Our Unique Supply Chain Integration (AOI) :
To manufacture one ‘queen size’ natural latex mattress, it requires a daily collection of latex from over 2000 rubber trees. This alone speaks for the extent of rubber plantations required to meet container loads of mattresses for the global markets. Producing quality latex mattresses have been a challenge for many manufacturers around the world, owing to their lack of access to superior quality latex sap. We, Richard Pieris Natural Foams Ltd, source all our raw latex from our own FSC certified Kegalle Plantations which produces the best natural latex in the world and we are recognized as the largest and the best natural rubber manufacturer in the country.
