Best pillows and best service – EDIT 6/12/25: I bought some more pillows and read the tag which states, "Made in China". I was under the impression they were still made in Australia. I've had headaches every day from the new pillows. I forgot to let them "off" the chemicals in the garage for 2 weeks. I'm hoping they are the same as the ones I bought years ago. Take the below… Read more ·  1

review I wrote a while back with a grain of salt.

____________________________

If you want quality latex pillows then buy from www.tlclatexpillows.com.au. I have tried three different types from TLC and love them all.

In the past I have bought different brands of expensive and cheap latex pillows. I have two, which are 16 years old, that I tried to repurchase, but could not find the company. So I tried to find something similar or better, and I found better at TLC.

I sleep more comfortably and for longer periods than I have done in the past with any other pillow. I like the medium softness. I am an every position sleeper; back, side and tummy so I had to find a pillow to accommodate all positions.

How did I choose which ones to buy? They have a "Compare All Pillows At A Glance" page, which shows LENGTH CM, DEPTH CM, HEIGHT CM, DENSITY. I wanted pillows that fitted a standard sized pillowcase so I had three to choose from and decided to purchase all three. My favourite is the TLC Classic Plus. These also come in a cheaper 2 pack.

The primary reason I bought from TLC was this comment I found on Oz Bargain:

"...prior to starting our business we were with Pacific Dunlop and involved with Dunlopillo. The Talalay latex pillow experts out there know that the original Dunlopillo was an outstanding pillow - it kind of changed the pillow market. Then about 8 years ago they changed the factory that they use to manufacture and - to many people -the current Dunlopillo isnt as good as it used to be. Our pillows are made in the original factory, and our 'The Classic' is almost indistinguishable from the original Dunlopillo - except of course in price.

Our Talalay latex pillows are guaranteed for 5 years - but with good care (keep out of direct sunlight & use a pillow protector) they should last 10-15 years. As they are all natural latex the do not collect dust & dust mites - so do not need to be replaced frequently like a filled pillow.

Hope all this helps!"

I ended up returning one and purchasing another and the process was super easy and pleasant. It cost around $15 to post back. So there really is no risk in trying a pillow for under 30 days.

If I ever need a gift for people and don't know what to buy them, I'll just get them a classic plus pillow. Right now the 2 pack is on special.

TLC Latex Pillows is a great company, with lovely people and quality products. You will not be disappointed! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Birthday Present – I recently celebrated a major milestone birthday and was given two TLC king pillows, my first thought was who gives pillows for a birthday present??? But I’m sure glad they did as I am sleeping the best I have for the last 70 years on them!! My advice is don’t be afraid to give TLC pillows as presents Show reply

Wow wow King pillow and low,profile latex pillows – I have just brought the King and a low profile,soft . As I was used to down pillows, but also had a couple of Dunlop Latex pillows soft But these new pillows I have brought surpass all my pillow collection . They are out of this world luxury . I like a soft pillows d I was not sure with all the reviews about the and it’s high profile even though… Read more ·  1

soft, but honestly it is amazing best pillow I have ever had. It is soft but supportive . The low profile soft for back sleepers if also amazing . I love them both but think the king has it slightly but will use for different sleep times. I am about to order them both again . Pillows and comfort are so subjective , I am particularly fussy about my pillows and always brought expensive good down ethically sourced , but these pilllows surpass the goose down also. I have also tried memory foam and memory foam chips soft and ones you can. vary the loft . Nope memory foam ,they are no way close to goose down comfort now these Latex-pillows I have brought comfort wise, these are the best pillows I have ever owned. I have never written a review about pillows before and I am only doing this to help others decide about these pillows . The company was amazing I was nervous to buy as I have tried so many and been so disappointed time and time again.

Ohh and I no I no have gone on a bit sorry , but the pillow cases i brought for the king wonderful quality crispy and nice thickness , I wish they did sheets also I have asked (-:

of pillow you prefer to sleep on he will give you the best recommendation based on his professional experience. All their pillows are excellent quality and especially handy for those with allergies.

Bad neck – The first time i used it i could sort of feel that my neck wasnt supported and it made me realise why some other pillows have that arch bit for the neck, but i stuck with it hoping to get used to it but i just ended up with a really sore neck and constant headache at the back of my head for weeks, switched back to my old pillows and i was back to… Read more

Quality high, but be wary – I bought on the reputation of the company and these reviews. Don't doubt quality or good faith of TLC, but the pillows are light and blubbery. Not really usable even as props for reading, as they just sink against the hard back board. Don't get the point of them as they offer no more support than cheap poly "firm" pillows from a supermarket,… Read more

though they'll obvious last years longer.

Explanations were given, return was offered but return on bulky items not worth expense so I'm keeping for guests. It's back to the buckwheat or the old latex I was hoping to replace.

Absolutely FANTASTIC customer service. I purchased a pillow from TLC a few weeks back (as well as some pillow covers) but unfortunately it was unsuitable for me, so sent it back for an exchange to a different pillow. The team at TLC sent me new pillow covers as the previous ones I had purchased did not fit the new pillow I exchanged for,… Read more ·  1

completely complementary which was so thoughtful and kind.

The pillows themself are very soft and the odour is not offensive at all. And the pillow covers have a very luxurious feel.

Highly recommend this brand! Will be purchasing again!

Years of blissful sleep…… – I bought a couple of TLC Latex Classic pillows back in 2017 and after so many years of blissful sleep, the pillows are still in excellent condition and I've been recommending it to my family and friends when I hear they're looking for a good pillow! The pillows are soft but firm in supporting my head and neck. The height is also perfect. I've just… Read more ·  1

Resolved years of neck pain and headaches – I bought the classic after being recommended by my mother in law. I had very low expectations because I’ve wasted so much money on pillows, including other brand latex. None provided a good nights sleep and my neck pain and headaches got worse. Until now! The TLC classic seems to be the perfect density. It firmly supports my head in the right… Read more ·  1

Once you get one you’ll Want more! – This has been my favourite pillow of all time. Customer service has been excellent. First time I got one I bought one that that was too soft and low. On speaking with customer service they suggested the classic instead and so I exchanged the other one within the warranty period. Exchange was fairly easy. The classic has been perfect for me.

ended up getting a second as a spare which a friend started borrowing and fell in love with. She ended up buying her own too. I have also bought the wedge pillow which I love for a narrower pillow or when I’m trying to keep my head up like when I’m sick or to put against the bed head to read in bed.

Great quality pillows!

Highly Recommended – What can I say... Absolutely fantastic pillow's, a great price, a great product, and great customer service. I spent a fortune buying a heap of other pillows, and never found one that was as comfy and didn't hurt my neck - must be the Talalay Latex. After a few weeks on the pillow, I bought 3 more (one for my wife and 2 for the caravan). Very happy! A BIG thanks to the team at TLC, highly recommended. Show details ·  1

Great Fit! Very nice – I bought the TLC Classic Plus pillow (2 pk). Delivery was very quick. The pillows are large and fit a Queen bed really nicely, and fill out a standard pillowcase. The pillows are heavy, which means they don't slide around in the bed! Bonus! They had no smell, and we've both found them to be a great comfortable pillow after 6mth use. Show details ·  1

Best sleep we’ve ever had! – We have been using the Classic Plus pillows for a month now - we are sleeping so well and waking up feeling rested & refreshed every morning. Both my husband and I have had neck/shoulder problems this year but since we started sleeping on the TLC pillows we haven’t had any issues! Absolutely love them and would recommend them to anyone & everyone. Show details ·  1

Luxuriously comfy! – This is my second purchase from TLC. I've always used latex pillows and I initially bought the Classic (about 3 years ago) in the standard size....which was 60cms wide. I just assumed all pillows were the same width and didn't bother measuring, so my mistake. I've since discovered that 70cms is a more generous width, and the size I was more… Read more ·  1

accustomed to....so do your homework! I've just upgraded, as I've had a nagging shoulder injury for some time, and I found that I now need a slightly higher, more supportive pillow. After discussing my options via Facebook Messenger, I settled on the High and Soft....and I'm very happy with my choice. I slept better from night 1. It's soft, yet supportive and feels quite luxuriously comfy! I've teamed mine with a Minijumbuk cotton and wool padded pillow protector and I now feel like I have the perfect combination, especially for our long Qld summers.

Great pillow – I purchased the medium latex pillow, and I find it comfortable and supportive. In regards to a previous review, its not ideal to use to sit in bed with and lean up against, I use other pillows for that purpose, but for sleeping on, its perfect and helps with my neck pain. Show details ·  1

Great pillow – I have struggled for ages with neck and shoulder tension and pain that results in waking up with a headache many mornings. Worst way to start the day.

support pillows that I've been recommended in the past. There was a slight latex-y smell when I first unpackaged my pillow, but it faded away by the time I went to bed that day. Appreciate the free shipping and love to support Australian businesses. Thanks TLC.

Thanks TLC! – Fantastic customer service! After spending 6 months with a classic pillow (which was very comfortable by the way) I had a physio recommend a lower pillow. So I ordered the firm only to realise this one didn't quite suit me either (my own fault.) Amazingly Tim and Amanda were kind enough to offer to swap the pillow over despite a promotional discount AND I received the new one same day. The Therapeutic is amazing and I couldn't be happier.  Show details ·  1

Unbelieveable Customer Service – Where do I start? After months and months of time, sore necks and many dollars spent trying to find a pillow to replace my last latex pillow (that I had for 8 years)...finally a blissful night of sleep.

up helping me....but not TLC. Amanda has been so patient, helpful and understanding. She was so authentic in her care and interest in actually making sure I was happy, going over and above to swap my inital purchase (The Classic) over to The Bigger. She endured many an email, of me asking a number of questions because I was so nervous about wasting more money on pillows that just were not right. So for anyone who might be hesitant about buying a pillow online without being able to try it....please rest assured that Amanda and TLC will be with you every step of the way. They not only care about the quality of their product, but they absolutely care about you and your needs. So rare these days. I love my new pillow (amazing quality and now the perfect fit) and would have given TLC more than 5 stars, had that been an option.

I've waited 3 wks this time to write a review to ensure the quality is as good, & indeed it is!

I suffer severe migraines & to drop onto the soft Latex pillow is so helpful, which is why I'm writing this review. Have tried soft polyester/featherlatex, but these pillows are the absolute best!!

Do not hesitate, the others are imitations & you do get what you pay for.

Great for fidgety sleepers – I tried another non-latex but top-rated pillow and found that they needed increasingly vigorous puffing up if I changed position throughout the night.

started sleeping through the night again and waking up in a totally different position to that in which I fell asleep. Purchased the 2-pack so my wife can try it and she loves it so much; she remarked that she has started dreaming again.

Only downside is a slight odour immediately after removing the packaging, however this quickly dissipates even if you immediately shove them into a pillow case. Also it would be great if these came with exact-fit pillow cases as the pillow is slightly smaller than standard size.
