Here’s a fun tidbit straight from the CozyPure® website and catalog:
Legend has it that an Indian woman once came across a tree that appeared to be shedding white teardrops. Believing the tree was crying, she saw it as something mystical and profound. However, we now know those “tears” were actually the natural sap seeping from the bark of the Rubber Tree. This sap, known as latex, would go on to become a valuable resource for early civilizations.
Long before modern manufacturing, people discovered ingenious ways to use this natural rubber sap. They crafted waterproof clothing and shoes and even made little bouncing balls that provided endless hours of entertainment. Who would have guessed that those humble “teardrops” would someday become the foundation of countless innovations?
Fast forward to today, and we’ve learned how to harness the natural properties of the rubber tree to create something truly extraordinary: sleeping surfaces that are as comfortable and durable as they are safe and sustainable. Natural latex, derived from the sap of the rubber tree, provides unparalleled support, long-lasting resilience, and a sleep experience free from harmful chemicals. It’s a beautiful way to bring nature into your bedroom while ensuring a healthier, happier night’s rest.
So next time you lay down on a natural latex mattress, remember the story of the Rubber Tree’s tears—and the journey from a tree in the forest to the cozy comfort of your bed.
Sleep well,
