Hello, I am cutting up a 100% Natural Talalay king size bed. I am now wishing I had had the furniture movers take it away. This is just too much for one person do handle! (at least for me) My question is this: How bad is it to breathe the dust coming from cutting the latex pieces? Thank you!!
Hello Sleepytime1
Thank you kindly for your inquiry. Natural Talalay latex foam is certified against the off-gassing of harmful chemicals, as well as V.O.C.s (Volatile Organic Compounds), and therefore is a safe and natural foam to SLEEP on. With that said, even though it is a natural foam, I would not recommend breathing in latex “dust”. Full disclosure: I am not a medical professional - but I do know that breathing in any type of particles, be it natural or otherwise can cause issues with your lungs if you breathe enough in over time.
For more (professional) information on this matter, I would advise contacting a medical professional.
Thanks again for your question. Please feel free to call our office as well should you need to discuss further. - Latex Mattress Factory 800-637-0872
