Question from chris
I know that simmons products are not usually safe (as they have chemicals in them). But they advertise a latex pillow that I am wondering if it is safe. It is made with Talalay latex. This is the website I am looking at:

thanks.
Debra’s Answer
First, let me just suggest that you shop on Debra’s List to find products that are truly natural and toxic free. You can find many natural pillows on the Beds & Bedding page of Debra’s List.
Now, FYI about choosing latex pillows…
First, you want 100% natural latex and even better, GOLS certified organic latex.
This description clearly says it’s “blended latex” which means it’s part natural and part petrochemical, like the rubber tires are made from. I don’t know what “authentic Talalay latex foam” is. Authentic?
This description says to me the latex is not organic and is cut with toxic petroleum-based rubber.
I can’t recommend this pillow.
