Hey OzB family!
Any one know of any discounts or planned specials coming up for TLC Pillows?
Have been waiting oh so patiently for a good sale to come by to test these pillows out <3
Was hoping there was a EOFY sale, but unfortunately no such luck.. :-D
I was recently looking at their pillows & all of them are discounted on their site. Is this the usual with further sales on top?
From what I have seen this year, the current discounted prices are the standard prices and have been like that for a while.
hmmm … shall we PM the rep?
Hi all - there will be a sale late August/early September. The exact details have not been sorted out yet but we are hoping to make it a good one, and any deals will be on top of the sale prices currently on the website.
Thanks so much Sp8472! Looking forward to the sale! <3

Awesome! Thanks!
Hi all, just got gifted a talalay latex pillow and was wondering if you need to wash it right when it is brand new and before first use?
Because from what I've read here https://www.tlclatexpillows.com.au/caring-for-your-pillow/
"One of the great benefits of latex is that it is antimicrobial, anti fungal and hypoallergenic. Dust mites, bed bugs and other nasties cannot live in it - so the actual pillow stays fresh and requires very little cleaning. It can be washed, but frequent washing will reduce its life expectancy. Gently sponge or hand wash in warm water (max 40oC) using a mild detergent. Usually it is just the pillow surface that needs to be sponged. Rinse well in cold water and gently squeeze out excess water before drying in warm air - not direct heat or sunlight. It is important to ensure the pillow is completely dry before further use. Do not dry clean or tumble dry."
So based on the bit in bold does this mean we can use it right out of the box or should we somehow wash or clean it first, though I'm not sure how to wash a latex pillow?
If anyone could share their experiences that would be great thanks.
Hi bounty hunter - thre is no need to wash the pillow before use as they are washed as part of the production process. Once they are 'cooked' each pillow is then thoroughly washed through a number of cycles. Pillows are gently dried in airing ovens for 6 - 8 hours.
The pillows are made from 100% latex and they are stored inside plastic bags to protect them, so the latex (rubber) smell can become trapped. If you air the pillow (out of direct sunlight) for a day or two this is as much as they will need before use. That said I use mine straight out of the bag - they are totally fine.
Thanks for confirming and have a nice weekend!
Oh one more question, how long will the TLC latex pillows store? For example if I bought a two pack and only open and use one, can the other one store for an indefinite period of time (e.g. a couple of years)? Or will the latex degrade over time (assuming I am storing it in a cool and dry place)?
The pillows will sore well for years, if out of direct sunlight. The latex will eventually degrade, as it is a ntural product. We have never actually tested it but I would expect you could put a pillow away for 5 years & it would be as good as new when you get it back out.
They should last 10 years if well looked after, and thats with use.
Interestingly the rep, @Sp8472 was last seen online yesterday
