Latex toppers are designed to add extra comfort and softness to the existing mattress. They conform to your body and relieve pressure points. A latex topper is a great way to improve the comfort of your mattress without having to replace the entire mattress. 

The general rule is that if the mattress is a little firmer, then the 5-cm-deep topper will prove sufficiently comfortable and positively impact the sleeping surface. Alternatively, if the mattress is way too hard and causes pain and aches, the deeper 8-cm topper will be more suitable.

Absolutely, a mattress topper can extend the lifespan of your mattress. Here's how:

Protection: A topper acts as a barrier, preserving the integrity of the mattress beneath.

Enhanced Comfort: By adding an extra layer of cushioning, a topper reduces direct wear on the mattress. It helps distribute your body weight more evenly and prevents pressure points that can degrade the mattress over time.

Delaying sagging or indentation: If your mattress has started to develop indentations, a topper can mitigate this issue by providing a more even surface to sleep on. While it will NOT fix severe sagging, it can delay further damage.

Customisation: If you find your mattress uncomfortable due to its firmness, a topper allows you to adapt the sleeping surface to your preferences without needing to replace the entire mattress.

Cost-Effective Solution: Investing in a quality topper is often more affordable than buying a new mattress. It can breathe new life into your existing mattress, postponing the need for a replacement.

Reduced wear and tear: With the topper absorbing most of the daily wear, your mattress experiences less direct contact, leading to reduced wear and tear and potentially extending its usable life.

However, it's crucial to note that while a topper can offer benefits and prolong the lifespan of your mattress, it might not entirely solve deep structural issues or an already significantly deteriorated mattress. Regularly rotating and flipping your mattress, along with using a topper, can collectively contribute to a longer mattress lifespan.

Yes,our Ultimate Talalay Latex Topper can be used on all mattress types—memory foam, pocket-sprung, hybrid, and latex mattresses. However, if the mattress has a hand-tufted button finish, the topper will fill the gaps between the bumps, and this may give the impression of sagging or dipping. 

While it can improve comfort and support, a topper will not fix a severely sagging mattress. The mattress needs to be intact and provide a solid base for the topper. Please note that latex is quite a dense and heavy material and follows the contours of the mattress underneath. If there are any indentations on the mattress surface, they will also be present on the topper. It's essential to assess the condition of your mattress before opting for a topper. 

Talalay is a complex contemporary manufacturing method that involves a few additional steps as compared to the Dunlop latex process. Before baking, the latex is whipped into a froth, poured into a mould, sealed with a vacuum, and then rapidly frozen. The key distinction is the freezing stage (-30°C/-22°F), when the round cells break open so they can connect with each other. Talalay latex is up to 10 times more breathable than other foams due to these interconnected round cells. The cell structure is very consistent, and the topper has one uniform feel all the way through from top to bottom as well as a lighter, fluffier feel. The process is more expensive due to its two extra steps and the limitation of the size of the moulds. 

Talalay latex is defined as the ‘’Earth's Finest Sleeping Material.’’

A topper made with 100% Natural Dunlop Latex offers a lavish and luxurious feel. It is softer, bouncier, and springier than Dunlop latex. Talalay latex surpasses comfort and conforms to the body's contours, providing great pressure relief and muscle relaxation. 

When choosing between 100% natural Talalay and 100% natural Dunlop latex toppers, consider your preferences for firmness, support, and feel. Dunlop latex tends to be denser and firmer compared to Talalay latex. 

Both Talalay and Dunlop latex are natural latex types derived from the sap of rubber trees and are equally durable. Yet they undergo different manufacturing processes, resulting in distinct characteristics with their own unique benefits:

• Our Dunlop latex toppers are of exceptional quality and value for money. Dunlop latex is an excellent solution for those seeking a slightly denser, more supportive surface with a silky cushioning feel but on a limited budget
• Our Talalay toppers offer a plusher and more luxurious feel at a premium price. The Talalay latex is very elastic, feels bouncy and springy, and may be better suited if you want a gentler feel with more pressure relief

The mattress cover is made of Tencel fabric, which is a natural fibre extracted from wood pulp. ActiproTM technology is used in the fabric to provide healthful protection against allergens, dust mites, and odours, which helps to maintain a clean, fresh, and healthy sleep environment. Actipro is an anti-bacterial treatment applied to the Tencel fabric that uses active probiotics. Actipro probiotic finish is a safe and effective natural solution for combating allergens without destroying the positive microorganisms. During manufacture, the Actipro microflora is attached to the cover fabric using natural clay technology. Actipro offers natural protection against house dust mites by neutralising the allergens.

The Ultimate Talalay Latex Topper does not contain any chemicals or harmful substances; it is halogen, metal, and chemical-free.

• We use only 100% natural Talalay latex, certified to the Euro-Latex® Eco Standard and the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100
• The textiles in the Tencel Cover are certified to the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100

No, toppers made entirely of 100% natural Talalay latex do not release any gases. The toppers may have a mild natural rubber scent initially when they come out of our factory, but it dissipates within a few days. 

Yes, the Ultimate Talalay Latex Topper is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites and other common allergens, making it an excellent choice for those with allergies or sensitivities.

Latex is a naturally breathable and self-ventilating material that does not cause overheating. It is constructed with millions of interconnected air bubbles that allow instant air circulation and keep the mattress fresh and cool all night. Latex is not a heat-sensitive product and does not react to body temperature. We recommend using natural cotton bed sheets and duvets to create a pleasant microclimate in your bed. The topper will promote comfort, rejuvenation, and deep, restful sleep.

According to UK law, all mattresses must comply with certain fire safety standards. It is a legal requirement for all mattresses to be made fire-retardant. We choose to employ natural graphite instead of toxic chemicals. We use natural graphite, a mineral derived from Mother Nature, as the only natural fire-retardant additive in the mattress. The graphite has fire-retardant properties, and when mixed with latex, it acts as a fire barrier.

We use water-based natural latex glue, Simalfa 325, which is solvent and chemical free. The adhesive has Green Guard Gold Certification and conforms to the many changing environmental regulations, proven to be completely harmless. The adhesive SIMALFA® 325 does not contain any substances or raw materials from animal products, and therefore it is vegan.

Yes, 100% natural Talalay latex toppers are renowned for their longevity, and their expected lifespan is 10 to 15 years, or even longer with proper care. They often outlast many other types of toppers. Latex is a natural material with high elasticity and is also extremely durable. It always bounces back to its initial size and shape after long-lasting deformations and keeps a consistent feel across its lifespan.

Every new topper feels different, and your body needs some time to adjust and get used to the new feel. It is normal for the topper to feel a bit strange and not as comfortable in the beginning, but the longer you sleep on it, the better you will experience its benefits.

That is why we offer a free home trial with free exchanges and free returns for UK mainland customers.

• The initial home trial period is 30 days, counting from the same day the topper is delivered to you
• If you find the topper uncomfortable, we can exchange it with something more suitable, or you can return it straightaway
• If you decide to exercise your right to exchange, you can try the replacement topper for another 30 days and still return it for a full refund if it proves unsatisfactory

The Ultimate Talalay Latex Topper comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee against faults in materials and poor workmanship (including sagging). The warranty covers any visible indentations more than 2cm deep.

• We require a copy of the original sales receipt as proof of your purchase
• Our product guarantee covers repair or replacement of the original topper; i.e., if the product is declared faulty, we will not issue a refund but will repair or replace the product accordingly
• Following a replacement or repair, the guarantee will remain valid from the date of the original purchase
• The guarantee is valid from the date of the original purchase, is for your benefit as the original purchaser only, and is not transferable to any other person
• If you sell or transfer your product, the subsequent owner accepts the product “as is” and has no rights to claim under the guarantee

A tear in the fabric, which can be caused by accidental damage such as the fabric catching some sharp object, will not invoke the warranty as this is not a manufacturing fault or defect and therefore is NOT covered by the guarantee.

Latex Sense reserves the right to refuse warranty repair or replacement if a new topper becomes damaged due to being used on an indented mattress or bed base with inadequate slat gaps (greater than 3 inches), a second-hand bed foundation with insufficient support, or if the topper is in an unsanitary condition.

Sustainable construction techniques and materials are used to build the entire topper. You may sleep soundly knowing that our toppers are environmentally friendly and green. We are committed to creating eco-friendly latex toppers without memory foam's adverse environmental impacts.
