Getting the right pillow is one of those things you never realize how important it is until you start experiencing back pain or neck pain. Sleeping on a good pillow can improve your quality of sleep.

This should, however, not worry you. We’ve covered some of the key things to look for in the best pillows. Read on to find out more.

Tontine Pillow and Origin Coolmax at a Glance

For more than 60 years, Tontine has been one of the biggest bedding brands in Australia. The company is especially well known for its cotton and polyester pillows and polyester quilts. Tontine offers a wide selection of pillows, from allergy-sensitive products to pet pillows. Today, we will be reviewing the Tontine Comfortech Talalay Latex Pillow.

Origin Mattress Australia aims to offer Australians the best sleep at the most affordable prices. The company offers a wide range of premium quality products, such as mattresses, pillows, and mattress toppers. Origin Coolmax, its most popular pillow, is made from 100% hypoallergenic natural latex. The brand specializes in producing high-quality ergonomic pillows for all types of sleepers.

1) Pillow Construction & Maintenance (Verdict: Origin Coolmax Wins)

Tontine Pillow

Tontine ComfortTech Pillows are known for the high-quality Talalay latex construction that goes into each pillow. A rich blend of premium latex gives it superior resilience and durability.

This pillow is ideal for asthma and allergy sufferers because latex offers strong ventilation and is naturally hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial, and dust mite resistant. An outer cotton cover is included. It can be washed by hand or by machine.

Origin Coolmax

Similar to Tontine, Origin pillows are made of high-quality latex infused with Coolmax gel. A cooling gel in this pillow keeps you cool at night, while a latex core keeps heat from being trapped, which prevents overheating.

Additionally, the pillow’s cover can be machine-washed or hand-washed. Compared to cotton, it is naturally hypoallergenic and more breathable. This pillow is naturally anti-dust mite and antibacterial thanks to its latex core.

Verdict

In spite of the fact that both brands offer very similar constructions, Origin Coolmax seems to be the clear winner in this aspect due to the addition of additional cooling gel as well as Tencel material, which greatly enhances the cooling effect of the product as a whole.

2) Support+Comfort  (It’s a Tie)

Tontine Pillow

With Talalay Latex, Tontine Pillows have a longer life expectancy and maintain their shape for a longer period of time. Their high rebounding capabilities allow them to conform to your head and neck, relieving pressure points that may be causing pain. This medium-height and medium-feel pillow is designed to meet the needs of most people.

Origin Coolmax

The main component of Coolmax pillows is latex. Similarly to Tontine, natural latex relieves pressure points by its bouncy nature. The pillow provides complete head and neck support and relieves cervical spine discomfort.

Origin Coolmax material is designed to provide firm support for side sleepers and soft support for back sleepers. With a 13cm height, this pillow fits all types of sleepers, whether they sleep on their sides, backs, or stomachs.

Verdict

Tontine and Origin Coolmax are head-to-head in terms of their material construction and performance, as both use latex material in their designs. The best option for you ultimately depends on your personal preferences.

Which Pillow is Better?

The price and warranty periods of Origin Coolmax and Tontine Pillows cannot be ignored when comparing the two products. There is no doubt that Tontine pillows are 2x cheaper than Origin Coolmax pillows. The only drawback is that it does not have a trial period, so if you don’t like it, you might not be able to return it. On the other hand, Origin Coolmax offers a free trial period of 7 days. Considering the warranty period, Tontine offers a 5-year manufacturing warranty, which is much more than Origin’s 2-year warranty. 

As each pillow has its own pros and cons, choosing one really depends on your personal preferences and needs. If you are on a tight budget and just want a basic latex pillow for your bed, then Tontine is something that will surely be a good choice for you. If you are a hot sleeper looking for an affordable premium latex pillow, the Origin would be a great choice.
