Organic Latex Pillows

Natural & Organic Latex is known for its durable, supportive feel that is guaranteed to last 10-20 years without any sagging. This material is a natural product that comes from the sap of the rubber tree. This milky sap is eco-consciously processed. The term ‘dead pillow’ is a common term used for a standard pillow that exceeds its expiry of only a couple of years until it significantly deteriorates (causing neck alignment issues and pain), we offer our Latex Contour Pillow to help alleviate this problem.

• It returns to its original shape almost immediately – compared to synthetic latex and standard feathered/polyester, the unique material of organic pure latex means that once pressure is removed it remains its shape, giving you full contoured support the moment you move, without creating pain-points or letting you sink into your pillow. This means that latex can help alleviate aches and pains with the correct alignment support, especially in the head and neck.
• Latex retains its shape for 10 years, where other common pillows made from polyester (especially) will start to significantly lose softness and support after just a few months or years.
• It is resistant to moisture, mould, mildew, and dust mites and can mean a much healthier and allergy-free sleep. Further, contrary to what some believe, the particularly open-cell structure allowed by the quality of natural latex promotes great air-ventilation – the best defence against ‘sleeping-hot’ and ensuring your pillow does not retain heat from your body and allows your skin to breathe.

Our latex is sourced from eco-plantations in Vietnam and is certified by ECO-institut (Germany) as 100% natural botanical latex and by GOLS as 100% organic latex with no added petroleum-based or synthetic latex, also meeting strict standards for pollutants and harmful emissions.

This ensures there are no additives in our latex that could damage the quality, consistency or healthiness of your mattress. Our latex has also passed stringent durability tests, which is one of the reasons we can offer a market-leading 20-year warranty. Further, our latex uses the ‘Dunlop’ method of production due to its lower environmental footprint and durability advantages over the ‘Talalay’ method.

• Quality tested by eco-INSTITUT® (Germany) for containing 100% natural latex rubber free of harmful pollutants and emissions
• Tested by GOLS for containing 100% organic materials and production methods
• Naturally hypoallergenic that repels dust mites, mould and mildew to fight allergies
• Durability tested (scoring 100/100) for little resilience or firmness-loss after 30,000 load cycles of 140kg (TUV EN 1957-2012 tested in Netherlands)
• Additionally, our supplier uses bio-fuel for electricity and has an all-round clean production process (as certified by ISO 14001:2015).

There is some discussion surrounding the difference between Natural and Organic Latex, however the only main difference between the two is the certification. 

Our Natural Latex, certified by eco-INSTITUT is classified as ‘non-organic 100% Natural Latex‘ so they are recognised as Natural, not Organic.

Our Organic Latex is certified by GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) and therefore is recognised as Organic + Natural Latex.

Both materials are very similar in terms of their eco-processes in both sourcing and production. Neither use any additives, formaldehyde’s or any other synthetics. Our certifications cover both the sourced materials, its manufacturing and production of pressing the Latex (using the Dunlop method) and forming its completed mattress.

With Organic Latex,  the Rubber Tree it comes from is certified Organic, meaning the plantation uses a more strict process when maintaining and sourcing the tree sap. When going to production, the manufacturing for both Natural and Organic Latex is identical.

Similar to the above discussion about Latex, Natural and Organic Cotton are also very similar.

Organic Cotton comes from a certified plantation classed as ‘Organic’ therefore when the cotton is grown and picked, the certification reflects this. When manufacturing, the process is effectively the same.

Our Natural Cotton Covers are slightly thinner with a smooth surface, and our Organic Cotton Covers has a thicker wadding and the texture is cushion-like. However, both are soft and neither impacts comfort or support within the pillow itself.

4 Height Options:

• High side with Layer = 14cm
• High side without Layer = 11.5cm
• Low side with Layer = 12.5cm
• Low side without Layer = 10cm
• Removable Bottom Layer = 2.5cm

Most sleepers will suit the low side with the bottom layer. If this feels to high or you solely sleep on your front or back, try this for at least a few days before removing layers

Generally, side sleepers or those with broader shoulders will suit a higher setting – but front or back sleepers, or those with slimmer shoulders will suit a lower setting. Try them all out until you know what’s best for you!

All natural/organic latex comes with an odour of some strength, but ours is very low and dissipates over time – generally a week or 2 and it would almost be gone. Most people don’t notice it at all. Our odour is graded at 2.5 out of 6, which is between these 2 grades:

• 2 perceptible, not bothering
• 3 clearly perceptible, not bothering

Our Latex layers are designed to be supportive, durable and comfortable – making them slightly more heavy-duty than other pillows. But, we offer our pillows in 4 different height settings, so you can add your layers and rotate heights.

When you receive your Latex Contour Pillow, they arrive in a vacuum-sealed package which is easily transportable. 

*Note: Our Latex Pillow is designed to have a slightly snug fit within any standard pillowcase, depending on your height option.
