Hi Jack,

Thanks for your question.

Quite simply the only way to find out is to ask!

If the mattress description or specification doesn’t give these details I’d advise caution.

If a product contained 100% Natural Latex they would definitely be mentioning it in the specifications.

If there are no details I’d ask the sales person, seller or retailer what type of latex the mattress is.

ie is it dunlop or talalay?

Then I would ask what the blend is, is it 100% natural latex or synthetic?

If you can’t find out or they say they are not sure then I would advise you either buy with caution or find a manufacturer that can answer these questions for you on your potential latex mattress choice!

If you require any further assistance please call the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards Gary
