred from one sleeping partner to another.

Is Latex Gold healthier?

Specially moulded to breathe more freely and contour to your body shape, Latex Gold supports your body uniformly, yet yields to the extra pressure and shape of your hips and shoulders, providing correct ‘spine in line’ support. Natural latex has the highest natural bacteriostatic and antibacterial properties, unmatched by any other polyurethane or synthetic foam.

Does it help asthma and hay fever sufferers?

Sufferers from asthma and hay fever are often distressed by the presence of feathers, down or dust. Latex Gold is dustless and has nothing to disintegrate to form irritating particles in the air.

Is Latex Gold expensive?

Nothing is more expensive than a mattress that loses its original comfort in a short period of time or requires constant attention. Latex Gold is practically indestructible, and with correct usage, will last indefinitely and promote good health, all for a moderate initial cost. It therefore represents the highest value for money in the truest sense of the word.

What is the best base to use with a Latex Gold mattress?

For a Latex Gold mattress, the main essentials are a base that permits the mattress to ventilate itself and one that does not sag. Any good box spring base or slatted wooden base that conforms to these requirements is suitable.

Has it been proven?

Latex Gold is highly resilient and extremely durable, and has been manufactured for over 50 years. It is not uncommon to replace the cover of a mattress that is over 30 years old and find that the rubber is still in good condition.
