K-Lex Side Sleeper Pillow

[phoenix]

Hi ligerslayer,

I tried a K-LEX (made from a blend of kapok and natural latex) side sleeper pillow out in store and LOVED it. It gave my neck/head the right amount of support, and gave a place for my top arm to rest. However, looking over their website, I didn’t find any organic/OEKO-TEX certs. Does anyone know if they have any of those certifications, or know of a similar pillow that does have those certs?

All the latex you are likely to encounter (either Dunlop or Talalay that is made with either natural or synthetic rubber or a blend of both) will have a reliable certification such as Oeko-Tex, Eco-Institut, or Greenguard Gold (see post #2 here) and based on actual testing I would consider any type or blend of latex to be a very “safe” material in terms of harmful substances and VOC’s.

Kapok is also a natural material that I would consider to be very “safe” as well but Churchill & Smith who manufactures the pillow would be the most reliable source of information about any specific certifications that they have.

The only other kapok/latex pillow I’m aware of off the top of my head is designed and sold by Nest Bedding here.
