We often get asked about the purity of our latex in our latex mattresses by customers who find it really frustrating trying to figure out whether other online companies are selling really pure latex mattresses like ours or are just making empty claims.
Now with new regulations in place, it is no longer possible to make empty claims so we thought we’d show you directly what goes into the making of our latex and where it comes from.
The latex in our Boomarang brand latex mattresses comes from a company called Latex Green. They are a 100% natural latex foam manufacturer based in Columbo, Sri Lanka. The Rubber only comes from a specific planation and they have over 60 years’ hands on technical experience in Rubber technology and manufacture. Much more expertise than could be presented by a small, new or un-established company. The trees from the plantation remove 143 metric tonnes of Carbon Dioxide from the environment in 1 year alone. Meaning that your latex mattress is not only chemical free and pure, but is green in combating Climate change as well.
The process used is a Dunlop process rather than the Talalay method. General expert consensus is that this traditional method of latex production produces much sturdier latex foam and subsequently latex mattress which is more durable than the Talalay method of production. The Talalay method also allows for the introduction of chemicals so it is more difficult to assess the latex’s purity.
The Dunlop process at the Latex Green factory uses a high tech U.S foaming machine in which air is blended with latex to achieve the required density and hardness during its foaming and gelling process.
As a 100% natural latex manufacturer with customers who are particularly looking for a 100% pure product only, they choose their ingredients carefully.
The pure latex foam is then vulcanised using a steam cure technique that uses a highly energy efficient machine with design engineered pin moulds that keep the latex undisturbed through the process. The following multi washing cycle uses only pure clean drinkable water to wash the latex. The final stage involves a soft condition drying mechanism which is unique to latex green to enhance the natural feel of the end product.
The latex is quality controlled for correct hardness, weight and look so that you can be assured that the latex that goes into your mattress has been checked to ensure that it is in perfect condition before it goes into your mattress.
There are no toxic or synthetic fire retardents or other artificial additives or chemicals used in the latex foam or in any of the processes at Latex green, subsequently there are absolutely none used in the final production of our latex mattresses. The foam has subsequently been certified by oeko tex and our final latex mattress production involves the use of only natural fibres without any fire retardants or toxic glues. Where gluing of layers is required only natural rubber solution is used.
How can we be sure? If you paid for veggie burger and you got a beef burger you’d see, taste and smell the difference wouldn’t you?
With certifications and a fully transparent supply chain, we can see where our fabrics and materials come from so that when we assemble the components without the addition of anything impure we know with 100% confidence that what we are providing the end consumer is what we say it is.

One expert has offered tips to mothers who want to speed up the time spent in front of the mirror when applying their natural makeup.
According to lilsugar, mums often have to compromise how long they spend getting ready for the day ahead as a result of certain time constraints.
However, speaking to the publication, makeup artist at the New York Paul Labrecque salon Taymour offered mothers time-saving advice for putting on their chosen cosmetic products.
He explained people should make use of powdered foundation, as it is easy to apply, while suggesting eye makeup be kept simple with an all-over colour.
In addition, the specialist stated a good concealer could make a big difference.
"It covers under eye circles when you've been up late, conceals broken veins and can serve as an eye shadow base if necessary," Taymour noted.
Those who would like to take heed of his advice may want to invest in organic products from buyOrganics, which do not contain harmful chemicals such as lead and parabens.

Brides-to-be may offered natural makeup tips
Brides who want to get the most out of their natural makeup on their wedding day may want to take advice from one expert at the Washington Times.
Writer Tim Quinn suggested that certain cosmetic products, such as moisturiser and primer, are essential for any lady heading down the aisle in order to avoid looking "chalky" in pictures or having too much oil seep into other aspects of their makeup.
"The camera picks up more detail than our eyes do, so wearing highlighter all over your face won't make you look angelic - just greasy. Keep it to a soft glow around your eyes," the fashion specialist explained.
He added that the bride could take a photograph of themselves before the ceremony to make sure they look their best on film, making any appropriate adjustments before stepping out of the door.
Website buyOrganics currently offers a wide range of natural makeup, including lipstick, cleansers, face cream, masks, scrubs and toners.

Natural skincare products to help with oily complexion?
Natural skincare product users in their early and mid-20s could find that sticking to a regular routine helps them to tackle oily skin.
Writing for a Forbes blog, Megan Casserly noted that no matter a woman's age or perceived attractiveness by people around her – using A-lister Jennifer Aniston as an example – oily skin could be a confidence destroyer.
For 20-somethings, the main issue with skincare could be a busy lifestyle in which looking after skin falls behind enjoying nights out, holidays and social events.
Skincare expert Stacy Cox told Miss Casserly that "20-something skin is as hard to pin down as their lifestyles".
She advised not sleeping in makeup, using sun cream everyday and drinking lots of water, which could help those with oily skin to control shine and keep their skin healthy.
According to recent research by the NPD Group, more and more makeup users are becoming interested in products like that boast skincare benefits. More than half of those surveyed said that makeup with built-in sun protection is important to them.
