WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
The Egg Crate Latex Side Sleeper Pillow is a unique mix of egg crate design with side sleeper pillow ergonomics. Let’s start with the egg crate design - it has a raised and lowered surface that contours very well, creating a gentle massaging feel, helping spread out pressure more evenly, and easing tension around your head and neck. Now add in the U-shaped cutout at the bottom, which gives your shoulder space to rest naturally instead of being squished up against the pillow. Together, these features keep your upper body well-aligned while giving you a level of comfort that flat pillows just can’t match.
Latex is a naturally breathable material. Its internal structure is open-celled, which allows air to flow through it much more freely than in memory foam pillows. Additionally, we've added small holes (perforations) to improve airflow capacity. All of this, together, leads to great moisture and heat dissipation properties in our egg crate pillow, making sure you sleep cool.
Latex foam is highly responsive and contouring, giving you instant bounce-back when you lie your head down or shift around. The level of comfort remains consistent throughout. There’s none of that uneven sinkage you often get with cheaper pillows. And since organic latex is built to last (five years or more), these pillows won’t compress too soon. They hold up way longer than most others out there.
The egg crate pillow is also suitable for back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and combination sleepers, thanks to its 4-inch loft. And the egg crate design, with its passive massaging effect, proves to be a great companion when you're relaxing, reading books, watching TV, or just unwinding after a long day.
Latex is a milky white sap tapped from rubber trees. That sap gets whipped, poured into molds, and baked using the Dunlop method - a process that gives our pillows their dense, supportive feel. Compared to Talalay latex, Dunlop is firmer and requires less energy to produce. Its higher density also makes it more durable. And because we use GOLS-certified organic latex, you're getting a material that’s not just comfortable, but also clean and sustainable, making it better for the planet from start to finish.
For touch and texture, we wrap our egg crate pillows in the finest organic cotton casing (zippered for convenience). Every step of the process, from planting and growing to harvesting and processing, follows strict organic standards approved by GOTS. By avoiding toxic herbicides, pesticides, and synthetic fertilizers, these farming methods support healthier soil, safer conditions for farm workers, lower water use, and a better end product for you.
We highly recommend adding a pillow protector to keep your egg crate pillow safe and secure, away from airborne impurities, allergens (like dust mites), liquid spills, hard-to-remove stains, and the like. Our top recommendation is the Organic Cotton Sateen Zippered Pillow Protector Cover. It's undyed and unbleached, made with soft 400 thread count sateen weave cotton.
Looking to partner up our egg crate pillows with a mattress? Look no further than our latex mattresses. We've got a wide collection - from all-foam to hybrid, DIY, Bigg+, and flippable designs. Every mattress uses natural latex foam, combined with top-notch organic materials like cotton, wool, and recycled steel. If you love our pillows, you're sure to love our mattresses.
Pro-Tip: Turmerry pillows are much easier to maintain if protected with an outer cover. We recommend using washable covers to make the maintenance process much easier for you.
Try these (they fit best!) -
Spot-clean in case of spillage - If you spill anything on the pillow, do not wash the cover or the latex foam in a machine, as they aren't machine washable. All you have to do is remove the cover first, then obtain a sponge and gently spot-clean the liquid-stained area (on both the cover and foam) with cold water and mild detergent. Make sure to fully dry everything before putting the cover back on and resuming use.
Avoid long-term exposure to sunlight/heat - Our pillows should not be exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time. Exposure to severe heat above 85 degrees Fahrenheit should also be avoided. As the pillows are made from latex, excessive sunlight or heat can lead to a breakdown in the integrity of the material, reducing its lifespan.
Handle with care - If proper care isn't practiced when handling our pillows, they may rip or tear. Be gentle when taking them out of the packaging; place them with care on your mattress. They may also absorb dust/dirt easily, depending on where you live, and could become difficult to clean if left unprotected (without a cover).
Clean regularly - Vacuum the pillow's surface every month or so. Avoid eating and drinking on it, and spot-clean spills/stains immediately. All of these steps can lead to a long-lasting pillow.
Latex is the white, milky sap harvested from rubber trees. It’s turned into foam and used in pillows, mattresses, mattress toppers, bedding, etc., for its comfort and durability. What makes latex stand out is that it’s a natural, renewable material, especially when it’s certified organic (by GOLS, OEKO-TEX). Rubber trees can be tapped for years without being cut down, which makes latex a more sustainable choice compared to synthetic foams made from petroleum.
The different types of latex are -
When someone says "latex," they're not necessarily talking about the natural stuff from rubber trees. It could be synthetic, blended, or natural – the term alone doesn't tell you much.
If a product is labeled "organic latex" or "natural latex," don't just take their word for it. Ask to see certifications that prove its purity. Companies that use genuine organic/natural latex are usually happy to display their certifications, as they take pride in the quality.
Unlike a regular pillow with a flat surface, the egg crate pillow has a contoured, “peaks and valleys” design that creates a light massaging effect while you sleep. It also features a U-shaped cutout at the bottom, so your shoulder fits comfortably without pushing your head out of alignment.
Paired with organic Dunlop latex, it gives side sleepers the right mix of pressure relief, breathable cooling, and spinal support that standard pillows often miss.
The egg crate pillow can hold up for about three to five years. With proper care, it can last even longer. It doesn't flatten out and lose shape the way cheaper synthetic pillows do. The natural resilience of latex keeps the pillow comfortable night after night, without that early sag you get with most regular pillows.
No. Do not put your egg crate pillow in the washing machine. Soaking it in water or tossing it in a wash cycle can damage the foam and break it down over time.
If it needs cleaning, spot-clean only. Here’s how -
Mix a little mild detergent with warm water. Dip a clean cloth/sponge in the solution, gently blot the stain, and avoid rubbing too hard. Then, use another damp cloth/sponge to wipe away any soap residue. Let the pillow air dry completely, but keep it out of direct sunlight.
To keep it cleaner longer, we recommend using a pillow protector.
Yes, the egg crate pillow works beyond side sleeping. Back and stomach sleepers benefit from its gentle, massaging surface that eases pressure on sensitive areas. And with a 4-inch loft, it stays low enough to keep the head and neck in line, making it comfortable across multiple sleep positions.
It depends on what you like in a pillow. Shredded latex is made from very small pieces of latex foam, which makes the pillow more adjustable and moldable. You can fluff it, scrunch it, or even remove some fill to get the exact height and feel you want. It’s great if you like a softer, more customizable pillow.
Solid latex, on the other hand, gives you a more consistent shape and feel. It’s bouncier, responsive, and tends to hold its structure better over time - ideal if you like a pillow that stays in place without shifting around.
A Dunlop latex core and a Talalay latex core are made differently and feel different as a result. Dunlop latex is made by whipping natural rubber sap into a froth, pouring it into a mold all at once, and baking it. As it bakes, the heavier particles settle toward the bottom, which gives Dunlop a denser feel. It’s more energy-efficient and produces a durable foam that offers strong support, which is why we use it in our pillows.
Talalay latex goes through a few extra steps. After the sap is poured into the mold, it’s partially filled, then vacuum-sealed to evenly distribute the foam. It’s flash-frozen, then baked. This process creates a fluffier latex with soft density that feels more airy and plush. But it also takes more energy and resources to produce.
If you like more support and durability, a Dunlop latex pillow is the way to go. If you prefer more cushioning and consistency, a Talalay latex pillow might be more your style.
No. Our egg crate pillow actually sleeps cool. Latex has an open-cell structure, which means air can move through it more freely than with dense, synthetic foams like memory foam. On top of that, we add small perforations throughout the pillow to boost airflow even more. This helps heat and moisture escape instead of getting trapped inside.
The pillow cover matters, too. Ours is made from breathable organic cotton, which doesn’t trap heat like polyester blends often do.
All in all, organic latex is temperature-neutral, which means it doesn’t overheat or feel too cold. It just stays comfortably cool throughout the night, especially compared to memory foam and other conventional pillows that trap body heat.
Yes. Egg crate pillows are well-known for providing enhanced pressure relief due to their convoluted shape, which provides a massaging effect. Additionally, they provide solid support, which helps keep your head, neck, and shoulders in better alignment while you sleep.
They don’t sink unevenly or lose shape overnight, either, so you’re not constantly waking up sore. It’s not a cure, but a good egg crate pillow creates the right kind of environment, letting your body recover without making things worse.
In a lot of ways, yes. Latex egg crate pillows are better at cooling, more responsive and supportive, and last longer than memory foam.
Memory foam egg crate pillows tend to feel stuffy and slow to respond. They also hold onto heat, which can make you feel warmer at night.
Plus, if you go with organic latex, you’re avoiding the chemicals and synthetic materials found in memory foam, making it a healthier, more eco-friendly option overall.
When it’s brand new, you might notice a light, vanilla-like scent. That’s just the natural smell of latex. It’s not toxic or chemical like the scent of memory foam, and it usually fades within a few days. Just airing the pillow out for a bit will help it clear up faster.
We recommend adding one, yes. It helps protect your egg crate pillow from spills, stains, and everyday wear, keeping it fresher for longer. Go with something breathable, like an organic cotton cover or bamboo cover, so you don’t lose that cool feel latex is known for.
Nope. The egg crate pillow doesn’t need any fluffing. It’s a single solid piece of latex foam that holds its shape on its own. No squishing or refluffing needed.
Yes, no problem at all. Our egg crate pillows work great on adjustable beds. They stay supportive whether you're lying flat or propped up. And they’re dense enough to hold their shape under a weighted blanket, without getting crushed.
Look for certifications that are trusted and verified. The big ones are -
If an egg crate latex pillow has a mix of these, you’re getting one of the best there is.
