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.

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

This review is from: Simmons Beautyrest Authentic Dunlop Latex Foam Firm Support Standard Pillow (Kitchen)

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.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not as expected., March 16, 2007

By	J. Chiovitti (ON, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Simmons Beautyrest Authentic Dunlop Latex Foam Firm Support Standard Pillow (Kitchen)

I go through pillows faster than anyone I've ever met. My wife can't understand how I destroy pillows inside, sometimes, less than a week, but usually within a couple of months. They flatten and separate and clump up and I can't sleep... it's horrible. So after some research online the Tallalay Latex Foam Pillow looked to be my saviour. My perfect pillow. It's supportive, it will never flatten, it's comfortable and it won't separate and clump! Where have you been all my life.

So I ordered the Queen Size Firm pillow seen here with great expectations! I am sorry to say that I'm quite a bit disappointed. While it's true that it is very comfortable and soft, and springs back and doesn't clump, what it doesn't do is support. The foam compresses so easily under pressure that I am horrified that they can use the word Firm to describe it. The pillow just isn't thick enough or firm enough. The pillow is only about 7" thick and compresses to about 1" under your head. As a side sleeper this just isn't good. Now, for back sleepers this pillow is fantastic. When I lay on my back it is the most comfortable pillow I have ever used, but then that's what a SOFT pillow is for.

So my quest for the perfect pillow will continue. What would be perfect for me would be to find a similar tallalay foam latex pillow that is truly firm. Perhaps about 8-9" thick with a bit let compressibility or denser foam. They should still sell this model but certainly not with a Firm description.
