Simmons Beautyrest Authentic Talalay Support
The only word to describe these pillows is "perfect". They are without question the most comfortable pillows I have ever slept on, and I do mean sleep. No more waking up, punching the pillow back into the shape I want, then trying to fall back asleep. Now I fall asleep and don't wake up until the alarm goes off. The pillows are soft and extremely comfortable, but don't equate soft with lack of support, or conversely firm with hard. Your head sinks softly into the foam and is practically cradled by the foam, but under your head the foam compresses and provides the firm support advertised, again firm, but not hard. When I move, roll over, or whatever, the foam instantly springs back up into shape, unlike memory foam. I don't want a pillow where the shape of my head is deeply pressed into the foam for many seconds as the foam slowly resumes its original shape; these latex foam pillows respond to every movement of my head instantly. As I said, the only word needed to describe these pillows is "perfect".

BalasHapusI purchased this pillow in February 2010 and fell in love with it. My standard-size pillow is very supportive and resilient, and is by far the best pillow I have ever owned. This was also my girlfriend's favorite pillow and she wanted one too, so I decided to purchase one for her. Three months later I purchased the same exact pillow (same name and brand, same customer reviews, standard size, firm support, both shipped via Amazon Prime) and was surprised to see that the two pillows offered very different levels of support. While my first pillow was very supportive and comfortable this new one provided very little support, so I decided to remove the cotton pillow case and see what was causing the difference in support. In the supportive pillow there were small holes that were uniform throughout the whole pillow that were just a bit smaller in diameter than a pencil. In the unsupportive pillow these holes were two times the size. I find it misleading that pillows that offer drastically different levels of support are being sold under the same name with the same customer reviews.
This is a very nice latex foam pillow. The construction is good, the foam is resistant to tear, and the outside case is good. Recommended even over more expensive foam latex pillows (which have slighty denser foam). It is not really that firm especially compared to a Tempurpedic which is REALLY FIRM! I strongly recommend to buy 2 pillows for every person as explained below.
BalasHapusAs an owner of 10 latex pillows right now (I am replacing them all) and having used them exclusively for 40 years, I know that these pilllows change over time. When they are new, I can sleep using just the one pillow as it is very puffy at first. Within a month or so, the pillow will start to compress until after a year or two, it is down to about half its brand new height. That is also when it becomes a great pillow after it is really broken in. That is why I suggest that you have two pillows. In about 10-12 years they are getting PRETTY thin and the faom starts to yellow and crumble. Time for a new one. One nice thing is that once they have been broken in, they bend in half really well to prop your head for reading, TV, romance.. My whole family always packs our own pillows on any road trip, including hotels, family, wherever.
Want a pillow that never changes, get a memory foam pillow but just do not expect the comfort of these great pillows.
EDIT EDIT EDIT Well, it has been a few years now, and these pillows are holding up GREAT, much better than I have had before. No sign of wear and tear and I mash them about too. Add another half a star for durability!
In comparison to all the specialty pillows on the market, if you have neck problems, and are looking for a good non-down pillow that offers medium support, going back to basics with this latex foam pillow is a smart choice. Not too hard, not too soft, yet great support and resiliency. Generally, I've found synthetic down to be too fluffy with no support, and memory foam too hard with too much support-like sleeping on a brick. This pillow offers great support in any position (back, stomach, side). Because it's constructed of one piece of shaped foam, it bounces back and holds its shape, no shifting of the fill. I strongly recommend it. Great value, very comfortable, good quality, good night's rest.
BalasHapusThis is the most wonderful pillow I have ever laid my head on. If anyone is thinking a pillow is a pillow or wondering how there could possibly be much difference between one type of pillow over another, I am writing this review specifically to say that the difference between them (fiber fill, feather and memory foam versus 100% latex foam) is the difference between night and day.
BalasHapusThis pillow is soft, cozy and comfortable yet gives me the firm neck support that I need. It comes with a very nice zippered cover (some don't). I bought two and I wish I had found them sooner. This is an excellent price especially for 100% latex foam with the Simmons Beauty Rest brand name plus with Amazons free shipping you just can't go wrong. I love Amazon.
I think that the reason that some people are giving this pillow bad reviews is that the description does not properly explain the feel of this pillow. This is not a HARD pillow (what most would consider firm.) It is also not quite a SOFT pillow (no resistance beneath your head.) It is a SPRINGY pillow. It could also be described as bouncy.
BalasHapusLet me draw an analogy to shoes. A Birkenstock sandal has a firm supportive footbed--but no bounce. A cushioned slipper has a soft footbed--but still no bounce. An athletic shoe has a springy footbed. It is flexible, slightly hard, and has bounce. This pillow would be analogous to a less hard (but very springy) athletic shoe.
This is my all-time favorite pillow. It does need to be aired out for a while to be rid of the latex smell. I like it much better than memory foam. With memory foam you just sink. With latex, your head is cradled like in a hammock.
I think those who wrote bad reviews actually wanted a different type of pillow. This is an excellent pillow--you just need to know what you are getting. When it comes to firmness, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being soft and 10 being hard, this pillow is a 3. For springiness, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being flaccid and 10 being a balloon or a super bouncy ball, this pillow is about a 7. The manufacturer just needs a better writer to describe their product.

BalasHapusI've slept on these pillows for eight years and they're great! Better than any other pillow I have tried, including memory foam pillows.
BalasHapusThese foam pillows are the greatest. The first set was a wedding gift and I've bought three sets since, two for home and one for our camper. (This is in a 35-year time frame.) As you can tell they last a long time. They also do nicely in the washer and dryer. I highly recommend them.
BalasHapusThis pillow look very comfort with some high level of comfort for a perfect whole night's sleep.
BalasHapusThe pillows should be neck support pillows as it relieve from the stiffness and as well as provide a good quality of sleep.
This pillow is very lightweight but amazingly supportive and soft. I had been having trouble with all sorts of pillows. Some would lose their fluffiness and hurt my neck, some were supportive but too hard and hurt my ear. This pillow is a dream come true.
