Especially designed to breathe more freely and mould to your body shape, Latex Gold supports your body uniformly, yet yields to the extra pressure and shape of your hips and shoulders, providing correct spine in line support.
Scientifically proven to be significantly antibacterial, Latex Gold is also mould free and dust free. Latex Gold is denser than synthetic rubber and retains its shape and cushioning properties, outlasting other cheaper materials.
Designed to provide you with a naturally superior sleep, 100% natural Latex Gold rubber is a hygienic, hypoallergenic, dust-free, contaminant free & non-toxic product.
The natural milky juice of the rubber tree is processed to form a soft yet durable material. The honeycomb consistency gives the rubber a true sponge like quality, which has yet to be equalled.
The latex rubber is extracted from the rubber tree through an environmentally friendly ‘soft’ process. Rubber tree plantations are carefully maintained and renewed whenever required. Research has shown that as the demand for natural rubber has increased, so has the reforestation of rubber plantations. This is preserving significant forest areas essential to the conversation of the earth’s biosphere.
The latex flows from cuts in the bark of the trees and is collected in small cups.
What is the difference between Latex Gold and synthetic rubber?
Natural Latex Gold rubber has high resilience and strong elongation properties which help to enhance the performance over a long period of time. Foams made from synthetic latex do not have these properties to the same degree.
Some manufacturers using the ‘talalay’ process use a very different component. They use synthetic rubber (unnatural and man made). Synthetic rubber can be made from raw materials derived from substances such as coal, oil, natural gas and acetylene.
New Zealand Foam Latex has a clear philosophy regarding synthetic rubber - "We don’t and won’t use petro-chemical materials in our rubber".
The difference between the two rubber types is considerable. Quite simply one is natural and the other is not.
Consumers worldwide are increasingly demanding natural and environmentally friendly products; Latex Gold fits that criteria perfectly with impeccable environmental credentials. No toxic substances are used during the manufacture of Latex Gold. Natural latex is significantly antibacterial and is non-allergenic, mould free and dust free. Latex Gold provides superior comfort and lasting orthopaedic support.
When you add up all the facts, the difference is clear. There is just no substitute for natural Latex Gold rubber.
The Outstanding Attributes of Latex Gold
No unnecessary fillers or additives are added so that the intrinsic green strength of natural latex is maintained. Foam from other manufacturers typically contains up to 30% fillers (eg. clay, calcium carbonate) to reduce the production costs - at the expense of quality, durability and sleeping comfort.
Latex Gold comprises a network of millions of ultra micro cellular structures distributed across the whole block, made possible by using the latest micro technology. This attribute further promotes natural breathing, gives good initial contact feel and longer product durability.
Latex Gold has been orthopedically designed to have posture zones catering for optimal posture and lumbar support.
The excellent dynamic properties of Latex Gold synergised by the presences of the multi-million ultrafine interconnected open-cells enable the foam to follow the body contour and respond with the right support pressure to the weight of each part of the body.
Does Latex Gold give a healthier sleep?
As well as its hygienic properties, Latex Gold is denser that synthetic rubber and it retains its shape and cushioning properties. The consistent resilience uniformly supports the sleeper while the softness provides overall comfort. Latex Gold is quick to recover to its original shape and any motion disturbance caused by tossing and turning is absorbed rather than being transferred from one sleeping partner to another.
Is Latex Gold healthier?
Specially moulded to breathe more freely and mould to your body shape, Latex Gold supports your body uniformly, yet yields to the extra pressure and shape of your hips and shoulders, providing correct ‘spine in line’ support. Natural latex has the highest natural bacteriostatic and antibacterial properties, unmatched by any other polyurethane or synthetic foam.
Is Latex Gold expensive?
Nothing is more expensive than a mattress that loses its original comfort in a short period of time or requires constant attention. Latex Gold is practically indestructible, and with correct usage, will last indefinitely and promote good health. It therefore represents the highest value for money in the truest sense of the word.
