Natural latex pillows. I have a shredded latex pillow that came with my latex mattress and it's the best pillow I have ever had.

I love latex foam pillows. I’ve never used the shredded kind but the solid ones are great. They are apparently good for dust allergies which I have.

I have two latex foam pillows and I love them. I got them at BB&B years ago but I cannot find them anymore and I want another one. Where did you gets yours?

I think it was Amazon. I looked in stores for a long time to find a replacement for my very very old one but couldn’t find one anywhere. I’m in Canada so they might be more available other places.

Same, got a set of shredded latex pillows with my sleepez mattress. At first my wife and I were like "these are weird" but we decided to give them a shot. I love it now. She still prefers a more firm pillow under her head but likes the shredded latex pillow between her knees at night.

Latex like the stuff they put in gloves? That doesn’t sound as comfy as say a down pillow. What’s so great about it

It's latex (rubber) sap straight from the tree. It is whipped into a foam poured into a mold and baked. It is supportive and springy/bouncy unlike memory foam, but it still contours to your body. The latex foam doesn't break down and sag like memory foam from what I have read. I have only had my mattress and pillows for about 2 years, so I can't really comment much on the actual longevity. Also I have never had a solid latex pillow only shredded so I can't say much about those.

Is latex breathable, washable? I suspect not so much... I'm lost but thank you! :)

Very breathable. The solid latex pillows typically have lots of perforations for air circulation. I just got two of these pillows from Brooklyn Bedding, and I didn’t know a pillow could make me so happy:

It feels like the perfect combination of supportive and soft. I’ve had a latex mattress for several years and absolutely love it, so I figured I’d also like a latex pillow. I haven’t tried washing them yet, but they come with an organic cotton cover that’s washable. They recommend spot cleaning the latex inserts.

I second the latex.

Your not gonna find one you like without researching the specific material and finding the specific pillows then spending hundreds to thousands ordering and trying them all. That’s what I had to do anyway. I wound up at latex.

Very breathable and not anything like memory foam. Latex doesn't sleep hot like memory foam, and latex actually has bounce to it unlike memory foam.
