Yes, I am the "king of all nuts" here at the forum in a way because I have spent so much time experimenting with foams and DIY projects. It's been both a hobby and experimentation born out of necessity. My posts # is due to my having been here a long time more than posting often. Though admittedly I do go through spurts of posting often. I find the idea of creating my own mattress fascinating and this grew out of trying a number of other mattresses - including all latex and all foam, including Tempurpedic, and various "S Co" spring mattresses as well - and finding that none of...

It is impossible to make latex foam without sulfur...it is literally what forms the links between the rubber molecules.  The foam is made of the same materials in either case, and this website has grossly oversimplified the process if we are trying to be really scientific. Ammonia is usually used in some small amounts in just about all latex foam production...particularly if the latex is being processed a long distance from the rubber plantations...ie, North America or Europe.  

When a rubber tree is damaged in the wild the milk of the rubber tree (latex) comes out and will actually naturally harden within a relatively short period of time.  Ammonia is typically added in large volumes in the shipping containers so that this does not happen during transport of the material.  Even a small amount is usually added even if it is processed in SE Asia.

The Talalay process does use a little bit more chemicals than say dunlop process latex, and can never be *quite* as pure as the purest dunlop rubber around.  But the last place I would trust for latex foam information is Essentia.  Its not the additional chemicals/soaps and what not used in the Talalay process that acheives the softer feeling, it is the ratio of air/latex that is different and creates a lower density product than what is acheivable with dunlop latex.   To be fair though I am affiliated in latex mattress sales, but do carry both Talalay and Dunlop process rubbers. There are good and bad things about both processes.  

The 100% natural talalay from Latex International is certified by the Eco Institut of Germany now.  It has been 3rd party tested and it shows that there is no synthetic latex in the mix. When they...

So you personally hold me accountable for you not liking the Sam's Club Latex mattress because someone else asked about it and I said it seems to be good for the price?  I never even recommended it to the person who started that thread.  

 

As far as your questions about Tempur-Pedic I am very quick to talk about the negatives of any polyurethane foam mattress including Tempur-Pedic.  The threads and comments that are made about Tempur-Pedic are also started by individuals that actually purchased the product and are making objective criticism.  If someone came along and started a thread about Tempur-Pedic and it was just called "Tempur-Pedic - don't buy it"  and they go on to explain that they like a soft bed and someone selling Tempur-Pedic recommended to them a firmer Tempur model like the Deluxe mattress instead of something like a Cloud...
