Savvy Rest Pillow Review & Giveaway

About the same time I got my new bed I also got a new pillow. Hurray! Before getting to test drive the Savvy Rest Shredded Latex Pillow you see above I was using some organic cotton pillows that frankly were not that comfortable. In fact I was using two of them at once because they tended to get flatter and flatter with each passing day. I ended up passing my pillows on to my daughter, along with my old bed actually. While neither is that great IMO they are better than what she currently had. Why is it that kids pillows always end up stained and gross even if you have rules about food in the bedroom???

Anyway, Savvy Rest sells lots of organic and natural bedding products including natural mattresses. When my pillow arrived it came over stuffed so I had to remove quite a bit of the shredded latex filling. I ended up bagging it and it will hang out in my closet until I figure out a way to reuse it. It is super soft Dunlop and natural Talalay latex rubber that is shredded into tiny pieces. I am am not big on the big blocks of latex that make up contoured pillows so this seemed like the perfect compromise. The cover is organic cotton.

I have been using it for a few weeks now and I quite like it. Being able to add/remove the filling allows you to customize it to your preferred comfort level. If you like a firm pillow no problem. If you like a soft pillow that is no problem either just remove the fill as needed. I find that I needed to remove quite a bit since I have a memory foam mattress that I tend to sink into. I imagine I could make another pillow with what I have left over. ;) Plus the cover is removeable so that it can be washed if it gets dirty.

From what I could tell (from my phone), you have to be on Twitter to enter the raffle. I don’t want to join any more things on line. I already spend too much time. But I would have loved a chance at the pillow!

Thank you for this review and givaway.

I like that it has the ability to add or remove stuffing. I bought a pillow made for side or stomach sleepers and it is too soft. But the pillows for back sleepers are too hard! Picky me. LOL

I would love to win this! We shelled out way too much money a year ago for buckwheat hull pillows, and then neither of us liked them :( We ended up going back to our cotton pillows and giving the buckwheat pillows to our son. He thinks they’re fine, and he has two $50 pillows on his bed now. I love that these are overstuffed – I could get one and make it into a pillow for each of us!

This would be so great to win! My husband and I really need new pillows, but he’s still iffy on organic because it’s expensive. It would be perfect timing!

This is a very timely post! I have been trying to decide what type of new pillows I should buy for my whole family. I invested in a savvy rest mattress a few years ago and I love it! You are able to pick the different layers you’d like for your mattress to customize to your needs. Thank you for the chance to win this!

Sounds like a great pillow! I have a kapok filled pillow, but it seems to flatten out pretty quickly.

Sleep is often a fleeting thing for me, so this pillow sounds like it is right up my alley; I would love to take it for a sleep spin, lol Thanks for the opportunity!!

This sounds like a wonderful pillow, and I love the fact that you can adjust the pillow itself. I need one of these ASAP :)

I would LOVE to try out this pillow… have numerous pillows and yet to find just the right one! As I have a life threatening spinal problem, finding the right pillow is important.; I now have an awesome bed, but am still in search of the right pillow…

I have a king organic mattress for us and both kids have toddler organic mattresses. We use organic pillows too. The hardest part has been finding an organic pillow that does not go flat! Would love to check this one out.

Weather I win or not( although of course I want to! :) I think it is super awesome that you have this blog and these give away. I also came across a website via your blog Ecocentric Mom and was super stoked. It is sad that the world has made what is right hard and it is refreshing to know that there are small blessings. Regardless, thanks for what you do!!!!!!!
