To tap a rubber tree, a collector will make a thin cut on the diagonal to remove a small piece of bark. This allows the milky liquid to run out of the bark down the tree and this fluid is collected in a bucket. However, the flow will stop after about 6 hours when the bucket will be collected. The tree may be tapped again with a new cut the next day.
To make a queen size latex mattress, it will take a whole day's output of 12 acres of rubber trees.

What Is Natural Latex? 100% natural latex is a milky fluid found in the bark of rubber trees. Continuous tubes of latex known as “latex vessels" grow in a spiral around the bark of the rubber tree. Most of the plantations which are responsible for the commercial production of latex are found in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. The rubber trees themselves take 7 years to mature until they can be tapped and harvested for their Latex. Today, a single highly productive tree has a life cycle for producing latex of about 28 years. Many trees can live up 100 years. Latex can be tapped without destroying the tree or creating pollution.

Mattress Buying Tips! Look for spinal alignment! The key to buying a mattress lies in the line of your spine! If a mattress is right for you, then your spine should be straight when you lie on your side and maintain a natural curve when you lie on your back. Look for a mattress that is softer at the hips and shoulders, but firmer at the mid-spine area like our multi zone latex mattress. Our experts at the Unique Sleep Fitting Room will check your spinal alignment every time you try a mattress!
