If you are concerned about exposure to chemicals, go for a natural or organic latex pillow.<\/p>\n
If you are looking for something cheaper, get a blended latex pillow<\/strong>. It consists of natural and synthetic latex.<\/p>\n Something else to consider is whether you\u2019d like a shredded latex pillow<\/strong>. This is a pillow containing shredded pieces of latex foam rather than one solid piece of foam.<\/p>\n A shredded latex foam hugs your neck and head more effectively. It\u2019s a good choice for those who want a latex pillow that feels a bit like a memory foam pillow.<\/p>\n If you sleep hot, look for a latex pillow with micro holes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Latex foam already sleeps cool; a pillow with holes sleeps even cooler. It\u2019s helpful if you have hot flashes or night sweats.<\/p>\n The holes increase breathability and heat dissipation.<\/p>\n Next, consider the kind of cover the pillow comes with.<\/p>\n This is an easy one; a cotton cover is the best one for most people. Luckily, most pillows have a cotton cover, usually made from organic cotton.<\/p>\n Cotton is soft, comfortable and breathable. It easily absorbs sweat and dissipates excess heat.<\/p>\n Other cover options include bamboo, Tencell and polyester.<\/p>\n Loft refers to the height of the mattress. This one is very important for comfort and to avoid neck pain.<\/p>\n The ideal loft depends on your sleeping position and body physique.<\/p>\n Also consider your physique. Wide shoulders and a bigger head call for a higher pillow.<\/p>\n Latex pillows don\u2019t have the plush feel associated with memory foam pillows. They generally range between medium firm and firm.<\/p>\n Stomach sleepers need a firm pillow with very little hug. For back and side sleepers, we recommend a medium firm latex pillow that provides some contouring.<\/p>\n Finally, decide whether a contoured or cervical pillow would be more comfortable to a traditional flat or curved pillow.<\/p>\n A cervical pillow is designed to provide better neck and head support. It has raised edges to support your neck and a groove in the middle for your head.<\/p>\n A cervical pillow is best for side and back sleepers who have neck pain. But you can use it even if you don\u2019t have any neck problems.<\/p>\n A note on maintenance and cleaning: <\/strong>Never wash a latex pillow. It will break down and experience permanent damage. Only wash the removable cover as per the manufacturer\u2019s instructions. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Dunlopillo Super Comfort is a natural latex pillow with a medium-firm to firm feel.<\/p>\n Its high loft makes it a good choice for back and side sleepers, especially those with a bigger body and wide shoulders.<\/p>\n The pillow is made from Talalay latex, which is better quality than the cheaper Dunlop latex.<\/p>\n The latex foam feels firm but bouncy. But it\u2019s not too firm that it feels like a rock. You\u2019ll still feel a bit of a hug around your head and neck.<\/p>\n Being a latex pillow, it\u2019s already naturally cool. To enhance cooling, the Dunlopillo Super Comfort comes with a breathable design that improves ventilation.<\/p>\n You never feel stuffy or sweaty.<\/p>\n Something else you\u2019ll love about the Super Comfort pillow is the lack of smell. That\u2019s because it is natural latex.<\/p>\n Unlike synthetic latex and memory foam pillows, you don\u2019t have to air it before sleeping on it. If you sense any odour, it\u2019s very mild and goes away quickly.<\/p>\n The pillow comes in just one size: 40 by 68cm.<\/p>\n It\u2019s wrapped in a soft knitted cover that you can remove and wash.<\/p>\n This pack may seem pricey at first but for two pillows, it\u2019s actually a bargain. Get this set if you are a couple looking for new pillows or you want a spare pillow for your guest bed.<\/p>\n These are medium-loft pillows with a height of 4.7\u201d (12cm). They are best for side, back and combo sleepers.<\/p>\n Bigger-bodied stomach sleepers may also find them comfortable.<\/p>\n The most noticeable feature of these Italian-made pillows is the series of pores on the surface. These are for ventilation.<\/p>\n They improve the pillow\u2019s breathability, allowing heat and sweat to dissipate quickly.<\/p>\n If you have night sweats or you sleep hot, this is the best natural latex pillow. It feels cool no matter the weather or season.<\/p>\n The natural latex provides protection against dust mites, bacteria and various allergens.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t have a chemical smell that\u2019s common with new memory foam mattresses.<\/p>\n In terms of feel, the Marcapiuma pillows have a medium to firm feel. They are also responsive (bouncy), which helps if you turn and toss a lot at night.<\/p>\n Each pillow measures 42cm by 72cm.<\/p>\n Each comes with a stretch Jersey cover that is removable and washable.<\/p>\n We recommend the UUQ Latex Pillow if you have shoulder or neck pain. This pillow provides the best neck and shoulder support thanks to its contoured orthopaedic design.<\/p>\n It will also help if your pillow causes back pain.<\/p>\n The raised edges support your neck at the right height, ensuring it\u2019s properly aligned to your spine. The sunken middle supports and contours your neck.<\/p>\n The UUQ latex pillow works great for side and back sleepers. It\u2019s not for stomach sleepers.<\/p>\n The pillow is made from premium Talalay latex. It feels firm and springy but not rock hard. It provides just the right amount of hug to protect your neck from pressure.<\/p>\n The latex is non-deforming. After a night\u2019s sleep, it bounces back to its original shape. Even after years of use, it doesn\u2019t sag or deform.<\/p>\n The manufacturer stands behind the pillow with a lifetime warranty \u2013 it\u2019s that durable.<\/p>\n The UUQ pillow sleeps cool and has natural anti-bacterial properties. It is also hypoallergenic and resistant to mould, mildew and dust mites.<\/p>\n The pillow measures 58cm by 40cm. It\u2019s 12cm (4.7\u201d) thick along the edges and 10cm (3.9\u201d) thick at the centre.<\/p>\n The cover is made from soft breathable cotton and you can remove it for washing.<\/p>\n If you are a stomach sleeper, the Dunlopillo Super Comfort is a bit too high for your comfort. We recommend the Serenity Deluxe instead.<\/p>\n It is a slim profile latex pillow that works great for side sleepers. Some stomach and combo sleepers will also find it comfortable.<\/p>\n It feels softer than the Super Comfort. It has a soft to medium feel. If you love a soft pillow that conforms to your head and neck, the Serenity Deluxe is a great choice.<\/p>\n With a 5-year guarantee, you can be sure the pillow can easily withstand years of use. The latex does not deform or degrade.<\/p>\n Just make sure never to wash the pillow.<\/p>\n Only clean the removable cotton cover.<\/p>\n The pillow measures 44cm by 70cm.<\/p>\n It has a loft of 11cm (4.3\u201d).<\/p>\n While Dunlop latex lacks the premium quality of Talalay latex, it\u2019s a good choice for those who want a firm pillow.<\/p>\n The Yanis latex is firm and high (5.5\u201d\/14cm loft), making it ideal for side and back sleepers, especially those with wide shoulders.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s not rock hard. It has that soft springy feel common with latex mattresses. So you still get a nice comfortable hug around your head and neck.<\/p>\n As soon as you lift your head, it springs back into shape.<\/p>\n Most customers bought the Yanis as a replacement for their old Dunlopillo. It\u2019s comparable in feel and comfort to the Super Comfort pillow.<\/p>\n If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to Dunlopillo, we recommend Yanis.<\/p>\n The Dunlop latex is 100% natural. There are no chemicals or synthetic latex blended in. That means no smells.<\/p>\n The natural latex is also anti-bacterial and resistant to mould, mildew and dust mite.<\/p>\n It comes with a soft cotton cover that\u2019s removable and washable.<\/p>\n Dimensions are 40cm by 65cm.<\/p>\n Latex cannot go in the washing machine, as the high temperatures and fast drying can affect the structure. They need to be hand washed<\/strong> using laundry powder and warm water for best effect.<\/p>\n Place the pillow into a bathtub<\/strong> or large container, and pour over your soapy liquid.<\/p>\n Squeeze the pillow gently<\/strong> until you see soap swirling in the water, the leave it to soak <\/strong>for a few minutes, and squeeze it again a few times.<\/p>\n Empty out the water, then run clear water <\/strong>over the pillow and gently squeeze it again. Empty out the water again<\/strong>, then run more water over the pillow. Repeat this again until the water runs clear.<\/p>\n Press the excess water from the pillow<\/strong>, then leave it to dry on top of a towel, in the sun or in front of a fan.<\/p>\n It is simple to cut a latex pillow down to a size that is comfortable to you, and you don\u2019t need a lot of fancy equipment to do so – just an electric knife, two tables, and a little lubricating spray.<\/p>\n There are a great many bed supplies shops that you can go into, where you can actually touch, feel and look at your new latex pillow.<\/p>\n You should be able to find one of these shops in your nearest large town, where you can talk to someone and get advice on the best latex pillow there is. If you already know what you want, then you can just hop online and choose the best latex pillow out there.<\/p>\n This method also has the advantage of offering discount codes and all sorts of money off, to help you find your new pillow for less than you would on the high street!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A latex pillow is a great choice if you don\u2019t like the feel of memory foam or fibrefill pillows. It\u2019s also a good choice for those who are looking for a pillow that\u2019s a bit firm, responsive and sleeps cool. Like any other pillow, latex pillows come in different styles, sizes and materials. You can get an extra-firm or soft pillow, a shredded latex or solid latex pillow, a high or low loft pillow and so on. The most important thing to consider is your sleeping position.
