Where should I start when choosing a latex pillow?

Choosing the right pillow always starts with your primary sleeping position.

What matters most is the position you fall asleep in — before you begin turning during the night. This is considered your main position, and it determines the correct height, firmness, and shape of the pillow.

This approach helps avoid the most common mistake: choosing a pillow based on habit rather than proper neck support.

Which pillow is right for my sleeping position?

Back sleepers

For sleeping on your back, low to medium-height pillows with gentle cervical support work best.

For average body types, models such as LICHI and DOLPHIN provide balanced support.

For people with a larger body frame (higher weight or broader shoulders), the CLASSIC model is often more suitable due to its greater height and stability.

Side sleepers

Side sleeping requires a higher and firmer pillow to keep the head and neck aligned with the spine.

Recommended models include DOLPHIN, DRAGON, and CLASSIC.

Stomach sleepers

Sleeping on the stomach requires a very low and soft pillow to minimize strain on the neck.

Suitable options include LICHI and a soft comfort / cuddle pillow.

The CANDY model can also work for stomach sleeping only for larger individuals, as its compact, rounded shape compresses correctly under higher body weight and is comfortable to hug.

3/4 sleeping position (between back and side)

This position involves sleeping partially turned and changing positions during the night.

Well-suited models include CANDY, DURIAN, and LICHI.

Why is pillow height so important?

Pillow height directly affects neck alignment and spinal posture.

Back sleepers need a lower pillow
Side sleepers need a higher pillow

The correct height always depends on height, weight, and body structure.

This is why the same pillow can feel completely different to different people.

Proper height helps prevent neck tension, shoulder pressure, and morning stiffness.

How do firmness and softness affect comfort?

Firmness determines how the pillow feels and supports you during sleep.

A firmer pillow provides more stable, structured support
A softer pillow adapts more easily to the head and neck

As a general rule:

Back sleepers usually feel more comfortable with a softer, more adaptive latex.

Side sleepers benefit from firmer latex to prevent the pillow from compressing too much under the head.

Correct neck support is achieved through the combination of height and firmness, not by focusing on just one factor.

Does pillow shape really matter?

Yes — pillow shape helps the body adapt naturally when changing positions, rather than locking you into one posture.

Pillows with neck rolls can work for both back and side sleepers — the key factor is the pillow’s height.
Pillows with raised corners are designed for smooth transitions: the lower center supports back sleeping, while turning naturally places the head on a higher corner suitable for side sleeping.
Pillows with shoulder cut-outs improve comfort when lying on the back by reducing pressure on the shoulder area and allowing the neck to rest in a more anatomical position.

This design philosophy supports natural movement during sleep.
