Shop current dealsDunlop or Talalay: the choice that matters most
Dunlop latex is denser and firmer with a steadier feel, which suits back sleepers and anyone who wants strong support. Talalay is lighter and more elastic, giving a springier, more pressure-relieving surface that side sleepers often prefer.
Many latex beds combine both: Talalay near the surface for comfort, Dunlop underneath for support.
Certifications worth checking
For natural latex, look for GOLS certification on the latex itself, and GOTS on organic cotton or wool covers. GREENGUARD Gold or OEKO-TEX certification covers emissions and substance testing.
Blended latex is not a red flag on its own, but it should be described honestly. A bed marketed as natural should say what percentage of the latex is natural.
Firmness, ILD and long-term value
Latex firmness is usually given as ILD. Roughly, ILD in the high teens to low 20s feels soft, the mid-20s to low 30s feels medium, and the high 30s and above feels firm. Comparisons only work within the same latex type.
Latex is heavier and pricier upfront than foam, but it typically holds its feel longer, which is where its value comes from. Look for a warranty that covers impressions of around three-quarters of an inch to an inch.
FAQs
Does latex sleep hot?
Latex is more breathable than dense memory foam because of its open cell structure and pinholes, though a thick quilted cover can still trap heat.
Is latex safe for allergies?
Natural latex is naturally resistant to dust mites and mould. People with a diagnosed latex allergy should speak to a clinician before buying.
How firm should I go?
Side sleepers usually prefer medium, back sleepers medium-firm, and stomach sleepers firm.
