Review on Pure Talalay Bliss Breathable Shapeable by Tom Duncan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Comfort and support

This pillow shrinks but quickly comes to life once you unpack it. I paid $49.99, I think it was a promotion. As much as I love these pillows, I would never pay $100 for them. This pillow has a really strong smell, but it's not a chemical smell, it's a rubber smell. Oh yes, it's latex, and latex is rubber. However, I put the dryer down and just dropped it with no heat for about an hour and it helped a lot. It's been a week and I can still smell it but eventually it will go away completely. My problem was that when I opened the package it had what appeared to be a marker mark on it. Initially I made a return/exchange and planned on just exchanging it. Then I decided to wash that outer cover and the stain actually came out. The item has already been shipped. So will I have to return one or choose to keep both and only pay for the second one. However, there doesn't seem to be enough latex in the pillow, I think she may need more, but I had a regular sized pillow protector and I put it on and this queen sized pillow and it was folded enough to make it fuller and to make bigger . . In terms of comfort, it's a great cushion and outer shell that's surprisingly smooth and keeps you cool. I recommend this pillow! I found that the seller answered my questions and/or concerns. Buy it, you won't regret it. :) Update: 5/8/21 The smell is completely gone. I absolutely love these pillows. I'll spare one thing I said about the need for more latex. Now that I've been using the pillow for a while, the loft is really perfect. I mostly sleep on my back but sometimes I sleep on top of a hill. The best pillow I've ever bought. The crashed latex supports the contours of my head and neck very well. Again I wouldn't pay $100 for this pillow as or other latex options and cheaper. One thing I've never gotten a straight answer on is whether this pillow is made out of 100% Talalay latex or if other synthetics have been added. You will not answer this question. I don't think it's 100%, which is why I'm saying it's not worth $100 for a pillow.
