BOTANIC DUAL 100% Organic Latex Mattress

In the sea of mattress options out there, a lot of the real expert and engineering value gets drowned out by marketing. Everyone talks about how comfortable their mattresses are, how much support they give – and the word orthopaedic gets thrown around like Coca-Cola.

If you’re reading this and thinking about buying a mattress – even if it’s not from us – no worries. At least you’ll know a few important things and learn how to spot the difference.

We keep seeing labels like Made in the UK, Made in Ireland and other grand marketing claims.
Here’s the truth: There are only four actual latex foam producers in all of Europe – in Belgium, Germany, Bulgaria, and Italy.
Producing latex foam is a complex, skilled technological process. Cutting, assembling and putting the mattress together is something else entirely. Just assembling a mattress does not make you a latex producer. Be careful with this.

No factory using the Dunlop process will ever mix in the Talalay process.
Both use the same latex base, but the moulding and finishing methods are completely different.
A plant producing both at the same time? It doesn’t exist. That’s just another clever marketing trick.

Trying to blend Dunlop and Talalay is another marketing move.
They’ll claim Talalay is softer and more luxurious – but it’s simply not true.
Engineering standards for firmness have nothing to do with the process itself.
Foam density is standardised for all firmness levels.
What some brands do is combine two different firmnesses – and then label the softer one as Talalay.

If someone tries to sell you a mattress with just a few inches of latex on top, then adds other foams or springs underneath, and calls it a latex mattress – that’s misleading. And expensive.
There is nothing better – in terms of quality and comfort – than a 100% natural latex mattress.
Everything else is just marketing. And yes, it’s clever marketing – but marketing nonetheless.
