Latex International

Talalay Global, formerly known as Latex International, is the world's leading manufacturer of Talalay latex foam, serving the bedding, furniture, and medical supply industries. Headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut, the company produces high-quality latex mattresses, pillows, and toppers known for their breathability, durability, and hypoallergenic properties. In the healthcare sector, its products are utilized for pressure-redistribution surfaces and orthopedic support, helping to prevent conditions such as pressure ulcers in clinical settings. The company utilizes a proprietary multi-stage Talalay process involving vacuuming, freezing, and vulcanizing to create a consistent open-cell structure. Following a Chapter 11 reorganization in 2014, the company rebranded from Latex International to Talalay Global and was acquired by a group of private investors including Artilat.
