Why does Talalay latex have all those holes?
They’re actually part of how it’s made. During the Talalay process, liquid latex is poured into a mold containing rows of pins. Those pins help transfer heat through the latex as it cures, leaving behind the distinctive pattern you see in the finished material.
As an added benefit, those openings also allow air to move through the latex — one reason Talalay is known for being a breathable mattress material.
Just one of those things you might never think to ask about a mattress. But around here, we think the details are worth knowing.
