Wouldn’t you appreciate a NATURAL Memory Foam Pillow?
Essentia Classic Pillow Review
Essentia Classic Pillow $199
For this Essentia Classic pillow review, I was provided samples for review.
The Chief Blonde Remarks: I was sent an Essentia Classic Pillow for review. I currently sleep on a Latex Pillow so I was excited to contrast the Essentia Classic pillow to my own. The Essentia Classic pillow is made from Natural Memory Foam. Essentia and Tempur-pedic are the only Natural Memory Foam pillow producers in the North America.
What is NATURAL memory foam?
Essentia Natural Memory Foam is is made using hevea milk (rubber tree sap). It feels like the memory foam we all know and love, but it’s made without the gunk. Gunk you say? Yes, other memory foam manufactures claim to have eco memory foam, plant-based foam or containing natural properties, boasting green tea memory foam, Bio-Pur memory foam or soy memory foam. But alas, as noted by Essentia, in all cases, petroleum based foam is used, with 2-15% of the petroleum being replaced with soy or cedar oil, allowing the product to be promoted as “natural” or “eco-friendly”. Not very “Natural” in my book.
Latex Pillows versus Natural Memory Foam Pillows?
Latex mattresses are known for being durable, natural and healthy. Memory foam mattresses are known for their pressure relief and comfort…but are full of gunk. That’s why Essentia invented a natural memory foam. Essentia has an extensive discussion on this topic over on their website which I found fascinating. Yes, it’s a discussion presented by the manufacturer of Natural Memory Foam. I found it to be quite balanced. Read: What’s better, Latex or Memory Foam Mattresses?
My final weigh in of Natural Memory Foam versus Latex
I love my Latex pillow. I have had one since I was tiny due to my excessive allergies to feather pillows. When I tried the Essentia Classic Pillow, I was dubious. The Classic pillow is made from 100% Natural Memory Foam, weighs in at 5 pounds, and is designed to mold itself to your exact body shape to evenly distribute head and neck weight, reducing pressure that often causes stiffness, poor sleep, and pain. Essentia Products are made in Canada
Each night when I slept on the pillow, I had a hard time going to sleep. It was not “My” pillow so I think it took some time to develop a comfortable relationship with it. On the flip side, each morning I woke up from a deep sleep, lovely dreams and no aches and pains. My latex pillows always take some time to get rid of the “Smell” before I can sleep on them. Not true with the Classic Essentia. I slept on it from the first night I received it and noticed no latent smell. My overall opinion? Better than almost all other pillow I have slept on and equivalent to my latex pillow.

I like the Swayback. I prefer thin pillows in general and this one is good for sleeping on my back.
I think the classic because I tend to tuck my pillow around my head & the edge under my chin… weird… huh?
I love the travel pillow!
Sorry, wasn’t done… I just washed the one I have in the wash and need a new one-it came apart. Loving the memory foam!
i like the classic because i think it would help me sleep better.
The swayback…I can’t use too thick of a pillow.
I like the Ergonomic because I am a side sleeper with neck problems. 🙂 Thank you.
Forma Spa possibly because I’m a side sleeper and this pillow looks much better than anything I currently own.

I think the Classic would be the best choice for me. I don’t sleep in any one position and I think this one would be the most versatile for my sleep patterns.
I like the Ergonomic pillow. This pillow says it’s good for neck support and I need all the neck support I can get.
The swayback. Love the thin pillow!
ilike to try the flat one and see if would work on my neck and shoulders they are suppose to be able to contor to your head
I would love to get the Ergonomic one for my husband. He needs a new people and sleeps on his side and back. Plus, it looks a little bit thicker, he doesn’t like thin pillows.
The Ergonomic would be great since it looks well-designed and provides back comfort!
I like the classic because it is made of memory foam
I would love the Ergonomic because it is a specially molded pillow made from Natural Memory Foam and is designed for side & back sleepers.
Benefits
This shape was specially designed for ultimate neck support.
Natural = Breathable.
Ergonomic because it has neck support.
I like the Forma Spa, I am always sleeping on my side and I can’t ever get comfortable! this would definitely help!
I love The Classic Pillow..Because This material molds itself to your exact body shape to evenly distribute head and neck weight,
reducing pressure that often causes stiffness, poor sleep, and pain. This is the one I need for my shoulder and neck.. Awesome..
I like the SwayBack. I do find it difficult to find a pillow that is just right. I don’t like bulky pillows and don’t like to sleep on paper thin pillows, might as well not even use one if it’s so thin.
Forma Spa
The Forma Spa pillow looks like the pillow I would love to own for I generally sleep on my side and it is made for side and back sleepers.
