Dunlop Latex Pillows: Buying Guide
The primary role of a pillow is to provide proper support for the sleeper, ensuring the space between the neck and shoulder, often referred to as the loft, is comfortably filled. If your neck and shoulders lack proper support or are positioned at an unnatural angle, it can cause twisting that misaligns your spine and body. Over time, this misalignment may result in strain and discomfort in your neck and shoulders.
It’s important to note that choosing the right pillow is a highly subjective decision. No two individuals have the same sleeping habits or preferences, so there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. With that in mind, do remember that selecting the perfect pillow is an individual process, tailored to your specific needs and comfort.

Care and Maintenance
To maintain the quality of the pillows, please follow these simple but specific instructions:
Air Out
Leave the cushion to get air outside frequently by keeping it in a well-ventilated area. This aids in maintaining the feeling of freshness and the elimination of any odours that may accumulate with age.
Protect from Moisture: Keep the pillow away from direct sunlight and dampness, since prolonged exposure to these factors can deteriorate the latex material.
Use a Pillow Protector
Consider using a pillow protector or an extra pillowcase to protect the pillow from body oils, dust, and other contaminants. Make sure the protector is breathable to allow proper air circulation.
DO NOT USE Washing Machine/Dryer
Do not wash the latex pillow in a washing machine or dry it in a dryer, as this can damage the material. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the recommended method for cleaning. Please do not wash the pillow, as this will damage the foam.
Cleaning Recommendation
Spot clean any stains or spills on the pillow with a moderate detergent and lukewarm water on a regular basis. Harsh chemicals should be avoided, as they can harm the latex material. To remove stains, spot-clean using a cloth that is lightly moistened with mild soap and water. Rinse with a damp cloth. Wipe with a towel and allow the pillow to air-dry before covering it with a pillowcase or protector.
Storage
When not in use, store the pillow in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any potential damage.
