Goodyear took liquid latex, the sap of the rubber tree, and beat it until it frothed up into air filled foam. When war stopped the flow of this sap, Goodyear attempted to make Airfoam from the man made latex used in the production of synthetic tires. It was a no go. so they created a new sap. It took to years to do it. But today Airfoam made from this new synthetic latex gives you the same comfort you knew before. In prewar Airfoam. In mint condition.
