The time has come for the latex pillow review. We’ve already talked about the latex substitutes of the memory foam mattresses and the memory foam toppers so it’s only natural to move to the one and only substitute of the memory foam pillow – the latex one.
We’re not gonna repeat the latex advantages and disadvantages before the memory foam as you’ve already seen them in the previous reviews. Again here as in the comparison between memory foam and latex toppers there is no answer to the question which one is better. Both latex pillows and memory foam pillows are a must if you want to improve your sleep. Latex pillow just like the memory foam one provide proper orthopedic neck support which helps ease your neck and shoulder pains (if any). The only difference again is that the latex, being all natural product, makes the latex pillow eco-friendly. Latex pillow is considered very hypo-allergenic, mite resistant and anti-microbial to resist the development of common germs, bacteria and mildew. Still the question about the ventilation remains. As we’ve said in the latex foam toppers review the latex structure makes it difficult for the air flow to go through so the toppers must have a special design in order the ventilation to be improved. And if in the latex foam toppers the solution to that difficult air circulation was the air ventilation perforation, in the latex pillows the solution is in the unique open air sell structure. The open air sell structure helps the air flow go easily through your pillow and keep it dry and fresh day after day.
Again the diferenses between the quality of the pillows reflects on their prices. Beside the latex foam density (as you already know 3, 4 and 5lb is the density you should be looking for) there is something else you should be careful about when buying a latex pillow. The IDF or the Indentatiopn Force Deflection indicator. The IDF is coined as the technical “softness” or “hardness” of a given piece of foam, specifically the pounds of force required to indent a 4-inch-thick sample of foam. Practically speaking this would be the most accurate number to look at for gauging firmness. Be careful and insist on the IDF indicator as many of the sellers do not provide this information. Sizes just like the quality also can change the latex pillow price. A standard good quality pillow can be priced for about 50 to 60 dollars. The prices can go up to $75 for a good quality king size pillow.
