GOLS Certified Organic Latex

They use true organic latex, a 100% natural substance derived from the rubber tree. Rubber trees are tapped to extract the milky fluid that is natural latex. In contrast, synthetic latex, a petrochemical polymer created to simulate the properties of organic latex, has its roots in the lab.

The rubber tree is a perennial which can produce latex for up to 25 years. Once “tapped out,” trees are harvested to become furniture or other goods.

Because it takes up to six years before trees are mature enough to produce latex, rubber tree growers practice “intercropping.” Smaller crops like pineapple, tea, or coffee are planted between the rows, keeping the land productive while waiting for the first latex harvest. This allows the farmers to diversify their income sources and keep workers employed. There are biological benefits too; companion crops encourage the biodiversity of insects and soil organisms, keep erosion in check, and protect the tree base from cold weather damage.

Sustainable and renewable, natural latex is a resource whose cultivation positively impacts the economic, social, and environmental life of a region. 85% of the world’s rubber trees are planted on small-scale farms directly managed by owner-operators. We get our latex from FSC-certified growers in India. FSC stands for “Forest Stewardship Council,” an international nonprofit established to ensure responsible, environmentally sound forest and supply-chain management.

​Its open-cell structure makes it breathable and temperature-regulating. Dense but springy, and extremely durable, Dunlop latex foam provides the ideal supportive core for pillows, mattresses, and toppers. Your eco-friendly bedding will last for years, and you can rest easy knowing it was produced sustainably from start to finish.
