How does EURO-FLEX SLEEP SYSTEMS Talatech compare to imported latex?
Top of page Extremely stringent durability testing is performed to compare our latex to competitive materials. The following two tests illustrate our superiority to imported Talalay, Dunlop process, and 100% natural latex. Compression Set Test: This test simulates the effect of body impressions on the latex after a person lies on the bed for extended periods of time. Latex mattress samples are clamped to 50% of their original thickness for 22 hours at 158 F. When removed, the percent loss in thickness is measured. Higher values indicate a higher propensity for the product to take a body impression over time. Our Talatech latex consistently outperforms imported latex. Percent Loss of Core Thickness : EURO-FLEX SLEEP SYSTEMS Talatech: 3.3% European Talalay latex: 5.7% (73% more loss than EURO-FLEX SLEEP SYSTEMS) European Dunlop process latex: 7.5% (127% more loss than EURO-FLEX SLEEP SYSTEMS) Asian 100% natural latex: 12.5% (279% more loss than EURO-FLEX SLEEP SYSTEMS) Impact Test: This
