Latex Pillows

Are latex pillows good for you?

Latex pillows are great if you're looking for a highly supportive pillow that springs back into shape. You should consider a latex pillow if you're looking for pressure relief without the sinking feeling often associated with memory foam pillows. They're also highly breathable, resistant to dust mites and durable too!

What's the best latex pillow?

The best latex pillow should provide high levels of comfort, spinal alignment and head support. A good latex pillow should bounce back effectively and keep its shape, whilst contouring gently to your head and neck. You can choose from softer or firmer latex pillows, depending on your comfort preference and sleeping style.

Can latex pillows cause allergies?

Some people are allergic to latex. A latex allergy is a reaction to particular proteins found in natural rubber latex. A latex allergy can occur through direct contact and inhalation, according to the Mayo Clinic. Therefore, if you know you have a latex allergy, it's safest not to choose a pillow that contains natural latex. You could choose a hollowfibre or memory foam pillow instead.

Are latex pillows good for neck pain?

Latex pillows can help reduce aches and pains, since they provide good support and pressure relief. However, you should also consider your sleeping position, and choose the correct pillow depth for you. Your pillow shouldn't feel too high (too deep) or too low (too shallow) - as this can cause neck pain.

Can you wash a latex pillow?

Latex pillows can be blot cleaned by dabbing the pillow with a damp cloth using mild detergent.
