Choosing the Right Pillow: Memory Foam or Latex?

Pillows contribute up to 30% of your total comfort while sleeping! It is essential to choose the right pillow for both your sleeping position and your personal comfort.

Gel Dough Memory Foam and Talalay Latex pillows by Malouf represent the best in current pillow material technology. Gel Dough Memory Foam provides a dense but resilient sleeping surface, ideal for the side or back sleeper who desires a firmer pillow. Talalay Latex provides a softer, bouncier feel than memory foam. In addition, latex is a more natural material than memory foam. Side and back sleepers benefit from a low- or medium-loft Talalay latex pillow, depending on the preferred pillow thickness. Stomach sleepers typically prefer a low-loft latex pillow, which allows for a more natural alignment of the spine.

Shredded memory foam pillows are a budget-friendly alternative for those who seek memory foam at a lower cost. Shredded memory foam typically feels softer than solid foam, and is appropriate for a variety of sleeping positions.

Standard fiberfill pillows create cushion and lift, but not a customized support system. In addition, they become compressed over time. However, they are a budget-friendly option and especially helpful as a filling for decorative pillows.
