Goofy, I heard you had a latex merkin.....
Rocker says: "Latex is one of the top selling types of bedding today..."
I don't know about bedding - but I'm a definite fan of today's fashions in latex sleepwear. On the opposite sex, of course.
FLguy pontificates: " And further, what are those duck doing now? Sounds like whether the choice is latex or feathers it is not exactly 'be kind to animals and other living things week'. "
Over on this coast we raise free range latexes, Dude....
Memory foam, therapeautic are like concrete. The inside of my mattress looks like swiss cheese so it doesn't compress and stays soft even after you have been laying on it for a while.
Latex is one of the top selling types of bedding today...but i love my new pillow...ive tried the memory foam and i found it turned to a brick with my air cond running,and i like it cool at all times...did you know its not the feathers that cause allergies in the down pillows,,,,its the dust in them from the way some are made...some are made cheap..the good down pillows are fine screened abd cleaned before the feathers go into the pillows..you always have to watch what you buy
I have a latex mattress and it is awesome....it cost some major bucks, but I got tired of sleeping around the coils in my old mattress. It should last for more than 20 years.
Mine is made from "fake feathers"...its the new alternative down..QUACK...QUACK
Going back to the original question....Is it possible for latex to be anything other than organic. And to take it one step further, what were those ducks fed that gave up the feathers. And further, what are those duck doing now? Sounds like whether the choice is latex or feathers it is not exactly 'be kind to animals and other living things week'.
I love my new pilow...i do get a better sleep...in the morning my face no longer feels like it has been hot by a mack truck...cheap pillows = cheap sleep
Being exposed to allergens on an on-going basis can make you feel tired and worn out all the time, as your body is working extra hard to defend itself and expel the allergens. Plus, being congested at night can lead to a poor night's sleep, weakening your immune system and leaving you feeling exhausted and miserable. Stopping dust mite allergens where they start is an effective and easy way to cut down on allergy symptoms, get a better night's sleep, and help strengthen your immune system by putting less strain on your body. All this from a simple pillow cover!
Avoid going to bed with wet hair. Moist hair and bedding attracts swarms of dust mites
encasements with high thread counts (260 or more threads per inch) can prevent dust mites from crawling in and out of the pillow's interior.
Ten percent of the weight of a two year old pillow can be composed of dead mites and their droppings.
Heres a tip to make your pillow last longer and stay fresh and get a better sleep...wash you face and hair before you go to bed...the oils and sweat from the day will be removed and this will actually allow your head and face to breathe...
Well,i just slept on the my new down fiber gel pillow last nite and i must admit its an excellent pillow....i find when my face is into it,there is no pressure and i dont turn as much,its also soft enuff to use as tummy or side sleeper....i cant sleep on my back either...i find if i slept on my back my moth goes bone dry....they also use this fiber gel pillow in the expensive hotels
I'm the same as Marcia, take my pillow wherever I go, comes in handy on the plane! I favour a medium to thin, flat latex foam pillow (prefer the Dunlopillo range). Get severe neck and shoulder problems without it. A bit more expensive but a pain free neck is worth it for me.
Sorry Ron, wasn't on since yesterday.
I sleep on my tummy, too. I have tried to change this habit and cannot do it. It's agonizing trying to fall asleep on my back...
My pillow needs to be soft/fluffy and almost flat and I sleep on the corner of the pillow.... strange beings we are. I take my pillow with me when I travel, even to the best hotels. I can sleep where ever, as long as I got my own pillow. I took it all the way up to the desert in Mali. Sometimes one can end up sleeping in the most uncomfortable places, but the pillow does the trick.
In Mali and Indonesia I have left duplicates of the same pillow.... lol...
Anyway, I cannot sleep on feathers, freaks me out and the smell, my doggy nose can't take. I actually use a simple IKEA pillow, which is NOT one for tummy sleepers.
That works best for me. I've gone through so many pillows.
Review site on the pillow i just got

What Is a Gel Pillow?
A gel pillow is not filled with any type of gel or liquid-like substance. Rather, it is filled with polyester gel fibers. This makes the pillow similar to a traditional polyester / synthetic-filled pillow in some ways. However, polyester gel does have some unique properties. Namely, it has a similar feel to goose down, yet retains the hypoallergenic characteristics of polyester fill.
I kept the synthietic down pillow...ITS AMAZING....i just lay down in in for a few minutes and i LOVE IT already.....some say its the best pillow on the market....again...I LOVE THIS PILLOW SO FAR....cant wait to sleep tonite
I got these pillows at Costco a couple years back. They're memory foam on one side and I think fiber fill on the other. I bought one at first, and went right back to buy another for my King size, afraid they would sell out. I love them. That one you linked to sounds interesting. Gel sounds comfortable.
