During testing we discovered that the shredded natural latex core provides excellent head and neck support.
We recommend it for side sleepers and combi sleepers in particular.
It’s also quite expensive, with a starting price of $165.

So is the Saatva Latex Pillow worth the cost and how does it compare with this year’sbest pillowsoverall?
Spoiler alert: yes, it is.
It’s encased in down alternative microdenier fibers and wrapped in an organic cotton cover.
The pillow also comes in two loft choices.
Stomach and back sleepers can use the standard loft which is 4" to 5" high.
However, the shredded latex core should be removed before laundering, since it is not machine washable.
A queen-size retails for $165; it’s $185 for a king-size.
Markdowns on individual pillows aren’t common, but you might avail of multi-buy discounts.
Purchase a pair of queen pillows for $40 off, or two king pillows for $60 off.
The Saatva Latex Pillow comes with a 45-night return window and a one-year limited warranty.
For example, two queen-size Saatva Latex Pillows go for $290 after $40 off.
That works out to $145 per pillow it’s $165 for a single queen-size pillow otherwise.

A 45-night trial and a one-year warranty apply.
The outer cover is made of organic cotton and has gusseted sides to help the pillow keep its shape.
(The inner layer of alternative down is made of organic cotton, as well.)

The outer cover and microdenier fill layer are machine-washable but the shredded latex core isn’t.
Saatva recommends washing the pillow twice a year.
Saatva touts the hypoallergenic properties of its pillow.
The brand explains that its latex goes through a rigorous cleaning process to eliminate proteins that may trigger allergies.
The use of a down alternative (instead of natural down) makes it more allergy-friendly, too.
I alternated between my side, back, and stomach to see how the pillow performed in those positions.
In either of those positions, I slept very comfortably on the Saatva Latex Pillows.
It helps that the pillows are huggable - my favorite key in.
My head and neck were in alignment, and I never woke up with aches and pains.
And since the pillow was so plush, it felt like I was sleeping on a cloud.
The pillows are also firm enough that I never had to re-fluff them.
Usually, when I finish testing pillows, I pass them on to family members.
However, theSaatva Latex Pillowswill remain in my home since I enjoy them so much.
Thankfully, I never woke up hot when sleeping on the Satava Latex Pillows.
Of course, natural latex is known for its breathability.
Should you buy the Saatva Latex Pillow?
Hands down, the Saatva Latex Pillow is one of the best pillows that Ive tested.
Besides the combo factor, the ability to choose your loft is another selling point.
My preference is a higher loft, but you may prefer a lower loft.
This allows Saatva to cater to as many sleepers as possible.
If you often wake up with a sweaty nape, consider giving this pillow a try.
The machine-washable components (save the latex core) add to the convenience.
You have airborne allergies:Natural down can trigger sniffles and sneezing.
Saatva uses microdenier fibers to mimic the softness of down, minus the allergies.
Saatva also says its washes the latex thoroughly to rid it of allergy-causing proteins.
It’s wrapped in a washable Tencel cooling cover.
In addition, it wicks moisture away for a cool night of sleep.
It comes in a standard or king size in three lofts: low, medium, and tall.
It comes with 100 nights to trial it at home, risk-free.
