Natural latex products are expensive because its raw materials are relatively scarce. In general, rubber trees in plantations can start tapping when they are 5-6 years old, and the latex output reaches its peak when they are 15 years old, and then gradually decreases. 40 years old trees can hardly cut latex.
In addition, each healthy rubber tree can only produce about 30 ml of latex juice every day. How much is 30 ml, which is about the liquid capacity of the lid of the coke bottle cap 3.
However, the history of natural latex entering the field of bedding is not very long. It can be traced back to 193 1, and the first latex mattress was successfully developed. From 65438 to 0954, the research of Dr. Theo Lemes from the School of Health of gutenberg University confirmed that latex has strong antibacterial properties. From the health point of view, latex is the most ideal bedding filler, which is superior to all existing materials. Oak protein in latex can effectively inhibit the latent of germs and allergens, inhibit the breeding of mites, prevent dust, mildew and static electricity, and is most suitable for friends with asthma and allergic rhinitis, and has a certain preventive effect on skin allergy and bronchitis. This discovery made latex bedding enter the upper class for the first time, and from then on, it became the king of bedding in the world.
