Question from bjenkins
I was wondering if anyone has information on what goes into Royal-Pedic’s blended latex mattress that they sell in their non-organic line? I have gotten many different answers to this question from dealers and from calling their own 800 number. Their website and their product binder at the mattress store both say it is all natural latex, but a different dealer told me it was blended. The company did not reply to my email asking about what is in the blended latex.
The last call I placed to their 800 number, I was told it was 60% man-made and 40% natural latex. The man-made ingredients included styrene and something else that the woman couldn’t spell, but started with a “b”.
Does anyone have knowledge of the whether a blended latex mattress off-gasses and to what degree? I imagine it depends on what it is blended with.
I could just get the Royal-Pedic organic latex mattress, but I cannot try one because no dealers in Chicago carry it in their showroom. One of the company representatives told me that it is a softer mattress than the blended latex. Has anyone else researched Royal-Pedics blended latex core?
