Natura World Vibrance Pillow

Natura World Vibrance Pillow, StandardI've become tired of replacing polyester fill pillows over and over again. I've tried memory foam, feather, down, mixed and I've never found the "right" one until now. This is it.

Let me begin by saying I have a lot of sleep issues. I rotate and sleep on my stomach, both sides and back during the night. I can't stay in one position very long because it is too painful. I need a pillow that can support me no matter what my position. I like to bunch and fold my pillows so they are just the right shape and thickness, whatever that may be at the moment. In the past I've had some luck with feather pillows, but I found the feathers and dust to be intolerable. Down pillows did not provide enough support. Foam pillows did not have enough flexibility. So I stuck with standard polyester fill pillows for years. However replacing them frequently as they lose their loft seemed very wasteful. I wanted a "permanent" pillow.

I've seen other reviews which say they have owned latex pillows for well over a decade. Wool pillows are the same. So this should hold up over time. If standard polyester pillows cost $5 each and are replaced every 6 months, this pillow will only need to last 3.5 years to cost the same over time. It could easily last three times that long and end up saving money.

The core is granulated latex, not a solid piece, so it is very "scrunchable." It reminds me of a pillow with a feather core and down wrap as far as support. You'll probably like it if you like soft or medium pillows. It may not satisfy those who like a firm or extra firm pillow, although it is very supportive. For firm/extra firm lovers I recommend a solid wool pillow instead. The thin wool wrap on this pillow does help keep your head from overheating. This was a common complaint of mine until recently. I hate waking up with my head sweaty, but that doesn't happen now. I can scrunch it over and over again during the night and it's still just as fluffy as the first night. With the king size I can bend it into a U shape to support my head, neck and arms at the same time. It's very huggable and supports my knees well if I use it as a side pillow. I really don't have any complaints about it. I hope they never stop making this pillow because I don't ever want to sleep with a different pillow again. I'm buying more today.

We were tired of buying and replacing cheap pillows that would lose their support within a few weeks, so I researched and discovered latex filled pillows. Love that these are all natural/unbleached, and filled with granulated latex so there's a little more give. They're very comfortable. I'm an all-positions sleeper (but mostly side) and like a good amount of firmness/support, my girlfriend is similar. We both love these pillows. They're not super firm, about medium, but they offer just enough support and they don't go soft/flat over time. Great pillows, and they seem like they'll last a long time. I'll update this if anything changes. Update: 5 months, still great.

I used these pillows for the first time last night and, after getting accustomed to a firmer pillow, had a great night's sleep. For side sleepers, the extra support reduces stress on shoulders--a big difference for those of us with shoulder issues! I love these pillows and would consider them a bargain at twice the price.

Like many, I've purchased dozens of pillows in my life and have never found one to suit my needs...until now. This one is cozy! It is light and fluffy but has just the right support for my noggin. There is a very faint, subtle odor to the pillow at first but it was gone after one day. I'm a side/stomach sleeper who can finally rest easy....I'd recommend this little gem to anyone!

I bought this a few weeks ago, and wanted to really try it out before writing a review. When you are used to a particular pillow, even if you wish it were better, a change can be disruptive, and I did not want to "take it out" on this product. I think for many potential buyers this will be a great pillow. For those who are stomach sleepers as I generally am, then it may not be as good a choice. For further details, please keep reading.

This pillow is different from any that I have owned previously. There is a bit of a chemical smell to it when new, but this dissipates after a few days as noted by other reviewers. One thing that you also notice right away is its weight. It is a dense heavy pillow. It has some give, but it is on the firmer side as far as pillows go, less firm than some memory foam pillows (from Costco) I have tried, but substantially firmer than feather/down pillows and synthetic fill pillows I have owned. If/when I sleep on my back, I find the pillow is comfortable. If you sleep on your side, the loft and firmness provide good neck support, and also make for a comfortable experience. So if you spend 90% of your time sleeping on your back or side, then add one to two stars to my rating. I think you would probably be quite happy with this pillow.

I spend 90% of my time sleeping on my stomach. For this sleeping position, the firmness and loft that work well for other sleeping positions become negative features. It is difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position when your spine is being bent backwards. I thought that after some period of time, the pillow might compress, form a bit of depression, provide neck support, and that this would make the pillow a bit more comfortable. So far this has not happened. The pillow seems to be maintaining its loft.

I am alternating between this pillow and a Hammacher-Schlemmer European goose down pillow (medium density). These down pillows go for close to $200 on the Hammacher-Schlemmer website. If you go to EBay and do searches for down pillows, you will occasionally find these from wholesalers and overstock sites for about $30-$50. They don't tell you it is Hammacher-Schlemmer. You have to compare the language of the ad with the language of the ad on the Hammacher-Schlemmer site. They do have a Hammacher-Schlemmer tag when you get them. So if you are a stomach sleeper and are patient, this might be a better solution. I checked on the day that I posted this review, and there were none listed, but after the holidays is a good time to look.
