Order a Sample
Samples are available of the latex. Samples of the encasement are on their way, but are not available at this time. Though visiting our showroom and actually lying on the beds is indeed the best way to be able to see if a latex matttress is right for you, the samples at least give you a sense of the materials and quality. Call our office for details about this program 888-359-1362.
Our Layaway Program
Here are the basic terms to be agreed upon before we put a mattress on layaway:
- 15% down payment required
- No adjustments or cancellations to your order once the first payment is processed.
If you decide to cancel after the first payment has been made, any payments made to date will be forfeited.
- You will have up to 6 months to make regular payments.
- After the final payment has been made your item will ship.
About Our Latex
Latex is a milky fluid found in many plants. Mattress grade latex comes from the sap of Hevea Brasiliensis, a tropical rubber tree that grows in Southeast Asia, Africa and South America. Rubber trees can be tapped for latex for approximately 32 years. When processed, natural latex is a white milky fluid which is a stable dispersion of rubber particles in water.
How Dunlop Latex is Made
Ingredients for making natural latex rubber are: latex in milky fluid form, soaps, vulcanization agents, and compressed air. These ingredients are put into a continuous foamer to be mixed which is then poured into a mould. The mould is put into a vulcanization oven and steamed at 100ºC or 212ºF. The latex piece that comes out of the oven is washed and dried.
Understanding Firmness Levels of Dunlap Latex
D Ratings & ILD
Latex Firmnesses Levels available are as follows:
Soft, D70, 18-22 ILD
Firm, D75, 23-27 ILD
Extra-firm, D80, 28-32 ILD
Density: D Rating
Density by definition is mass per unit volume; in terms of latex, a soft mattress compared to a firm mattress in the same size will have less material in it. A rating of D70 signifies a density of 70-75kg.
Foam Firmness: ILD Rating
ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) is a standard for measuring foam firmness and measures the foam’s resistance against pressure. The test compresses the latex foam 25% compared to its original thickness to test for comfort. It then compresses the latex foam 65% to its original thickness to test for support. Finally, the latex foam is compressed 25% once again to confirm resiliency. The test is performed by placing a round disc measuring fifty square inches in diameter on a block of latex foam. The disc is then forced down into the foam block until the foam has been compacted down to 25% of its original thickness. A measurement in pounds is taken of force that is required to compress the piece of latex foam. This measurement, the number of pounds required to compress the foam becomes the ILD value. The more a piece of latex foam is able to resist against pressure, the firmer it will be.
IFD (Indention Force Deflection) is a new term for ILD and the two terms can be used interchangeably. When the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) decided that the metric system would be used in all of their publications and test methods in the late 70’s, they decided to use the word force rather than load, and ILD became known as IFD.
CFL (Compression Load Deflection) is a standard for measuring foam firmness and measures counter-pressure when the latex foam is compressed with the same disc as in the ILD test above. The test performed on our Dunlop latex is the CFL test per ISO 3386 standards.
Please note that although the correlation between density and firmness exists, it is not exact. This means that although a 24 ILD falls in to a medium firmness rating according to the table above, it could also still fall into a soft firmness rating. This is why both ratings are necessary to determine a more accurate firmness of the mattress.
