5.0 out of 5 stars good reviews vs. bad reviews explained, October 20, 2007

I think that the reason that some people are giving this pillow bad reviews is that the description does not properly explain the feel of this pillow. This is not a HARD pillow (what most would consider firm.) It is also not quite a SOFT pillow (no resistance beneath your head.) It is a SPRINGY pillow. It could also be described as bouncy.

Let me draw an analogy to shoes. A Birkenstock sandal has a firm supportive footbed--but no bounce. A cushioned slipper has a soft footbed--but still no bounce. An athletic shoe has a springy footbed. It is flexible, slightly hard, and has bounce. This pillow would be analogous to a less hard (but very springy) athletic shoe.

This is my all-time favorite pillow. It does need to be aired out for a while to be rid of the latex smell. I like it much better than memory foam. With memory foam you just sink. With latex, your head is cradled like in a hammock.

I think those who wrote bad reviews actually wanted a different type of pillow. This is an excellent pillow--you just need to know what you are getting. When it comes to firmness, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being soft and 10 being hard, this pillow is a 3. For springiness, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being flaccid and 10 being a balloon or a super bouncy ball, this pillow is about a 7. The manufacturer just needs a better writer to describe their product.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for me, It's like sleeping on a balloon, March 10, 2010

Length:: 2:55 Mins

I found that this product had no real description of how it felt. I have not slept on a latex pillow so this was new to me. I didn't like how it felt and it was a bit weird to sleep on. Almost like sleeping on a balloon. From all of the great reviews I was expecting something much better. I can't say this is a bad pillow due to the fact it does offer good support but being a smaller person, this pillow just felt too big and pushy. I guess latex pillows just aren't for me. I wanted everyone to understand what it means when people say this pillow is springy so I hope this helps. You never know until you sleep on one whether or not you'll like it. I also want to note this pillow is larger than a standard queen size pillow. It was 4 inches larger than my other pillow and barely fit into the pillow cases.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most wonderful pillow ever!, January 15, 2007

I've been looking for a foam pillow, remembering as a teen I had one and loved it. I never can find a good pillow--my neck hurts, my TMJ would get worse, or my ears would be sore. I have had a very hard time finding a good one, and was thrilled when I found this on amazon. Latex foam pillows are far superior in comfort to the popular "memory foam," which I think is so uncomfortable--I mean, it smooshes down and stays there--how is that support? Latex foam, on the other hand, is light, but so supportive. It's springy--it's gently lifting you up. Anyway, I've had it for about a week and slept better than I have in years. I absolutely love it! Also, I can't believe how fast I got it. When I ordered it it was out of stock, and I chose free shipping. Had it in a few days. Wow! Thanks Amazon. (PS The latex smells a little funny at first, but the smell was completely gone within a few days.)
