ABOUT US
Our Heritage
As part of the famous Dunlop brand, scientist E A Murphy used his wife’s cake mixer to try and produce foam using the natural liquid latex. The Dunlopillo latex foam was patented in 1929 and began to be used in padded seats on trains and trolley buses.

Production Begins
In 1931, manufacturing began for the first Dunlopillo latex mattress. It was popular because of its natural ability to stay fresh and it maintained its shape without the need to plump or flip it.

Kiwis Love Latex
Dunlopillo came to New Zealand from the UK in the early part of the 20th century. Kiwis were introduced to latex off the back of the it being one of the world’s most loved mattresses.

Dunlopillo Today
Today, Dunlopillo is known in New Zealand for it’s beautiful latex feel and uniqueness. We’re constantly innovating to bring new technologies, natural fibres & materials into our mattresses so you know you’re sleeping on the best.
The Sustainable Sleep
When you sleep on Dunlopillo, you sleep on the softness of a natural latex mattress that’s come from the sap of rubber trees grown in sustainable plantations around the world.
BEAUTIFUL COTTON
We’ve sourced soft and breathable organic cotton fibre to form part of Dunlopillo’s quilting & smooth top covers. Cotton was chosen to complement our natural mattress range because of its moisture wicking abilities.
THE TENCEL TOUCH
Ecofriendly Tencel fibres complete our natural Dunlopillo mattresses. Tencel is derived from wood pulp and is 50% better than cotton at wicking away moisture so it makes for a more comfortable night’s sleep.
