As a buyer, understanding your supplier’s production process isn’t just a bonus it’s a necessity. At MAUS Industries, we believe in full transparency, which is why we’re giving you an inside look at how your latex mattress core is made from tapping the first drop of latex to loading it into a container bound for your factory.

1. Rubber Tapping: Where It All Begins

Malaysia is home to some of the world’s highest-grade rubber trees. Every core starts with latex milk tapped sustainably from Hevea brasiliensis trees. Our sourcing prioritizes:

  • Environmentally responsible plantations
  • Fair trade practices
  • Clean tapping methods to prevent contamination

2. Filtration and Purification

Once harvested, the raw latex is transported to our certified production facility. Here, we filter out impurities and stabilize the liquid latex through:

  • Controlled mixing
  • De-ammoniation (to reduce odor and prolong shelf life)
  • Quality control sampling

This ensures a clean, consistent base material the foundation of a durable mattress core.

3. Molding Into Mattress Cores

Here’s where innovation meets tradition. The latex is poured into precision-engineered molds based on client specifications. We offer:

  • Single-zone and multi-zone core designs
  • Custom density requests (from soft to extra firm)
  • Variable core sizes (twin to king, European specs, and more)

4. Curing, Washing & Drying

After molding, every core is:

  • Cured to stabilize internal structure
  • Washed multiple times to remove residual proteins or impurities

These phase process enhances:

  • Durability
  • Cleanliness (ideal for allergy-sensitive markets)
  • Resistance to sagging

5. In-House Quality Testing
