| 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. |

I wanted a few latex pillows but wasn't sure which I would like best, so I ordered them one at a time. To start, I bought a Nature's Rest Zoned Firm Queen from Overstock.com. I liked the Firm, but thought it might be a little too firm. Next I ordered the Nature's Rest High Loft Plush, and thought that was a little bouncy. My son loved it and it's now his. Then I ordered a Nature's Rest Zoned Plush, and that's my favorite of them all. But I have the Firm on my bed as well, and use them both. I used to wake up with a stiff neck almost every day, and had tried every kind of pillow. But I never had a latex pillow before, and it's amazing that my neck pain is now gone! Needless to say, I highly recommend them! Overstock had the best prices on these, $60 - $65 depending on the firmness. They sell for up to $100 elsewhere in Queen size. Last time I looked Overstock sold out of the Queen size, but you can get them for $75 from a store on Amazon.com. |

And I didn't like the bouncy feel of them. Finally, I shredded the last one by hand and filled the zippable pillow cover to the precise level that works for me (experimented over several nights), and that worked for me. That's interesting, you shredded it by hand, very smart. For those that find the latex pillows to tall you should try the standard size those are not so tall. But I like the tall one, which is queensize. I found the standard too flat. This message was modified Mar 6, 2010 by Leo3

Just wondered because the zoned LI pillow was too flat for me. I found the best prices at Sears when they have a sale, and Penneys, about $40 or so. 50% off I try to get. |

I have tried many different pillows. Have tried foam, have tried the one piece latex. Didn't like them. Being a stomach sleeper, I don't like something too firm as it cocks my head up. For years, I used a very old feather/down pillow that I could make a good indenation in and really didn't like anything else. Now with my latex mattress, I use two standard sized down pillows that I bought from TJ Maxx for about $15 each; one for my head and one to hug. Its amazing all of the junk that is out there in department stores that are called 'pillows'. I wouldn't let Bandit (my dog) sleep on most them. If you want a firmer shredded latex pillow at a great price, look at Pillowflex.com. I bought one of these but it was a little too firm for me. I suppose if I ever get ambitous enough I could take some of the latex out and make it softer. Good product though and really great prices - I think it was $25. shipped from Georgia to Oregon. |

They make both Low Profile, 6" high, and High Loft pillows, 7" high. I have the 7" ones, if you buy another one try the High Loft, it's very comfy. |
| 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.? |

I just bought a JC Penney latex pillow for the guest room. The label says "All new material consisting of 100% latex foam rubber. Filled by Louisville Bedding Co. 10400 Bunsen Way, Louisville KY 40299. Shell (the zippered case it comes with) made in China, Filled and Finished in the USA. Talalay Latex Foam." I would say this is a medium firm high loft pillow, about 7" thick. It's extremely comfortable, and reasonably priced. The Queen sized pillow is only $40, or $35 if you buy 2 or more, and I highly recommend it.  |
| I have both solid and Natura shredded foam pillows. I didn't find either comfortable, although the shredded was a bit better. It had a layer of wool around it. Instead, my favorite pillows are Pacific down and Down-Around feather and down pilows. I was raised on these type. I like to be able to punch them into different shapes to fit my head. My 17 year old daughter likes the solid latex pillow. |

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.
