All latex is either a natural / synthetic blend of varying percentages or 100% natural latex. It's important to know that there is no law prohibiting manufacturers from saying that their mattresses are “natural” latex — even if in fact the product has only, say, 50% natural latex with the rest being synthetic.
In regard to latex
processing methods, it is possible to make both natural
and synthetic latex using the Talalay and Dunlop methods. For
the Talalay process, synthetics are usually used, but not always.
