A high loft design and larger classic pillow, Restora has a firm and resilient feel for those who prefer more support. Restora, our best seller, provides maximum comfort and pressure relief for those who are side and back sleepers.
Resilient Talalay Comfort Puffs covered with a luxuriously soft velour cover, offers a down-like feel while providing superior pressure relief and plush conforming support. Perfect for pillow scrunchers and those who enjoy the feel of down but may be allergic."

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. |
Re: Rejuvenite pillows (Latex International)
| 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. |

My Rejuvenite Harmony pillow arrived today. This is not a "review" as I haven't slept on it yet. These are just my "out of the box" impressions and observations. This pillow is obviously designed for up-market retail sale as the display bag it comes in is a nice canvas zippered bag with nice rope handles. Definitely something to keep around with a pillow in it because it's just too nice to throw away. The pillow itself does nothing to alter this initial impression of a high quality product. The first thing you notice is, it's heavy. As heavy, in fact, as my Tempur-Pedic body pillow. In a pillow fight, you would have a decided advantage against someone waving a feather pillow. This is a pillow inside of a pillow. The inner pillow is shredded latex. The pillow cover is zippered on two sides so you can remove the cover to wash it. But calling the outer shell a cover doesn't do it justice because it's down filled. This is a pillow for pillow squishers. You can plump it, punch it, and mould it. My initial impression of the feel is that it may tend to feel a bit lumpy. I will have more to say about this after I have slept with it. The inner pillow is not zippered so I would have to remove some stitches to see what the latex inside looks like. I think the individual pieces are small, but they seem to cluster together and adhere to each other, creating "clumps." The Tempur-Pedic pillow is actually constructed in a similar way, with a shell, in that case of solid memory foam, with the inner portion some sort of memory foam chunks, but whatever shape they are, they tend to "flow" more than the latex. It never feels lumpy. |

It takes just a bit more work to get it "configured" than the memory foam pillow, because I need to create the desired height and then iron out any lumps in the latex, but I think it's going to be an interesting combination of the supportiveness of latex and the softness of down. It doesn't quite have that conforming and yet hard as a rock feel of the Tempur pillow, but it does still have that "substantial" feel to it. I just hope my pillow buying is over for awhile. If I can find a set of shams I like I can put my old poly fill pillows to work decorating my bed on those occasions when I feel like making it. |

Compared to the Natura Dream Mate pillow this Rejuvenate looks expensive. The Dream Mate is surrounded in wool and a quilted cover. Check it out. I have a standard size and it is somewhat squishy like a feather pillow. But, yes, it also can feel lumpy at times. Just depends on how you manipulate it.

Myself, I was able to find the right loft, but I've since found a wonderful all-down pillow at Costco made by Pacific Feather Co. for $39. I also have a Down Surround by the same company. Something about the shredded latex just wasn't 100% satisfactory for me all of the time. It's heavier, so not as easy to punch into position like you would with a down or feather pillow. It just seems to take a little more manipulation to get the granulated latex in the right position for my head. I still like it a lot better than the solid, talalay latex, though. My 15 year old daughter sleeps on one of those and really likes it. donw wrote: Were you able to obtain the right loft for you? |
