The latex is then passed to a latex refinery, where it is blended and improved for use mattress and pillow designs. When the latex has been mixed to a perfect HT blend it is whipped up into foam and poured into moulds with pin holes made in pillow and mattress shapes and baked for 30 minutes. The pins in the mold create air holes in the pillow that enhance the natural breathability of the latex foam.
The entire process is so similar to making a cake that in the early days of latex foam manufacturing the machines for mixing and baking cakes and mixing and baking latex foam were exactly the same.

Today there are many different processes for making latex foam, each retaining the basic steps listed above while adding some nuances that provide something unique to the end product.
