What’s In the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper?
It starts with Talalay latex foam, but there’s much more to this mattress topper. Let’s take a look at what goes into the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper.
Talalay Latex Top Layer
The top layer of this mattress topper features the star attraction: Talalay latex. Extracted from rubber trees, Talalay latex is a buoyant and responsive material that makes an ideal sleep surface. Plus, this natural product is obtained from a highly renewable resource.
Zippered Cover
These days, who doesn’t love a feature that makes a product easy to clean? With the 3” Talalay Mattress Topper, you choose one of the following zippered, washable covers:
- Organic cotton — a luxurious cotton fabric provides a hypoallergenic sleep surface.
- Cooling — a silky, circular knit creates a breathable surface that feels cool on contact.
Your Choice of Firmness Levels
The point of having a mattress topper is to help you enjoy enhanced comfort while you sleep. Latex firmness is rated according to the Indentation Load Definition (ILD) Scale, which measures how much weight is needed to form an indentation in the latex. The higher the ILD number, the firmer the latex surface.
The Talalay Latex Mattress Topper is available in three firmness levels:
- Soft — 19 ILD
- Medium — 28 ILD
- Firm — 36 ILD
Talalay Mattress Topper Sizes
In order to create a comfy sleep surface, your mattress topper should match the size of your bed. The Talalay Latex Mattress Topper is 3 inches thick and available in most mattress sizes:
- Twin
- Twin XL
- Full
- Queen
- Queen Short
- King
- Cal King
3” Talalay Latex Mattress Topper Review: Pros and Any Limitations
It’s good to know how a product is made. But what’s it like to actually purchase and sleep on the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper? In the sections below, we list what we believe are the benefits of this product. Of course, nobody’s perfect, so we’ve included what we think are some minor limitations.
Pressure Relief
When it’s time for bed, you want to let go of your daily stresses and pressures. A luxurious sleep surface is a great place to start. You’ll love the way this responsive mattress topper helps relieve pressure on your joints and muscles. It contours to your natural shape and cradles your body while you sleep. That means it doesn’t leave gaps between the mattress topper and your neck, hips and other pressure points. When you get out of bed or change position, the Talalay latex bounces back to its original thickness. You also can choose your ideal firmness level: soft, medium or firm.
Choose Hypoallergenic or Cooling Cover
Do allergies keep you awake at night? Or maybe you tend to sleep hot. Either way, the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper lets you choose the right zippered cover for your sleep needs. If you wake up with itchy eyes and a sniffly nose, the hypoallergenic organic cotton cover may be the best option. If you tired of waking up in a sweat, you can choose the cooling, silky circular knit cover. It’s one more feature to love about this latex mattress topper.
Removable and Washable Cover
You can’t beat the soothing feeling of a fresh, clean sleep surface. It’s a fact of life that sweat and dander build up on a mattress topper. Thanks to the zippered cover, however, it’s easy to keep the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper clean and fresh. Just unzip and remove the cotton or circular knit cover and toss it in the washing machine.
Planet-Friendly Material
If planet-friendly products are a must for your home and family, you can rest easy when you choose the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper. Natural Talalay latex is a sustainable, highly renewable material obtained from rubber trees.
Secondly, the latex foam is OEKO-Tex certified, which means that it meets strict safety standards. To obtain this certification, it must pass rigorous tests to prove it is free of more than 100 harmful substances. You won’t have to lose sleep over bringing the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper into your home.
Ships In a Box
After you order your Talalay Latex Mattress Topper, all you have to do is wait for it to arrive at your door. No need to drive to a store and then transport your mattress topper to your home. It’s shipped in a box directly to your home, even if you’re not there. Just bring the container indoors to your bedroom and unbox your new mattress topper.
Odor After Unboxing
Speaking of unboxing, you may notice an odor after you unpack your new mattress topper. Known as “off-gassing,” this odor is common in new mattresses or mattress toppers. Thanks to the OEKO-Tex certification, you can be sure that the odor is harmless. Still, you may want to air out the topper for about 24 hours before using it. That “new topper smell” should dissipate after about one day in a well-ventilated area.

Won’t Compensate for a Sagging Mattress
The Talalay Latex Mattress Topper is designed to add a luxurious three-inch layer of comfort to your mattress. The latex foam can improve the comfort level of a mattress that is in good condition. Since the topper conforms to the shape of the mattress, however, it won’t necessarily improve the comfort of a sagging or indented mattress.
Warranty and Returns
When shopping for the best mattress topper for your home, the decision is easier when the product comes with a warranty. Brooklyn Bedding backs their mattress toppers with a 3-year full replacement warranty. The warranty covers defects that occur during normal usage but does not include damage from liquid spills or misuse of the topper. Make sure you check warranty terms before you buy your mattress topper, because warranty terms can change.
You can exchange or return your Talalay Latex Mattress Topper for a full refund within 30 days after delivery. You must provide your own packing materials, but Brooklyn Bedding will cover the shipping charge (except for returns to Alaska, Hawaii and Canada).
A Final Word on the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper
In our opinion, the Brooklyn Bedding’s 3” Talalay Latex Mattress Topper offers features that you would expect from the best mattress toppers. From the buoyant latex layer to the customized firmness levels, this product can help consumers get a comfortable night’s sleep. Even better, you can have a new sleep surface without buying a pricey new mattress.
Talalay latex is a sustainable, responsive material that creates a luxurious sleep surface. It’s an ideal material for a mattress topper. The topper is OKEO-Tex certified free of more than 100 harmful chemicals. You’ll look forward to relaxing on this natural, luxurious mattress topper. It conforms to your body, yet it bounces back when you change position.
Another comfort feature is the choice of zippered covers. A cooling, circular knit cover is available for those who sleep hot. The organic cotton option provides a hypoallergenic surface. Both covers are removable and washable to make cleaning easy.
As if that weren’t enough, you also get to choose the firmness of your Talalay Latex Mattress Topper. After all, comfort is what a mattress topper is all about. Choose a soft, medium or firm topper to match standard mattress sizes, from twin to Cal King.
Convenience is always a plus these days. That’s why we love that the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper ships in a box to your home. No need to hassle with transporting your new topper from the store. Just go about your day and your mattress topper will be waiting at your door when you get home.
There are some minor limitations to keep in mind. When you unbox the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper, you may notice an unpleasant odor. This “off-gassing” is harmless, but you may want to air out your new mattress topper for a day or so be using it.
Another consideration is the fact that a mattress topper cannot necessarily make an old, sagging mattress more comfortable. If your mattress sags or has deep indentations, your topper will conform to that uncomfortable surface. If your existing mattress is in good condition, however, the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper can enhance comfort and pressure relief.
Finally, the Talalay Latex Mattress Topper comes with a 3-year full replacement warranty. Brooklyn Bedding will also cover most shipping charges if you return or exchange the topper with 30 days after delivery. Check for updated terms on mattresstopper.com official site.
After our research and review, it is our opinion that the 3” Talalay Latex Mattress Topper is a quality product that offers value to consumers.
