Latex Pillows for a Latex Mattress?

Danny writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I need two latex pillows.  

Our current one is about 4.5" memory foam on a 2" soft latex mattress with a 4" firm latex core.

What do you suggest as a latex replacement?

Do you suggest the wool shredded latex or which do you recommend?

For shipping to Canada, will there be custom charges or is it shipped from Canada?

Thanks, Danny

 

 

Hi Danny,

All latex pillows are the highest quality and longest lasting pillows available.

Naura of Canada pillows are made in Quebec and delivered free anywhere in Canada, without any fees or taxes.

As you'll be able to see by clicking on this next link, there are a lot from which to choose.

By and large, choosing a pillow is a matter of personal comfort.

However, the pillows made of "Granulated Latex" are best for relieving chronic neck pain.

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Question about Latex Foam Mattress Toppers.

Kay writes:

 

Hello Peter,
I found your website and I have a question about latex foam mattress toppers
Can a topper help with neck, shoulder and hip pain? 

I'm a retired police officer this lots of injuries through the years.
What do you suggest?
Thank you, Kay

Hi Kay,

Only latex foam toppers provide long term solutions.

More specifically, The EverEden Pure, All Natural 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper does the best job of relieving pain from pressure points.

This latex is made by Latex International in Connecticut....finished and sold by EverEden in Massachusetts.

Here is a link where you can buy one.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress Questions.

Ben writes:

 

Hi Pete,

Thanks for your quick response.  I have a few more questions for you.  

With our current mattress we have a low profile box spring. 

If we were to go with the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattress, would we need the new box spring or can we reuse the old one?  

I wasn't sure if the box springs really wear out or not.  

In the end, the box spring is only a $200 so if you recommend we replace it, we will replace it.

When I was at the store, I asked about a latex mattress and I was told the latex drys out/breaks down over time. 

I thought I would see what your thoughts were regarding that and how true that actually is or if it is just another tactic to push consumers to memory foam.

 

I see on your website you have several mattress protector and pillow options. Do you have any specific recommendations for both of those?  

Thanks, Ben   

 

Good Morning Ben,

The assessment of latex, that you heard at the store you visited, is 100% correct. Latex is natural rubber, starting as the sap from the rubber tree.

Rubber doesn't wear out. It dries out. However, a small detail was omitted from that assessment. It takes decades for that to happen.

Memory foam wears out...in about a year.

 

Boxsprings will usually wear in spots...the spots that support the bulk of your body weight....weak spots that don't really show.

A new mattress will conform to those weak spots.

Also, when you use any new mattress with any old foundation, the mattress manufacturer automatically voids the warranty.

Every mattress manufacturer has that clause in their warranty.

When we priced our mattresses, we added only the wholesale price of the boxsprings for the set prices.

However, if you wish to use your old boxspring, I suggest adding a sheet of plywood to the top of the boxspring. This will even out any weak spots.

 

We carry a very nice organic waterproof mattress protector from "Gotcha Covered".

The top two Pure Bliss pillows on this next link are my favorites. I have one of each.

The 2nd pillow is my primary pillow, used to relieve my chronic neck pain, due to arthritis on the left side of my neck.

It's made of finely chopped latex, which is easily manipulated to form around the head and neck to suite each individual.

The 1st pillow is made of very soft latex. I don't get them often, but when I do get a headache, there's no other place where I can lay my head and feel better.

Pure Bliss Talalay Down vs. Natura Vibrance Latex Pillow.

Hey Pete,
Hope you are doing well.  I was wondering what is the difference between this Pure Bliss Talalay Down Latex pillow.

and this Natura Vibrance Latex pillow other than the manufacturer?  
https://themattressexpert.com/xcart5/Vibrance-All-Natural-Granulated-Latex.html?category_id=327

Thanks, Eric

 

 

Hi Eric,

I have home tested both and find the PureBliss Latex/Down to be the more comfortable of the two.

That PureBliss pillow is made of finely chopped latex.

That Natura pillow is made of finer, granulated latex.

In both cases, the materials inside can be manipulated to mold around your head and neck.

We have sold plenty of each, and without complaints.

Neck and Shoulder Pain from an Old Latex Mattress.

Hi Pete,

 

My wife and I have had a high quality latex mattress for 16 years now. It has truly been a

great mattress.

Every year or two we either rotate or flip it and it does not appear to show any signs of

failing. My wife sleeps mostly on her side and I sleep mostly on my stomach or back.

She sleeps great, but for a year or so now, I wake up with neck and shoulder pain. I

noticed that when I travel and sleep on an innerspring mattress with a pillow top I wake

up feeling much better. 

We don't think the latex mattress is failing, and my wife still loves it, so replacing it may

not solve the problem.

Do you have any insights or recommendations?        

Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,
The news is all good, with a reasonably inexpensive and long term fix to your problem.
Latex takes a long time to wear. And how it wears is the best part. It generally
becomes firmer, which is why it isn't as comfortable as it once was. The good thing 
about that, is you still have plenty of support, which means you don't need a new mattress.

Simply add an EverEden 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper to your mattress.  You will be good to
go with a very comfortable sleeping surface that will last for years to come.

Pure, All Natural Latex Contour Pillow

Mary writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I purchased a mattress from you, about ten years ago (at least). - and also a latex contour pillow, which I love. 

I want to get one for my sister. Do you still sell them? If not, can you tell me the brand? 

There are so many advertised online, can't tell about the quality. 

Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary,

They were latex pillows made by Sealy. They don't make them anymore.

And while I don't now carry Sealy Products, we do have a "Contour Latex Pillow", which your sister will enjoy as much as you do.

Pure Talalay Bliss Latex-Down Pillow to Relieve Chronic Neck Pain.

John writes:

 

Hi Pete,

You seem to know a lot about mattresses. I'm hoping you know something about pillows and can help me with my chronic neck pain.

I find it impossible to find one that lasts very long. 

After buying a new pillow, my pain subsides some, but then the pillow starts to flatten out and the pain returns full force.

Can you direct me to a pillow that will work and last?

Thanks, John

 

Hi John,

We are kindred sufferers. I have arthritis on one side of my neck and suffered with the pain it causes for many years.

Like you, I've tried countless types of pillows that help me feel better initially, but loses their resiliency much to quickly.

The best for short term use was the down (feather) pillows for relieving pain, but flattened out faster than any other type.

Even all latex pillows, which last for years, don't quite fit my neck and only help with the pain a little.

A few years ago, I was given a pillow by the Pure Talalay Bliss mattress people. 

It was a new design...made of finely chopped latex.

It behaves like a down pillow...allowing me to mold the mattress around my head and neck so that it fit perfectly, regardless of my sleeping position.

As I had hoped, the pain subsided to the point of disappearing. 

What's more, it's now a few years later and that very same pillow it still performing as well as it did when it was new.
Don't get me wrong. I still have arthritis and the pain comes and goes....usually due to changes in the weather.

But before using this Latex-Down pillow, (as it is called), the pain was constant...and now, it's rare.

We have been promoting it for a while and it sells well. But, the proof is not in how well I can sell it. The proof is in the re-orders.

That pillow works so on a variety of causes of neck pain, that people often order more for their loved ones.

Here is a link to that pillow, where you can order online. Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm and an EverEden 2" Soft Talalay Latex Mattress Topper.

Hi Pete,

I've spent the last couple of hrs reading  your website. 

I've been to the department stores and came close to purchasing from a mattress store--a Simmons Beautyrest. 

I think it was one from their Black series. 

With that said...

 

MY Concerns:

1. rheumatoid arthritis -- specifically hands, feet
2. constant low back pain
3. neck --end of January I'm scheduled for a surgical procedure to un-pinch a nerve at the  base of my neck that is causing severe problems with my arm and hand. I may also end up with fused cervical vertebrae
4. water bed -- for the last 30 years -- I've been sleeping on a full bladder type -- bag of heated water. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to get out of the bed.
    I'm concerned about what happens when I have the neck surgery and equally concerned about adjusting to a mattress
5. about 50 lbs overweight
6. side sleeper
7. intend to put the mattress on a plywood platform. I will be using my waterbed frame. I have a  carpenter who will 'make' the platform for me.
8. will purchase online.  I've been to the department stores and mattress retailers and that's not been a comforting experience
9. Having read your site extensively, I understand you are clear and concise in your recommendations. I believe it is your policy to work with your customers to make sure you sell the best mattress fitted to the individual. 
10. right now -- I've come up with the following as a possibility: Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm and an EverEden 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper.

Can you kindly advise? Thanks for your time.

Dora

Hi Dora,

The time you spent reading has paid off. 

The Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm and EverEden 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper is an excellent choice.

This sleep system combination provides good, firm contouring support and a comfortable sleeping surface that remains like new for many years.

For your neck, we have a Pure Bliss "Latex/Down" pillow. 

Made of 100% natural, finely chopped latex, it's easily manipulated to mold around your head and neck for proper alignment of the vertebra and for muscle relaxation that results in reduced neck pain.

Here are the links to all of these products.

A Two Sided Mattress, Latex Topper and Latex Pillow to Relieve Arthritis, Neck and Back Pain.

Susan writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am a side sleeper with arthritis, neck and back pain. 

Lately, I have been waking up sore all over. I know it is time for a new mattress and do not like a very hard mattress.  

I read about your latex mattress but it is a little to pricey for me.  Do you have anything in queen for around $1000 to $1200 tops? 

I have not been using a boxspring but can if it is required. I'm 5'2" @ 170 lbs. Can you advise me? 

Thanks, Susan

 

Hi Susan,

A boxspring is not necessary, which will allow you to maximize your mattress purchase.

A mattress that is strong enough to support your size an still be reasonably comfortable is the Two Sided Brolynn plush.

This mattress has no memory foam.

Add to it, an EverEden Pure, All Natural, 2" soft Talalay Latex Topper, which will do a great job of cushioning your arthritis.

The latex is far more resilient than the other foams, so it will also extend the life of your mattress.
