A British scientist named Mr. Murphy, working for Dunlop Rubber, was the first to create foam from natural latex, dramatically improving the quality of sleep and daily life for millions of people. The Dunlopillo brand was registered in 1926, three years before Dunlopillo perfected the original process for manufacturing foam latex. In order for us to enjoy the comfort offered by natural latex sleep products today, the British scientist spent time and effort resorting to even “unorthodox” methods and techniques. Specifically, he used a cake mixer in his attempt to make latex foam. Five years of intensive research finally led, almost by accident, to the discovery of the process for processing latex. To this day, the machines used in Dunlopillo’s factories resemble large cake mixers. Dunlopillo latex foam replaced the hard wooden seats on public transport, trams, trains, and trolleys. Soon, the foam was also introduced into the aviation industry for the upholstery of aircraft seats and cockpits.<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t

Latex foam gained international fame when it was used for Donald Campbell’s seat, who managed to break the speed record of the time with his Bluebird boat. In the 1950s, the renovated English Parliament was furnished exclusively with Talalay seats.<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t
