SISAL
100% NATURAL LATEX
100% natural latex is a plant-derived raw material gathered in Asia from the rubber tree. Rubber tree forests prevent soil erosion, provide timber and firewood, and create jobs. From its faraway source in Asia, the natural latex milk sap is transported to Europe in the ballast tanks of large cargo ships. Because these ships require liquid ballast, our latex is transported with no additional energy impact.
Sisal (agave) is a plant originating in the eastern part of Mexico. The sisal fiber is extracted from its leaves. Sisal fiber is used as a primary layer of the padding in our mattresses. Surrounding the core of the mattress, sisal has proven to be very durable, ensuring great stability and excellent support for the lay- ers of filling and stuffing. Compact and homogeneous, the sisal fiber layer guarantees air permeability and excellent elasticity. In addition, sisal fiber is a 100% natural and renewable organic material.
At ELITE, our mattresses are made of natural latex, a true gift from nature, and they are guaranteed to be free of synthetic rubber.
Currently there is no standard definition of "natural latex".
Many mattresses are sold with the description “natural latex” while failing to say that most of these “natural latex cores” contain between 15 and 30% synthetic latex milk. At ELITE, we use absolutely no synthetic rubber from petroleum derivatives (SBR). All the qualities discussed in our literature have been certified according to the Eurolatex standards as well as the Öko-Tex 100 standard !
