The R.E.M 2.0 is a shredded latex pillow featuring shredded natural latex fill. The shredded format gives it a moldable, responsive feel that conforms to your head and neck. Queen size with a comfortable medium profile.
Queen size. Natural shredded latex, not synthetic foam. The shredded format gives it a moldable, responsive feel while still maintaining the supportive properties that make latex a popular material for people with neck concerns.
Shredded Latex vs Solid Latex
A solid latex pillow maintains a fixed height and profile. It's consistent and very supportive, but you get what you get. Shredded latex addresses the most common complaint about solid latex pillows: the fixed height doesn't work for everyone. The shredded format makes the pillow more moldable, so you can scrunch it to a shape that suits you, similar to how a down pillow behaves but with more rebound.
The trade-off with shredded latex is that it can feel slightly lumpy compared to solid latex or memory foam. Some people love this; others prefer the uniformity of a solid core. We carry both formats in our pillow collection if you want to compare. See also the REM Latex Foam Rubber Pillow for the solid version, and the Talalay Ultimate Latex Pillow for the premium end of our latex range.
A pillow protector over the top adds a washable layer between you and the latex.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is shredded latex?
Natural latex broken into small pieces rather than formed as a solid block. The shredded format makes the pillow moldable and responsive. It still has the resilient, bouncy quality of latex but behaves more like a traditional pillow in terms of how you can shape it.
Does a new latex pillow have a smell?
Natural latex has a slight rubber or earthy smell when new. This is normal and not harmful. It typically fades within a few days of airing out. If you're sensitive to smells, air the pillow out of its packaging for 24-48 hours before use.
Is latex better than memory foam for a pillow?
They're different rather than one being better. Latex is more resilient and springy; it pushes back against your head. Memory foam molds and contours more closely. Latex also sleeps cooler than memory foam in most cases. Which you prefer is genuinely personal, and the best way to know is to try both.
How long does a shredded latex pillow last?
3-5 years typically, sometimes longer with a pillow protector. Shredded latex tends to compress slightly more over time than solid latex, but it still outlasts synthetic fills significantly.
