What we like about the Savvy Rest Organic Latex Soap-Shaped Pillow
This molded latex pillow is firmer than the company’s Talalay pillow and most shredded latex pillows but isn’t so firm as to feel like a brick.
In fact, the soft Dunlop latex feels very similar to a medium-firm memory foam but is much more breathable, supportive, and responsive. Savvy Rest uses smart perforations to promote airflow through the pillow, making it a great choice even if you sleep hot.
Dunlop latex also tends to smell less rubbery than Talalay latex and has lower allergenicity.
Savvy Rest offers this pillow in three sizes:
- Standard: Length 24-inch, Width 16-inch
- Queen: Length 28-inch, Width 18-inch
- King: Length 34-inch, Width 16-inch.
This latex pillow comes in a removable organic cotton flannel pillowcase that you can handwash in cold water and line dry. The cotton is unbleached and undyed, just like Savvy Rest’s super affordable bed sheets (see our review).
Downsides to the Savvy Rest Organic Dunlop Latex Soap-Shaped Pillow
Dunlop latex is denser and heavier than the Talalay rubber in Savvy Rest’s Talalay latex pillows. While we don’t have the exact weights of the three pillow sizes, expect this pillow to be quite heavy and a tad cumbersome to move around.
This isn’t the kind of pillow you’ll be folding over, squashing, or adjusting all night. Instead, it will need to work as is, given that it is molded into shape and not adjustable.
The only other downside to this pillow is that there’s no option to return it should the height or firmness prove unsuitable. Savvy Rest doesn’t do returns unless there’s a manufacturing defect.
Sustainability at Savvy Rest
Dunlop is a durable, supportive type of latex. Savvy Rest sources its Dunlop latex from rubber tree farms certified organic to U.S. standards. This latex also meets the Global Organic Latex standard (GOLS).
Savvy Rest is a Benefit Corporation owned by its employees. It is also charitable, donating pillows to domestic violence shelters and a portion of profits to reforestation charities. Savvy Rest also offsets its estimated annual carbon emissions through the Carbon Fund.
Expect some single-use plastic with your new Savvy Rest pillow. This is minimal and can be recycled along with other soft plastics. Still, we’d love to see Savvy Rest switch to more sustainable packaging materials.
Final thoughts on Savvy Rest’s Organic Latex Soap-Shaped Pillow
The Savvy Rest Soap-Shaped Latex Pillow is a good option for side-sleepers looking for a low-loft latex pillow. It may also work well for some back-sleepers but is likely too tall for most stomach-sleepers. The other latex pillows from Savvy Rest and Rawganique are even taller, while Turmerry’s Low-Profile Latex Pillow (see our review) is the right height for stomach-sleepers but likely too low and soft for most other adults and best suited to toddlers.

Because this soap-shape pillow is made of molded latex, you can’t adjust the height, unlike with Savvy Rest’s four adjustable pillows. Be sure that the 5-inch height will work for you needs before ordering, as Savvy Rest doesn’t do returns.
