Hairlok - Horse Hair Comfort Layer Mattress

SHARE

Enkev``s Hairlok is made purely from natural animal hair and natural latex. Hairlok is ideal for distributing pressure over pocket springs without limiting the point elasticity that the pockets provide. Hairlok`s flexibility means it can even be used as a comfort layer. Hairlok`s high point elasticity and three-dimensional strength are its main functional attributes. And it`s 100% natural. Scientific tests have proven that horse hair creates an excellent micro-climate, keeping us comfortable in warm and cold conditions. The quick-drying property of horse hair is perfect for a mattress or a seat because body temperatures are often transformed into moisture in the form of perspiration. If you feel dry, you feel better.

Enkev spins the hair into ropes to create thousands of natural micro-springs, resulting in enduring resilience. Then the ropes are transformed into sheets before being sprayed with natural latex, a fully renewable material, to provide them with structure and elasticity. Natural latex is inherently hypo-allergenic, antimicrobial and dust-mite-resistant, making it perfect for allergy sufferers.

Nature constantly replenishes these materials, which are unsurpassed in resilience, durability and ventilation. Animal hair is normally discarded as waste, but Enkev reuses this wonderful material and gives it a new purpose in life.

Hairlok’s open and resilient structure creates a perfect micro-climate. Its superb shock-absorbing properties makes it suitable for mattresses, furniture, car seats, filters, packaging etc. The structure also absorbs sound and certain waves, making the material excellent as a thermal and acoustic insulation product.

Hairlok can be treated with natural additives to meet a range of international fire retardancy standards.

Horse Hair

Scientific tests have proven that horse hair creates an excellent micro-climate, keeping us comfortable in warm and cold conditions. Horse hair is very resilient by nature and has fantastic ventilating properties. The hollow fibre transports humidity away from the body and ensures a comfortable micro-climate.

Horsehair is used by the top-quality bedding manufacturers and upholsterers to provide their products with greater durability and comfort. These manufacturers use hair in both divans and mattresses with traditional ‘hand-made’ production techniques. This type of hair is extensively used by all the premium-quality manufacturers in the UK and Europe.

Natural Latex

Enkev uses natural latex as a binder and resilience enhancer in our rubberized and needled products. Apart from that we sell latex cores in a wide range of sizes and densities for mattress production.

Enkev takes its responsibility as a producer very seriously. We like to take care of nature as much as she takes care of us.

Our latex is 100% natural, is completely biodegradable, uses a lot less energy in production compared to synthetic rubber, and uses no health enhancing chemicals or masking agents.

For many years, our products have been certified by world-renowned institutes such QUL-institute (Qualitäts-Verband Umweltfreundliche Latexmatratzen) in Cologne, Germany, the LGA (Landesgewerbeansalt) Nürnberg, Germany and RRIM (Rubber Research Institute Malaysia). All our products are hygienic, nontoxic, non-carcinogenic, hypoallergenic and dust-free.

Conclusion: natural rubber is pretty natural if compared with synthetic alternatives.

Rubberising

The spun natural fibres are shaped into a fleece and sprayed with latex as part of the production process. The latex binds the curled fibres which are then pressed and vulcanised in several layers into resilient Hairlok® and Cocolok® sheets.

This process leads to sheets with a very open and resilient structure Sheets like this provide a good micro climate. On top of that it has good shock absorbing properties. This is good for insulation, mattresses, furniture, car seats, filters, packaging etc. The structure also absorbs sounds and certain waves. So it also makes a good insulation product. Both thermal as accoustical.
