Hello all,

I love this forum and I need help again. I have 2 latex pillows at home--a standard size which is too low for me and a queen size which is too high for my head and wake up daily with neck pain. I've recently tried the memory foam contour pillow and found even the softest one too hard. I tired the down alternative and found it too soft/squishy. I'm considering ordering a latex contour pillow from Natura but they are so expensive with no return policy. Does anyone have any experience with latex contour pillows? Which brands? Please comment on support and softness of whatever you have tried. I love my new mattress but I can't get up in the morning without moderate neck pain. Thanks in advance for your input.

I just measured my Queen soft latex pillow from FloBeds and it is 7" high.  I just measured 3 Overstock standard latex pillows and according to my measurements the highest point is 6.5" high and not the 6" the description says it is. Sabra so this pillow may be good for you but is a little high for me.  I think I would like a soft 5.5" high pillow.


Which latex pillow did you get from Flobeds? The regular pincore or the zoned pincore? Do you like the Flobeds pillow or the Overtsock pillow better?

Cjzydeco, I got the regular pincore Queen size which was so nice and plush (choice of soft, medium or firm from FloBeds) but was a little too high for me since I am not quite 5 feet.  If the FloBed pillow was a little lower, I would like the one from FloBeds better than the one from Overstock since the Overstock pillow gave no choice in firmness density.  I sleep on the one from Overstock only because it is a little lower being it is a standard size pillow and not a queen size pillow.  I am using the Queen size pillows from FloBeds as shams now since they are so comfortable and really fill the sham out nicely.  I never slept on a zoned pillow before. If you do get the zoned pillow, please let us know it is since maybe that is what I should get.  I just am very pettie so need a low pillow but I like soft latex pillows.

I have used latex pillows for several months, now, and will not go back to any other.  We first ordered online two pillows that sold for about $30 each and they were junk.  We returned them and found some online for about $90.  These were made from obviously a much higher quality latex as the material was very "consistent" throughout.  I highly recommend them.
