Your Favorite Latex Pillow?

I would love to hear from everyone with a latex pillow that they really like a lot.  We have a new latex mattress and are now looking for a good pillow.  We are both side sleepers and when we went to try latex at a European Sleep Systems store locally, they had some wonderful pillows ($160/queen) and they determined we needed one to be Firm 1 and one to be Medium 2.  I don't want to pay that much.  I saw some on Overstock and Ebay but would love to hear your thoughts.  Thanks!  I tried to do a search here on pillows, but didn't find much information.

Wow, I've been gone a few days and glad to read all the responses about the latex pillows!  I think I am going to purchase one from Overstock.com.  Are the ones from Sears and Penneys the good latex from L.I.?


Yes, the Sears and the Penneys I got are both from L.I.  Though Natalie's tag said something else, but I believe hers is too.  They are private labeling I guess for JCP and Sears.  If you go to LI website it shows pillows are made by them for Sears, JCP and I believe Bed Bath and Beyond.  But BBB is more if you get the pillows on sale at Penneys or Sears.

I love my queen size one, the standard wasn't thick enough.  I never get neck aches anymore.

 

Click here for LI link, when you click the link for Sears it will take you to their website and the latex pillow.  That was how I knew it was the same one.  I clicked on the link for JCP and they are having 2 for 1 sale. yesdevil

 

Yippe Admin fixed the hyperlink, you only have to click the hyperlink icon once and it works!!!

That's strange that the LI link takes me to JC Penney's pillows. This is the same pillow I purchased that says "Filled by Louisville Bedding Co." on the tag. Is Louisville Bedding a subsidiary of Latex International?

No I believe the Louisville Bedding Co. is the one that supplies the cover.  They seem to be private label for different companies, so they don't put the LI name on.  The do the same thing for mattress manufacturers.  Good pillows aren't they?

Well as a consumer I'd rather know who makes the latex over who stuffs it into the case! Yes really nice pillow, and reasonably priced too!yes

Leo3 and narnia:  I appreciate your input!  I bought 2 Simmons latex foam pillows about 2+years ago (before I had ever heard of latex foam)  and cannot use them. Neither can the hubby.  We sink down too far into them and don't seem to have any real support on our necks, just flatness.  I just checked the tag on them and it does say Louisville Bedding Co also and talalay foam with a 10 year guarantee.  Based on this, I am wondering if you could describe your pillows or the way they feel as sinking down into them?  I know this is a very subjective answer and 10 people would probably have 10 answers, but I would appreciate your thoughts!  Does the Nature's Loft pillow do this too?  I want my head to sink in some but still support my neck.

What size are they?  If they are standard they are too flat for me.  I like Queen size one I got at Sears.  I bought a standard at JC Penneys, zoned, and you sink in that one.  I use the zoned one for between the knees.

Go look at Sears and JCP at the Queen size ones, they are fatter, and I don't feel like I am sinking in, I love it.  I have tried all kinds of pillows too.  I am super picky and finicky.  If you lay on the edge of the pillow you will sink (it is lower) I lay in the middle of it and have no problems.  Even side sleeping I have no pillow problems.  I was even thinking of trying a Kingsize pillow for reading at night.
