    I'm doing research as we speak.

    But if you are, or are anywhere near a know-it-all on the subject, please share your wisdom.

    1. And perhaps most importantly, just because it's labeled "natural latex" does not mean they have not slipped in man made chemical . Make the seller prove it.

    2. Dunlop or Talalay. There is a difference. Either can have it's advantages.


    • Dunlop latex: This is the original natural latex production process that involves stirring, molding, and baking the tree sap. It is firmer along the bottom and softer toward the top.
    • Talalay latex: This is a newer natural latex production process that involves pouring the foam in a vacuum-sealed chamber. It has a more consistent feel and is more breathable than Dunlop latex.
    • Synthetic latex: This is a cheaper latex option that is not natural. It is made from petroleum-based chemicals and may have lower durability and quality.

    How Can You Check If a Latex Mattress is Natural or Not? (turmerry.com)

    To recognize synthetic and blended latex, make sure to look at the latex mattress sample provided in the store as a demo. If it has a yellowish color, if it easily tears and pulls apart, particularly on the sides, or even retains a chemical smell, it can be concluded that the 'latex' you're looking at might be Styrene Butadiene.


    There are a few other things that consumers can look for to determine if a mattress is made of natural latex.


    First, you can check the product label. If the mattress is made with 100% natural latex, it will say so on the label. You can also look for certifications from third-party organizations like the Greenguard Environmental Ins ute or OEKO-TEX Standard 100. These certifications indicate that a product has been tested for harmful chemicals and meets strict safety standards.


    Finally, you can contact the manufacturer directly and ask about the source of their latex and what type of processing it undergoes
    . By taking these steps, you can be sure that you're getting a truly natural latex mattress.

    You didn't answer your own question to yourself so we'll all assume you use chloroform

    If you lay (in) it, it's not.
    If you lay (on) it and make absolutely no indentation on the in' thing, it is.

    The Myth of 100% Natural Latex (savvyrest.com)

    Why is the phrase “100% Natural Latex” inaccurate?

    Many companies mean well with this language and are indeed using natural latex. However, in order for that sap to bake into the cozy latex layers we love, manufacturers need to add curing agents.
    The most you will see in the industry is 95-97% natural latex in a mattress. That other 3-5% is the curing package.


    What is that extra 3-5%?


    These additives initiate vulcanization and are mostly comprised of sulfur and zinc oxide. Heating the raw rubber with sulfur allows the latex to transition from a liquid to a solid. The zinc oxide helps protect the latex from early oxidation.
