We have been to all the big stores spent a ton a money and never have found what we were looking for.
Guess what...we finally found the pillows. No more to be said.This is a king size pillow full of shredded latex. I purchased this pillow with the expectation that I would not like the loft of the pillow. The pillow lived up to this expectation so I opened up the pillow and removed a sufficient amount of the latex to fill a standard pillow to the loft that I want. It worked great. I like a very flat pillow and I have yet to find one in a retail setting. I didn't like the pillow as it was but it gave me the material I needed to design and make a pillow to my specifications. I have enough shredded latex to make another pillow which is a bonus. (Incidentally, shredded latex is terrible to work with since it scatters by static electricity worse than plastic peanuts.)

I have been struggling with neck and shoulder issues for a long time, and I was intrigued by the idea of the torn latex pillow instead of the solid sculpted types that are never quite right. I am a side sleeper, so I've been on a long quest to find the perfect pillow to support my head and neck and also to prevent my arm from falling asleep.After reading the reviews, I was very optimistic and thought that this just might be the solution to my issues. I purchased the king size pillow, and let it air out and "inflate" since it arrived in a vacuum sealed package. It did have a slight odor, but it didn't really bother me. After letting the pillow sit and fluff up for 24 hours, it still looked like it was half full.
I decided to give it a shot and placed the latex pillow on top of a regular pillow so that it was at the right height. I piled the stuffing under my neck so that my head was supported. The stuffing is really amazing! It's firm, but also has some give to it so it didn't squish my ear and I couldn't feel the individual pieces of latex through the bamboo cover. Unfortunately, the latex pieces kept migrating away from my head and neck because it was just so under-filled which resulted in several nights of experimenting with different setups, but culminating in my decision to give up the ghost.
I returned this pillow, but I'll keep looking for one that has the appropriate fullness for my needs. The torn latex is a great idea and quite comfortable, just executed poorly.Comfort? No
Fluffy? No
Firm? No
Feels like they put a bunch of scrap pieces of foam in a pillow case!I ordered these because I wanted standard size pillows. I have a queen size from Z by Malouf and I love it but it"s rather underfilled. So soft and smooshy. The Linenspa pillows are better filled but the shredded foam is kind of stiff and crunchy. I guess not all "Talaly" shredded foam is not the same. Shredded foam is way better than molded or memory foam because the first one doesn't squish and the second gives no support at all. I didn"t notice any smell either.
