Seven-zone Latex—Does It Make a Difference?

Many mattress companies these days are advertising latex with five, even seven “zones” of varying densities. Here, we consider what latex zones are and are not, and why they are mostly irrelevant to sleep comfort.

Your Mattress and Your Back

In your first few decades, you may be blissfully unaware of the delicate, amazing architecture of your back. You can lift, walk, dance or sleep without thinking much about that stack of disks and the extraordinary tube of nerves, your spinal cord. Your muscles may mutter now and then when you overdo it, but all in all, your back just quietly does its job.

Until it starts to scream.

If your back pain is keeping you from deep, restorative sleep, you’re not one in a million, unfortunately--you’re one of millions.

The Latex Industry

A guest post by George L Mathew

The rubber tree known as hevea brasiliensis originially came from the Brazilian rainforest. This is the most commercially exploited tree for extracting rubber. Many other plants have sap which is similar to rubber sap, but none of these have been used commercially to date. Whenever the price of rubber goes up, scientists come up with many possibilities for using other plants in a commercial application for extracting rubber.

George Mathew provides a snapshot of the latex industry from his perspective as the director of Coco Latex Exports, our Dunlop latex supplier.
