Because of our extensive knowledge base, we source only the highest quality materials for our mattresses. When you purchase a mattress from Latexpedic, you can be confident that it is composed of; 100% all-natural Talalay latex, organic cotton, organic lambswool and a chemical free fire barrier.

Every one of our natural latex bed begins from within a tree. The liquid latex is harvested from the tropical Hevea Brasiliensis tree and turned into natural latex cores, which we then use to build our high-quality mattresses. The lambswool found in our mattress covers is sourced locally from farms located in central California, supporting local farmers and California’s economy. We are always looking for ways to reduce the footprint of our business on the environment and use manufacturing methods that are eco-friendly and environmentally

 

Our Story

It all began in 1964, when Mr. Kraus started a business manufacturing adjustable beds…

During a business trip through Europe in 1987, Henry Krauss stopped at a small hotel in Switzerland. There he discovered one of the most comfortable mattresses he had ever encountered. This came as quite a surprise to him, as he had already been in the business of sleep products for some years and had invented and assisted in the development of many products.

After waking up refreshed and without his usual back pain, he decided he would stay another night. Was this mattress really a “miracle mattress”? He was hoping to answer that question through an additional night’s stay.

Once again he woke up refreshed and without back pain. He decided then and there that he would purchase one of these “miracle mattresses” for his home when he returned to the United States.

When he returned home be began to search for a store that sold the mattress he slept on or at least something comparable. He soon found that it was not to be, these types of mattresses were not sold in the United States. He was shocked.

The mattress had made such an impression upon him that he could not just let it go. He decided to make a special trip back to that same hotel and find out not where they were sold, but where they were manufactured. He was convinced that not only he could benefit from this all-natural mattress, but many others as well. High shipping costs made the importing of this unique product to the United States prohibitive. So what would he do? Henry Krauss decided to ship several of these mattresses back to the United States so he could work to duplicate and improve the manufacturing process. This was the beginning of the development of the Latexpedic mattresses.

For the past 30 years, Latexpedic 100% Talalay latex mattresses have provided our clients with superior comfort and peace of mind. Many innovations and refinements have been made over the years to continue Henry Kraus’ tradition of innovation and pursuit of the best night’s sleep.

The Latexpedic Factory is now run by Henry Kraus' son, Lloyd Kraus
