Why your pillow could be killing your sleep!

You spend your days hunched over your laptop, scrolling endlessly, cradling your baby, walking the dog, juggling shopping bags — sometimes all at once.

Your pillow shouldn’t add to the pain. It should help you recover.

Sleep is how your body naturally resets.

The right pillow just makes sure you wake up truly rested, not stiff, sore, and more tired than before.
That’s why switching to a supportive latex pillow, whether Dunlop, Talalay or shredded latex, can transform your sleep and eliminate neck pain.

Watermelon test

We dropped a 7kg Watermelon on each of these. Talalay responded excellently to the impact, allowing the plush foam to wrap around the watermelon. Meaning, you will feel it wrap gently around your ears and cheeks whether you are a side or a back sleeper.

Egg test

We dropped a large egg on each of these. Talalay showed how gentle and bouncy it is - best balance of support and comfort. Dunlop whereas stands out for motion transfer - the egg's drop does not effect the rest of the pillow surface.

Dumbell Test

We dropped a 5kg dumbell on each of these. Dunlop wins hands down with how it deals with impact and shock. Makes Dunlop Latex Pillow best for bigger, more larger sleepers.

Hand test

We dropped our hands on both the Dunlop and Talalay latex foam pillows. The Talalay stood out - with it being 15cms thick and medium soft, it is very plush and gives the perfect amount of gentle neck support that is needed.

help

How do I choose the right latex pillow?

Our recommendation is to match latex pillow loft to your sleeping position (back sleeper or side sleeper) and body size; We suggest you pick Dunlop (firmer) if you sleep firm, frequently visit the gym or participate in labour-intensive work or Talalay (plusher) if you are a newbie to latex pillows, a new mother or approaching menopause to ease symptoms.

help

How do I clean a latex pillow?

No, you cannot wash the latex pillow directly as it is not like your usual fabric-based pillows.

We recommend removing the cover to spot-clean the core only. Avoid soaking in water as it will make your pillow unusable and will disqualify your order for our 30-night risk-free trial.. Read our returns policy here.
