Latex International (LI),
the exclusive U.S-based Talalay
latex producer and largest
supplier of latex mattress
components in North America, and
Hickory Springs, a leading
manufacturer of polyurethane and
innerspring products for the
bedding industry, have signed a
national latex distribution
agreement.
The distribution agreement is in
effect immediately. Hickory
Springs will stock, promote, and
distribute Latex International’s
key Talalay latex products
across the country, including
specialty items such as Celsion®
temperature regulating latex,
NuForm® progressive recovery
latex, and EverCloud® quiltable
latex.
“Our joint commitment to
innovation, combined with
Hickory’s large number of plants
provides a great opportunity to
provide even better service to
smaller mattress manufacturers
across North America. This
relationship will help many
mattress plants better manage
their supply chain which is
especially beneficial in a
challenging economy where all
manufacturers and retailers are
facing headwinds,” stated Kevin
Coleman, President and CEO of
Latex International.
“Latex International produces
the highest quality latex foam
in the world. This technology
complements our vast portfolio
of polyurethane and innerspring

excited about the opportunity to

specialty sleep products and
help grow our business, “ added
