Pillows
When you’re on the hunt for the perfect pillow, there’s a long list of things to consider — not the least of which is material! Of course, different materials are going to offer different feels and levels of support, and a lot does come down to personal preference. But the truth is, personal taste aside, some constructions are going to be more compatible with certain sleep styles and body types. The key is finding the one that’s best for you.
Memory Foam Pillows
Memory foam is made from viscoelastic polyurethane. It was originally created for use by astronauts, though it never actually made it to space. It was actually first used in medicine in wheelchair seat cushions and post surgery padding before making the commercial transition to bedding. Memory foam was designed to be an innovative material, and thus has very unusual and unique properties.

Latex Pillows
Latex is a substance derived from the sap of rubber tree plants. It can be processed using two different methods: the Dunlop method, which results in denser, layered latex; and the Talalay method, which results in fluffier. Latex is a popular pillow material because it conforms closely to the sleeper’s neck and shoulders to alleviate pressure points, much like memory foam, but it is also highly durable; Like memory foam, it still conforms to your head and neck, but in a more buoyant way. It’s typically less dense and offers less of that slow sink and more of a light, supportive lift. Again, the feel and support of latex does also depend on its construction and the type of latex used Latex has such a super quick response to pressure, the latex adapts to your shape and moves with your body as you change positions.
