Latex pillows

A latex pillow is a pillow made of soft foam, which may be produced with sap from the rubber tree. This isn't always the case, and some pillow companies created blended latexpillows that contain synthetic latex. The attraction of having a natural pillow that is more eco friendly draws some consumers to latexpillows, and they should look for those that are sold as 100% natural latex to avoid getting synthetically produced ones. Others simply like both natural and synthetic latex because they provide firm and bouncy comfort, and they're long lasting.

There is some variation in types of the latex pillow. The most common ones are bed pillows, made to comfort the head while sleeping. Other types like neck rests for cars or lumbar cushions are available too. Size of the latex bed pillow may be a little different than other pillows. Many of the pillows have contouring, which offers neck support and may be a particular favorite for people who have back and neck pain. Others are shaped much like the standard pillow shape, and may come in standard, queen, and king sizes to accommodate differently sized beds.

These pillows also vary by covering. Some are covered with materials like 100% organic cotton, and others have polyester/cotton or terrycloth covers. A few feature wool covers. As with the average bed pillow, most will require a traditional pillow cover for sleeping and to prevent staining of the pillow.
