Dunlop Organic Latex Pillow GOLS Certified (King, Extra Firm), with 100% Organic Cover Protector, More Supportive, Hypoallergenic, No Toxic Chemicals, for Back and Side Sleepers, Eco Friendly

I am writing as a two-time purchaser of this pillow. However, I think my first pillow was firmer. You see, my first order was many, many years ago, and unfortunately, I cannot be certain as to the firmness of that pillow because there is no information on my purchase order or the pillow to confirm its firmness. Therefore, I ordered my newest pillow as a "standard size - medium firm". I did compare the two pillows, and the first pillow that I ordered, so long ago, is waaay firmer than my recent purchase.Still, I am happy to report that my experience with this new pillow is wonderful. And, a few notes:1. I am sleeping on my back (not a side-sleeper).2. I do have arthritis (causes me great pains).3. I also have experienced severe whiplash trauma to my cervical/spinal region more than once! So prior injury contributes to my arthritis discomforts.4. This pillow of standard-sizing with medium firm support is comfortable to me.5. I am a petite female that weighs approximately 125 lbs.6. The medium firm pillow is a softer/loftier feeling pillow. Meaning, my head settles into it while the sides of the pillow billow around my head. This pillow does appear to offer support though.7. Thus, this pillow is NOT so firm that it feels like you are merely resting on-top of it. Your head will "sink" into this pillow. (This is the best I can describe it.) Please ask a question if this description is unclear, and I will do my best to respond.So, I hope by sharing this information, it helps another consumer make a decision for their purchasing needs.

Don’t buy!!!!!! If you take off the cover that comes with it, you will find that there are black hairs all over the place! It must come from some recycled stuffs, and it is quite ridiculous given the price. It shocked me that this is even goes on amazon’s recommended list. I’m returning it immediately. Given how gross it is, I’m even considering file complaints to BBB about this seller.

When we first received this pillow it was really comfortable just as you would expect from a latex pillow. However, after a couple of months use, the size and bounciness of the pillow reduced quite a bit. Now after six months of use, the pillow is flat, has no bounce and is a mere half the size of the original pillow received. It kind of makes you think whether this is real latex or not. It is definitely way too much money for what you get. I would not recommend this product to anyone. We have a had a pure latex mattress for 7 years and never had this problem. I am not impressed with this latex pillow.

What can I say, this is a latex pillow that you have to become a accustomed to. Having said that, the medium firm takes a bit of adjustment. I have had neck/back problems for years. Tossed and turned with other pillows. Last year I purchased, not from Amazon, a latex 3 inch topper for my mattress, to try it out, and although I still have lower back pain from time to time, that topper did WONDERS....SO this pillow is definitely a PLUS in my book. I no longer use 2 pillows when sleeping and toss and turn less frequently. Is this a miracle marvel? Not really however, I have noticed an improvement in my neck. I do find, sometimes, that I have a little bit of shoulder pain but, not too much and, not every day. It does not eliminate heat transfer, if you are a person who naturally sweats, awake or asleep, please know this will not help you BUT, it does have the natural pin hole design which, is standard for ALL latex products. Your head feels like it is on a trampoline meaning, it has a bounce to it but not as such that it is a negative end result; the pillow cradles you. I would not recommend the soft density for a side sleeper as you do need additional support. Since the product natural, it will last you for years with the proper care. I use a pillow case OVER the case it comes in. You are able to remove the cover it comes with. If you have some odor when first received, that is completely normal, it will gas off after a day or so. Should you go to the manufacturers website, you WILL NOT see this pillow at this price point, they do work with such vendors as Amazon to give a better cost to the customer. In the end, it is a personal choice and you have to be happy with it. Here is to getting a better night's rest! This is my 2nd purchase of this pillow!

I never leave reviews, but I'm amazed. I was having really bad back pain (waking up feeling completely stoved) that I attributed to my cheap mattress. I went ahead and ordered a new latex mattress in an effort to be more natural. In the meantime, I thought I should change my pillow too to be more natural so I bought this. After the first night, my back pain was completely gone! After a few nights I let my husband try it and I used the old pillow (a nice 2 sided memory foam/stuffed one) and in the am, my back pain was back in full force! I had no idea a pillow could make such a difference.I'm a side/back sleeper. I'm considering getting the medium one for me and letting my husband use this soft one, but regardless, it's obviously giving me the support I need. If you've never used latex, it's definitely a different feel. You almost feel weightless like you're not getting any support but you are. I didn't really notice any smell. Maybe initially upon opening, but it's not a chemical smell at all, I actually kind of liked it and by bedtime it was gone and I'm very sensitive to smells.I could really go on and on, I have only good things to say! If you're on the fence, I'd definitely give it a try!
