Latex Rubber: Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is latex?

A. It is the milk (sap) from the small tropical tree Heavea Braziliensis found in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

It is harvested by tapping this tree, and is a sustainable and renewable resource. No chemicals are needed to stabilise the rubber, and the intrinsic color is also retained.

Our latex is non-toxic and contaminant free, its natural properties inhibit bacterial and fungal growth, and it provides and inhospitable environment for dustmites.

Q. Do you have different sizes for your Naturelle latex pillow?

A. We do. Two in fact. Low profile and Medium profile. Naturelle Low is more for the female frame, and Medium for the male and side sleepers, and for those who generally prefer a higher pillow.

Q. What’s so special about your Naturelle latex pillow?

A. Our Naturelle latex rubber pillow contains hundreds of tiny cores within it to allow air to flow for a more hygienic sleep environment. These cores averaging half a centimetre wide, also enhance the pillow's luxurious feel.

Q. Is your Naturelle latex pillow contoured?

A. Yes, the contour is quite mild in fact. One side is slightly higher than the other to best give you the option of using the side to suit your comfort and support requirements.

The contour allows your neck and head to be evenly supported, thus encouraging the natural alignment of your spine during sleep. Better posture for a more relaxed sleep!

Q. Why should I choose a latex pillow over your Memory foam or traditional foam contoured pillows?

A. It's a matter of preference. You may like the feel of Memory foam ™, or you may prefer the options of conventional foam with our Tranquillow range. The Naturelle latex pillow is, quite simply, a natural product and has a wonderful feel to it. It's a tough decision. We can only suggest that you search through our total pillow range and you will find your optimum pillow. You cannot miss!
