Frequently asked questions
The things we get asked most — how latex sleeps, what it's made of, delivery and the trial, and looking after your pillow. Search below, or browse by topic.
Sleep & comfort
Side sleepers usually want a taller, firmer loft to fill the gap between ear and shoulder; back sleepers want a medium loft; stomach sleepers want a slim, soft one. The Contour comes in Slim, Regular and Tall, and the Standard in several heights. Try our pillow finder or the Sizing guide — and the 100-night trial means you can test your choice with nothing to lose.
Natural latex is supportive-but-springy — firmer than down or polyester, softer than memory foam feels after it hardens in a cold room. It compresses where you press and springs back instantly, so your head is held rather than swallowed.
No. Natural latex has an open-cell structure, and every pillow is moulded with thousands of tiny pinholes, so air moves through it rather than being trapped. It sleeps cooler and more evenly than memory foam, which tends to hold heat.
New latex has a faint, slightly sweet natural smell — a bit like vanilla. It's harmless, it's not chemical off-gassing, and it fades within a few days of unboxing. Air the pillow in a ventilated room and it disappears faster.
Material & safety
100% natural latex, tapped from rubber trees and moulded and cured in Sri Lanka, inside a soft cotton cover. No memory foam, no synthetic-latex blends, no added fillers — just pure latex.
Our latex carries 12 independent certifications — including GOLS (organic latex), OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class 1, GOTS, eco-INSTITUT, USDA and EU Organic, and carbon-neutral manufacturing. Together they verify the latex is genuinely natural, organically grown, and tested free of harmful substances at every step. No single certification covers all of that, which is why there are twelve. See the Our Latex page for the full list.
Natural latex is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mould, and bacteria. The OEKO-TEX Class 1 certification means it's tested safe even for babies. If you have a diagnosed latex contact allergy, note the latex is enclosed in a cotton cover, but consult your doctor first.
Yes — our latex is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class 1, the strictest class, which means it is tested safe even for babies. We also make a right-sized Kids range and a Baby Donut pillow in the same natural latex.
Ordering, delivery & trial
Shipping is free and tracked, anywhere in Australia. We dispatch within 1 business day and delivery takes 2–4 business days, with a tracking link emailed the moment your order ships. Regional and remote areas can take a little longer.
Sleep on the pillow for up to 100 nights. If it's not right, contact us for a free return and a full refund — no return shipping cost, no restocking fee.
No. If you return a pillow within the 100-night trial, we email you a prepaid return label — there's nothing to pay. For hygiene, returned pillows are never resold; they're donated to charity instead.
Once we receive your returned pillow, your full refund goes back to your original payment method within 5 business days. Your bank can take a few extra days to show it.
Pay by card through our secure Stripe checkout, or split the cost with Klarna or Zip where shown at checkout. All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST.
Care & warranty
The cotton cover unzips and is machine washable. The latex core itself should never be machine washed or tumble dried — spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry away from direct sunlight.
Always use a pillowcase, air the pillow out for an hour or two each month, and keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, which breaks latex down over time. Natural latex resists dust mites, mould and bacteria on its own, so it stays fresh with very little effort.
Every pillow has a 2-year warranty from delivery, covering defects in materials and workmanship such as splitting, crumbling or loss of shape beyond normal wear. It doesn't cover machine-washing the latex core, stains, or the normal gradual softening every pillow material experiences. This is on top of your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
