What is the difference between latex pillows and memory foam pillows?

In the choice of pillows, the material is an aspect that people pay much attention to. Latex pillows and memory foam pillows are two common pillows. So, what is the difference between them?

Memory foam is a material made of viscoelastic polyurethane. This material will feel a little hard at first, but it will slowly soften due to body temperature as it comes into contact. As a bedding material, memory foam pillows can support the body well and relieve pressure.

There are two types of latex: natural latex and synthetic latex. Natural latex is made from the sap of rubber trees. Synthetic latex is made from styrene-butadiene rubber. The two feel almost the same, but there is a difference in durability. The characteristics of latex are elasticity and a cool feeling. Compared with memory foam pillows, latex pillows are softer.

Memory foam pillows can fit the curve of the head and neck and effectively relieve body pressure. Memory foam pillows are more suitable for people with tight shoulders and necks. Moreover, the prices of memory foam pillows vary, and people with different budgets can buy suitable pillows.

Latex pillows feel softer than memory foam pillows. For those who pursue softness, latex pillows are more suitable. In addition, since latex is a naturally cool material, it is very suitable for summer and for people who are afraid of heat.
