Although both talalay latex rubber and memory foams are merchandised as premium materials in mattresses around the world, the two materials are actually opposites in many ways.
Listed below are several ways these materials are different from one another.
Talalay Latex is a rubber. Memory foam is a foam.
Talalay Latex rubber is a natural material derived from the hevea tree. Memory foam is a synthetic material and is a petroleum-based product.
Talalay Latex rubber has a breathable design and cell structure that provides a temperature neutral environment. Memory foam is a dense material, which needs heat to activate its pressure relieving quality. It tends to sleep warmer.
You “sleep on” Talalay Latex rubber, it has an uplifting affect. You “sleep in” memory foam.
Talalay Latex rubber is a two dimensional material. It is both supportive by being uplifting and is also pressure relieving. Most memory foam mattresses use memory foam in the pressure relief layer and tradition poly foam in the support layer.
Talalay Latex rubber provides an “uplifting” effect. Memory foam provides a “sinking” effect.
Talalay Latex rubber is “bottomless,” even when you lay on your side, your body does not “bottom out” into a hard layer in the mattress or on the foundation. Memory foam allows you to bottom out onto what is underneath it.
Talalay Latex rubber is a fast response material. When you move, it immediately responds to your new position. Memory foam is a slow response material.
Talalay Latex rubber is hypoallergenic and does not off-gas. Memory foam is a petroleum-based product.
Talalay Latex rubber is extremely durable. Because it is vulcanized, it is the most resilient material available in a mattress.
Talalay Latex rubber is antibacterial and antifungal.
