Rejuvenite is a division of Latex International. They offer 8 different pillows, all made from NuForm, which is referred to as an all-natural Talalay viscoelastic latex. They claim some temperature sensitivity, ala memory foam.

This is the Harmony. I ordered one from the Rejuvenite website because I couldn't find anywhere else to buy it. It claims to have the feel of down but promises to maintain it's loft. A $100 pillow isn't normally an "impulse buy" but it this case it was. It combines the things I was looking for in a pillow.

Another launch, the Harmony, offers white goose down around Talalay latex. The Harmony is ideal for side and back sleepers who are seeking additional support. One of the biggest complaints consumers have with down pillows is that they break down over a year. The RejuveNite Harmony and Bliss pillows feel like fluffy, luxurious down pillows, but they never need fluffing and never break down due to the addition of Talalay latex.

Thank you again Haysdb for this valuable information all in one place.  I will be getting the standard plush low profile pillow and will give a review on it when I get it.  I wish it has as low of a loft as the King size Low Profile Pillow but 5.5 is close enough to 5.2 and the Plush feel hopefully will make it low enough for me since my 6" firm or medium Natural Talalay Latex Pillow from Overstock is just a bit too firm and too high for me.  I miss my old Latex Pillow from years ago that was the perfect softness and height for me.

Please let us know you you like your pillow and what you like or do not like about it after trying it out for a few nights.

This response is probably a bit premature, because we bought ours yesterday, but we loved 'em at Gardner Mattress and slept well on 'em last night.

The low-profile plush may be 5.5" when there isn't a head on it, but it does squish down. I found it squishes down to a very nice height for me when back sleeping - too low for me when side sleeping unless I stick my hand underneath (which is how I slept growing up, with a firm low-profile latex pillow as my preferred pillow).

I was a little sorry at Gardner to see that they didn't have a low-profile firm in addition to the low-profile plush (they do carry the high-loft firm, but it also squeezes down to the same feel, although maybe at a greater height as the pillow is a bit thicker to begin with). Neither of these pillows is particularly dense. Gardner also carries other latex pillows (in plastic bags, so we didn't try any).

I may well end up chucking my Costco shaped memory foam pillow...

haysdb, I am quite certain the JCPenney pillow is not Nuform foam - just regular talalay. The Rejuvenite pillow we have does feel like a cross between memory foam and latex. I think you'll be very happy with the Replenish, and if it has too much loft, you can do some "surgery" on it to remove some pellets.

Low profile plush. Sorry, thought I'd made that clear enough from my early review.

-- Actually, I just went and looked at the container it came in, and that does say "Renewal" in small letters in the lower right corner of the front; so that's the sort we bought. Gardner only had the first two kinds from the list in the original post; each comes with a red sewn-in satin corner sash that says "Rejuvenite" and either "Low Profile Plush" or "High Loft Firm" but no further information. Given Gardner's no-return pillow policy and my wife's preference, we snipped the sash off with scissors before the first night.

FWIW, two nights of good sleep but slightly odd smell from the pillow makes me think I need to run it (or its cover) through the laundry...

They list for $69 each in std/queen, and I think $79 each for king. We bought 'em from Jerry at the Woburn store; he's there Wednesdays and weekends. We like him a lot. Note the no-return policy on pillows, however. When we went in to buy a mattress there Jerry told us not to get new pillows yet, because sometimes difficulty adjusting to a new bed is actually the fault of the new pillows.

I don't think pillow stock turns over very fast there; we noted that the handled zipper-cases the new pillows come in were beginning to break down.

I bought off ebay a queen Restora and a Queen Renewal, including shipping the total for both was about $68. I used the Renewal last night for the first time. For sleeping on my back, I really liked it. It is very soft to me. I thought I would like the Restora more, but I haven't tried it yet. It seems like it would be better for side sleeping with its higher loft and firmer feel. I've used a Carpenter Perfect Pillow for 3.5 years and I have liked it but I wanted to try something new. That pillow is much firmer and more supportive, but not as luxurious a feel. I am waiting to receive a Carpenter Beyond down queen pillow that I bought for a good price. I'm also bidding on a down pillow and may buy a shredded latex pillow. So many pillows, but when you can get them for half or less, it's not so bad, plus you can never have enough pillows, especially when you have guests.
