Article: What Kind of Mattress Should I Buy?
Q. What is the difference between a dunlop latex mattress and a talalay latex mattress?

A. A hand tufted mattress will always give a firmer surface feel. This is because the tufting links through the mattress, tensioning both the spring unit and surface upholstery. Whereas a quilted mattress will always feel more sumptuous, because both spring unit and upholstery are released allowing them to conform to their natural deeper position
A. The words "dunlop" and "talalay" refer to the methods for processing latex. The talalay method uses a couple more steps than the dunlop method for processing the latex. In these steps, the air is extracted from the latex foam and then the latex is flash frozen. This results in an "airier" latex. So the talalay method produces a softer, lighter latex than the dunlop method. This isn't to say the talalay method is superior. One method is not better or healthier than the other. The talalay mattresses are more expensive because of the extra steps involved. It still comes down to personal preference. Do you want a softer latex or a more firm latex?
