Talalay Latex Cores

When building a non-toxic DIY mattress there is no better place to start than with a Talalay latex 6" core. Our cores come in both Blended and All Natural Talalay processed latex. Both are Oeko-Tex 100 certified to be free of harmful chemicals. Blended Talalay is about 10% more durable and less expensive than its All Natural counterpart. For those who are trying to live the all natural lifestyle then the choice is obvious but for the rest the Blended might be all you really need. The Blended is what has been around for over 50 years with the all natural hitting the market less than 10 years ago but is our biggest selling item. Selecting Firmness Knowing that you will probably be adding comfort layers on top I always suggest a firmer base core. An ILD of around #36 or #32 is preferred by most with #32 being the most popular for side sleepers and #36 for back sleepers or those over 200 lbs. For those with extreme pressure points and issues like fibromyalgia then the much softer #28 core
