• Latex. Characterized by high elasticity and are able to soften even the most rigid base. By origin distinguish types of natural latex (derived from rubber tree - hevea), artificial fiber, coconut coir with the addition of latex polymers (the best option for optimal support of the developing spine of the crumb).
• Combined. Such fillers are made of several layers at once. The most common combinations: cotton fiber and a synthetic component (polyester or hollofiber), cotton and wool, microfiber with a polyurethane membrane layer.
