100% Natural Talalay Latex Latex Sleeping Bed Pillow – Luxury Extra Soft Pillow for Side, Back, and Stomach Sleepers - Removable Breathable Cotton Cover - Extra Soft (Standard (Extra Soft))

The media could not be loaded. Bottom line: I’ve been sleeping with this pillow for about a week now and can confirm it’s a keeper.I am a small-framed side sleeper who has a habit of sleeping directly on top of her shoulder, and has rotated upper cervical vertebrae that causes some chronic neck pain. I also have the no-no bedtime habit of hanging out on my phone while in bed (sometimes for many hours at a time. Apologies to my sleep specialist…). This combo tends to make pillow shopping somewhat complex!I used a SleepEZ latex pillow for probably a decade before going through my options last year like Goldilocks, from the Purple Pillow (too hard) to the Coop Eden (great when the fluff is in one place, which is unfortunately rare)…After getting a Dunlop variation latex topper for our new bed, I was curious to try a Talaylay process latex pillow “just to see.” I’d been growing increasingly frustrated with the latter of the two pillows mentioned above because I wasn’t able to perch my face on the edge to use my phone without all the fluff displacing and leaving me on empty pillowcase. It also ran pretty warm, despite “cooling properties” in the shredded foam. Bummer for an already-hot sleeper.I found this while browsing frustratedly after waking up overheated at 4:30am — I read the mixed reviews, noted the reasonable price, thought “okay, why not — I can always return it if it’s a no-go,” and hit purchase. I also got a more expensive Talaylay latex pillow from Amazon at the same time so I could compare them. This one was the winner.It is so light and fluffy, like freshly baked bread with an odd-yet-satisfying jiggle to it. The shape is oddly cute as well, and with the sheer cotton cover, everything about it reminds me of some kind of East Asian pastry, like Japanese cheesecake?It’s *really* soft, like ridiculously soft, but your head will not sink all the way to the bottom like it will on memory foam. And, unlike memory foam, it will not become indented over time, does not off-gas toxic chemical smell (just a kind of rubbery vanilla wood scent that is non-toxic to humans), and it doesn’t retain heat at ALL.I took a chance with the high loft, after being turned off after years of lying on the dense, low SleepEZ. I didn’t realize how old, heavy, yellowed, and firm at the edges it had become with time until I had my hands on this brand new latex pillow. It’s felt ever so slightly too high for me, but my body is also adjusting to our new mattress and topper, and considering it’s already pretty close to perfect, I think I will adjust to it completely in no time.For those saying it’s firm, it’s REALLY not. It might have the illusion of firmness because of that durable latex sensation that keeps your head afloat on top (or slightly above the middle, in the case of this super-soft pillow) rather than allowing you to sink into it or bottom out like other materials. I can assure you this is as soft as it looks — poofy, buoyant, spongy, airy, light, bouncy, cake-like, squishy — *supportive*, but not firm.It actually feels a lot like the Coconut Bliss pillow sold at Mattress Firm, at least in sensation upon first inspection (the similarities end there).HOT TIP: If you’re not used to latex, you may find yourself straining to keep your head steady on the pillow because of said jiggle. Relax your head and neck — you’re not going to fall off!While latex certainly isn’t for everyone due to the jello-ish, floaty nature of it, this is the one for me. I really really like it, and encourage you to make the switch to latex if you’re interested :)

Soft and cushy, but you only sink about half way into it before it starts to firm up, so you really can't bottom out the way you do with feathers or the loose darkness filled types. None of the hot sleep sensation I get from the solid foam pillows, and absolutely light years better than the lumpy chopped foam garbage. It did have a slight odor upon opening, but that dissipated enough during the day that I never noticed it once I put a pillowcase on it and slept on it. I can still smell a tiny bit of vanilla-ish kinda scent after one night, but only if I bury my face in it. Side sleeping I don't smell a thing. Still way better than the chemical smells from the foam junk.

Best pillow EVER 😁

I shockingly really like this pillow. It’s not to hard or soft just in the middle.

The cover is very thin and sheer but does have a zipper. This particular pillow is soft, not extra soft so I dinged it one star. It's nice that Amazon sells latex pillows but this is the same softness as another brand's 'soft'. Very difficult item to buy online as you really need a bin of them to go through to get the one that fits you best. I wish they would come back in local stores like Bed Bath & Beyond, Penney's, and Sears where I got mine in the past. This is a basic middle-class staple that got pushed out by memory foam and is too expensive for stores like Walmart and Target.

Owe my goodness theses pillows are the thing every. And I will never buy another memory foam pillow again now that I got two of these pillows . I’ve been looking so hard for a pillow like these and I have bought so many pillows look for a pillow like these they are so perfect for me and I just might buy all that they got thank for inventing such a wonderful product and my boyfriend thinks the same thing I do about them thanks you in a big way

I love this pillow. For some people it's too soft but I have searched for a long time for a pillow that works for me and this is it. I just purchased another one so that I have a backup.

Gave this product 3 stars.It's comfortable, breathes well, and has a light odor upon unboxing.Downside is that it's a little thinner / smaller than I would prefer. Not that your head touches the bed when you use it (unless you have a massive noggin), but some might find it doesn't offer enough support for a back or side sleeper.Overall, it's kind of pricey for a latex pillow, but its quality is consistent and it had a mild smell, which is excellent for odor sensitive people. They could stand to make it a tad thicker to better cover side sleepers.
