Natural Living Concept makes 100% natural latex mattresses, pillows and toppers by hand in its own workshop in Prawet, Bangkok.

Choose one of our natural latex mattresses in six sizes, have a custom size mattress made for any other bed, ask about our mattresses for hotels, or come and lie on one in our mattress showroom in Bangkok.

From tree to bed

One block of 100% natural latex, from the sap of the rubber tree, under a quilted cotton cover.

The work starts at midnight. The rubber trees are tapped in the dark, in the coolest hours, because that is when the latex runs best. It runs from a slanting cut in the bark into a cup hung below, for about four hours, until it sets by itself. The tapping stops at first light. In full sun the latex would thicken. The same tree is tapped for more than thirty years. Our latex comes from a supplier about two hours from Bangkok.

Raw materials

In a factory in Bangkok the latex is beaten with seven times its volume of air, steamed forty-five minutes in its mould and washed three times. Our workshop makes the covers by hand and finishes every mattress.

The making

$Looking down on a rubber tree: a thread of white latex runs down a metal spout into a black cup full to the brim with white latex.$
The cup fills for about four hours.
$Three thick slabs of perforated latex stacked on a white table in a factory hall, the top slab covered in rows of pin holes, slits cut along the sides of the lower slabs.$
