All Dunlop latex used in our mattress is GOLS-certified organic. The primary criteria for GOLS certification are:

• the organic latex content must by 95% or greater.
• no synthetic latex can be used

Additionally, all latex is strenuously tested for harmful substances, VOC's

Dunlop is the original process of manufacturing natural rubbers and remains the optional process for 100% natural and organic latex products. Dunlop is the only process that has commercially available GOLS-certified organic latex products.

The primary difference between the two types of latex in centred around the vacuum and flash-freezing stage of the manufacturing process. This step creates a less dense more consistent latex but with a catch. In order to make up for the reduction in density, you need to increase the consistency of the latex mix. That is why most Talalay is mixed with SBR (Synthetic Rubber) and there is no commercially available GOLS Talalay latex.

We carry the best natural (Organic Dunlop) and blended (Talalay) latex types and price them the same so you can make a choice based solely on the best fit.

Dunlop is more natural, denser, and supportive. Talalay is softer and more consistent but only comes in smaller sizes. For example, a King must be made with glued pieces, and all our mattresses are glue-free, so any King will be made from Twin XL's. All Dunlop pieces are solid.

Some people recommend mixing Talalay comfort layers and Dunlop support cores, but this typically isn't necessary or the ideal use for either latex type.

Yes, latex has a natural odour. It's not bothersome to most people as it's not a chemical smell, but those with smell sensitives are more likely to notice something. We can air our the components at our factory upon requests. We recommend 2-3 weeks on these cases. Additionally, shredded latex pillows have the strongest odour of all latex products.

A bed frame is a critical component of a latex mattress. The general rule of thumb is that you want a breathable, rigid surface with more support than air.

For 100% latex mattresses, the maximum distance between slats in 2.5" and the minimum slat width is 2".

For hybrid latex mattress, the maximum distance between slats in 3" and the minimum slat width is 2".

Traditional mattress foundations rarely meet the unique demands of latex rubber. However, nearly any bed-frame or foundation can be brought up to the warranty standard with Coir Bunkie Board.

There are several ways to bring an existing bed frame up the warranty standard. Our preferred option is Coir Bunkie Board as it's supportive, natural and breathable. Our next favourite is Pegboard. The thin board with holes in it is fairly inexpensive and readily available at most hardware stores. The third option is plywood. Although very supportive, we strongly recommend some breathabilty. Mould is fairly rare problem but there's a greater that zero percent chance of it forming.

Due to the nature of our products, all returns will be subject to a 20% re-stocking and recycling fee. Any shipping or delivery related charges are non-refundable.

Most items are handmade to order at our factory in Delta, BC, Canada. We strive to ship all orders within 10 business days (Monday to Friday, excluding holidays). Some items may take a little longer, while smaller items often ship in a few business days. 

All mattresses thicker than 6" are shipped partially assembled and require basic assembly. The bottom six inches are already assembled in the cover, and any additional layers must be zipped into the mattress at home. Please exercise caution when opening to avoid damage.

The shipping company will deliver the item to your home, but they won't go inside your home or enter common areas found in multi-family dwellings. (eg. Apartment lobby or to a floor in a Condo building). If you live in a very rural area or on a remote island, it may only be possible to deliver to a depot in the nearest town.

We can ship to the Canadian Territories and the USA upon request. Please contact us for a quote.
