Latex International Introduces Its First Gel-Infused Product

Furniture World News Desk on 12/20/2014

Latex International, the largest Talalay latex component producer in the world, said it would introduce “TalaGel,” the first gel infused product on the market that combines the cooling properties of gel with the anti-microbial, dust mite resistant and hypoallergenic properties of Talalay latex.

Latex International developed TalaGel to address dealer interest in developing more products that address temperature regulation. Known for its innovative formulations, TalaGel provides all the same benefits of the company’s Classic Talalay, but with the added natural cooling benefit. In addition to relieving pressure and providing support, this new gel infused product wicks heat away from the body, helping individuals sleep at their most optimal body temperatures.

“The momentum in our category is coming from the Talalay segment and dealers are looking to us to present more innovation and enhancements, as we are doing with TalaGel,” said Latex International President and CEO Dave Fisher. “One of the main marketplace issues our dealers face is a consumer looking to specialty bedding but wanting extra assurance that it will sleep cool –while also having the other important benefits of premium Talalay. We are delivering something quite exciting to the market with TalaGel.”
