Latex Pillow question / recommendation

[phoenix]

Hi jgkoch75,

There is a non-removable nylon liner that keeps the pieces from getting out, but I wonder how long it will be before larger pieces start to come out? Can I expect it to be a lumpy mass in 10 years?

Latex is a very durable material when you sleep on it but it can rip or tear easily when you pull or tug at it or grab part of a pillow or a layer so how much “chunks” would come out of a latex pillow would really depend on the circumstances and how it was handled over time.

I’d appreciate any recommendations for latex pillows, or testimonials from those who have experience using them. I was under the impression that The Original Mattress Factory uses high quality latex manufacturers (NuForm brand Talalay for the pillows).

Like many other manufacturers … Original Mattress Factory uses Talalay latex made by Latex International but all latex is a high quality and durable material … as long as it isn’t “pulled” or tugged to the degree that the latex tears. Even a tear or a few missing pieces won’t generally affect the feel and performance of a latex pillow but this would also depend on degree of course. The general suggestion with latex would be to be a little careful when you are handling it but when you sleep on it you will be fine.

There is more information and feedback about pillows in the pillow thread here.
