Natura World All Natural Latex Pillow Review

October 26, 2009 · Filed Under Green

Finding the perfect pillow and one that lasts a long time can be an extremely difficult task.  I know because I have been in search for a pillow that will hold up for more than a few months yet provide my head support during the night.  Latex pillows provide just that support and last for many years.  I was fortunate enough to try out two pillows from a leading latex bedding manufacturer, Natura World.

Natura World

Natura

Natura World was founded by father Harry Rossdeutscher and son Ralph who wanted to improve people’s lifestyles by providing quality bedding products.  After the duo came to the conclusion that most mattresses available only contribute to a poor nights sleep, they decided to research products that were more natural and that provided a great night’s sleep.  That’s why they started using all natural latex, 100% organic fabrics and soy based foams.  From the words of CEO Ralph Rossdeutscher:

Healthy sleep is vital to a healhty life, and we believe using natural materials is the best solution for ourselves and our planet. By using sustainable, earth-friendly manufacturing practices and materials, Natura is truly where nature meets nurture. It’s not a trend – it’s a way of life.

Green Operations

Beyond using all natural ingredients, the company does so many things to ensure it’s operations leave as little of an impact as possible.  Some of the major initiatives Natura does include: reducing their energy use by using energy efficient lighting, reducing the amount of time lights are one, unlike many businesses and using recycled office products.  They also have many green certifications including the GreenGuard and the Rainforest Alliance and donate a portion of their profits to local charities.

Environmentally Friendly Products

All of their products are made from the environmentally friendly products as I mentioned, but that’s where they stop.  They use water-based glues that are safe for the environment, vegetables based dyes, recycled paper and cardboard and reuse any extra latex.

Review

I was fortunate enough to receive two of Natura World’s most popular latex pillows.  Both are wonderful pillows that are leaps and bounds better than any of the pillows I have owned in the past.

Ultimate Pillow

Natura Ultimate Pillow

The Ultimate Pillow is made from a 100% natural latex core, meaning a single piece of latex.  This is my personal favorite pillow out of the two as it provides wonderful support for my neck and is extremely resilient.  It’s also antimicrobial, hypoallergenic and it says cool throughout the night.  It’s has a cotton cover and lined with their Natural Wool.  This pillow is much softer than most memory foams that I have encountered and does heat up like they often do.

Dream Mate Pillow

Natura Dream Mate Pillow

Just like the Ultimate pillow, the Dream Mate is also made from latex.  The biggest difference is that this pillow contains granulated latex.  Basically it’s ends cut off from their other latex products and used for this pillow.  This gives a different feeling from the Ultimate pillow, but not a bad one at all.  The latex inside tends to move around and has a similar feel to a feather pillow, but provides much more support than a feather pillow ever would.  I really like this pillow, but just have a personal preference for the Ultimate pillow.  My wife uses this pillow and loves it.  Every since she has been using it, she has slept much better.

If you are in need of a new pillow, in search of a latex pillow or mattress , definitely check out Natura.  I highly recommend either of these pillows as they provide excellent support and are made with quality products.  Be sure to check out their site to see their great selection of pillows, mattresses, toppers and bedding.
