The Perfect Pillow
Size: Queen (Low Loft)
Finally found the right pillow for me. I have purchased quite a few latex pillows attempting to find the right one. I was apprehensive due to the support description being "extra soft". Yes, it's super soft when you pick it up and squeeze it, but it provides the perfect amount of support for side and back sleeping.

Absolutely awesome pillow! My sister and I used to have pillows like these as kids and always look to replace them. These are wonderful. Cool and comfortable and the perfect amount of firm and support . Spouses fight us for them!!

Nice foam latex pillow. A little thicker than I wanted, but has improved my sleep quality

Just what we were looking for.
Been buying these latex foam pillows for years. Definitely less firm due to it being “extra soft”. Soft and still somewhat supportive. Is not hot either. So glad I can still buy these pillows.
