Question 2

What certifications does this latex have to ensure it is natural with no fillers or synthetic latex?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your interest! This latex is tested by Oeko-Tex and is Class I certified, which is the most stringent test level.  It is also certified by eco-INSTITUT.  We never use any synthetic latex, fillers or fire retardants!  Please be aware that there are several other products available on Amazon that sellers claim to be "natural latex" which actually contain mostly synthetic latex with a small amount of natural latex (if any).  Products that claim to be "natural latex from Thailand" but are actually made in China (this is often hidden) are very likely all or nearly all synthetic latex.  Labeling Chinese synthetic latex foam as "natural latex from Thailand" is a common practice in the China.  Other products with listings that make very vague claims about the natural latex content such as "100% latex" or "Made with Natural Latex" are likely not 100% natural latex foam.

Question 3

Is this made with continuous pour method of dunlop for increased consistency?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for the interest!

No, this is a moulded foam, not continuous pour.  Continuous pour can sometimes lead to increased cosmetic consistency.  Often this is due to the fact that most continuous pour foam is made with synthetic latex (even if marketed otherwise).  Even when it does have a better cosmetically appearance, it is a physically inferior foam to moulded latex natural latex foam.  It is usually used only because the foam is less expensive to make and the production equipment is usually far less expensive.

There are a few sources of continuous latex foam.  There are two factories in the USA that produce foam in this manner.  They both rarely produce 100% natural latex and when they do, there are usually big quality issues because they do not have an expertise in natural latex.  One of these factories can only produce 3" toppers by glueing two pieces together.  The other makes thicker foam that is then sliced but has a pin pattern that was not designed to be sliced.  This results in very inconsistent products, physically and cosmetically.  Lately, continuous pour foam is coming into the USA from China.  Often this foam is marketed in the USA as "Natural Latex from Thailand".  When you dig further into what they mean by this, they say that the foam is made in China but the latex is from Thailand.  Despite this claim, this foam usually contains little if any natural latex and is mostly synthetic latex.  Not only is it mostly synthetic latex, it often contains a very high level of fillers.  Fillers basically water down the product.  They take up space and add weight but take away from the physical performance of the foam and cost about 10% the price of latex.  We recently tested the foam of another seller on Amazon selling "continuous pour natural latex from Thailand".  The lab report revealed that it was actually Synthetic Latex foam with over 20% fillers.

Sorry, I might have given you a little more of an answer than you were looking for but just want to be clear that continuous pour foam is not superior to our foam.  Please let us know if we can help any further.

Question 4

I'm a side-sleeper and 155lbs.  Would the 3" medium firmness on top of a firm matress be good me but also work for a light female back-sleeper?

Accepted Answer

I'm about the same size as you and put 3 inch on firm mattress and have found it very comfortable.  I think you will be happy.
