We received a pair of Origin Superior Coolmax Latex Pillow at the right time, just as my mum was complaining about her chronic neck pain from sleeping on her existing cotton pillow.
Designed and constructed in Germany, there are many rave reviews about this pillow’s wonderful support. Hence, we were happy to take this opportunity to try it out.
Origin Superior Coolmax Latex Pillow
Origin Superior Coolmax Latex Pillow is made from natural latex and infused with cooling gel, highly suitable for those of us who prefer to sleep without air conditioning on Singapore’s hot and humid nights.
Hygiene
While I enjoy how the contours of the memory foam pillow supports my neck, I cannot wash it at all. So the possibility of having more dirt accumulated on my pillow is higher.
On the other hand, latex pillows have natural hypoallergenic properties, which means lesser dust, bacteria or mould hiding in the cushion. Remember, rubber is dense and waterproof. Hence, latex pillow also tends to be more durable.
Hence, if you are a person with allergies such as sinus, asthma or sensitive skin, you may want to give the natural latex pillow a try.
A Removable Tencel™ Pillow Cover
Origin Superior Coolmax Latex Pillow also comes with a removable and machine-washable Tencel™ pillow cover.
You may already know that Tencel™ fabrics are known for their breathability and long-lasting softness. Moreover, they are produced from sustainably sourced wood via an environmentally responsible process.
Cooling Design
You may think that sleeping on a latex pillow will feel hot and uncomfortable due to its rubber properties. But no, Origin’s latex pillow is infused with a cooling-gel formula. Moreover, the small holes on the pillow’s surface improve air circulation below your head while you sleep.
Firm and Bouncy Pillow
The dimension for the Origin Superior Coolmax Latex Pillow is 65cm x 40cm x 13cm. We tested the pillow over a week and agreed that the pillow is firm and bouncy.
Before buying a pillow, consider your body structures and sleep preferences because these factors will greatly affect your sleep quality.
A person who favours sleeping on his tummy is not going to be happy with a high and firm pillow as he may find himself waking up with back and neck tension. On the other hand, a side-sleeper may find support to his shoulder and neck while using such a pillow.
As a habitual side-sleeper and a person with broad shoulders, I strain my neck and shoulders when I use a low and soft pillow.
Ensure that your spine remains in a neutral position when you lie your head on the pillow so that your joints and muscles can achieve an optimal resting state.

Starke Digital Locks’ Starke Seamless™ Désignerin
By the way, have you thought about installing digital locks?
Instead of the traditional knob lock, keypad lock and deadbolt locks that require you to carry your sets of keys around, how about exploring a digital lock? You only need your mobile phone, your thumbprint, access cards, or passcode.
More and more of my neighbours are installing digital locks. However, I wonder whether the benefits of a digital lock far supersede a lock with a physical key.
I was recently introduced to Starke’s award-winning Seamless™ Désignerin. Let me share the digital lock’s feature briefly here.
The Essential Feature – Security
Honestly, what has gotten me interested in the German-designed Starke digital locks at first is not the ability to open my house door without keys. Instead, the auto secure and break-in alarm aroused my interest in digital locks.
Since the digital lock is accessible via a mobile app, I will get notified when someone is fiddling with my door lock. In addition, the intrusion alarm will also get activated immediately when my door security is compromised. Not all competitor digital locks have this type of real-time status update.
I also like Starke’s ability to generate one-time passcode for visitors and the user entry log available via the mobile phone’s app.
Maintenance and Battery
The digital lock will not rust easily since it is coated in anti-rust lacquer, a must-have feature in Singapore’s hot and humid climate. Furthermore, after the lock’s 1-year battery life, replacing the old batts with two new AA batteries is super easy in just 30 seconds.
There is also a power outlet for emergency power supply via USB. So you won’t be locked out of your home due to power failure!
Note that there is also a 2-year onsite warranty that comes along with the purchase.
A Variety of Access Options
I won’t complain about having so many ways to open my house door.
My mum may still prefer to use the traditional keys, while I may choose to give my kids access to the door via their thumbprints. Suppose my parents forget to bring along my house keys while visiting. In that case, I can also remotely unlock the door even though I am not physically at home.
For myself, I probably like the pin code better. I can choose any pin code between 3 to 19 digits.
Supposedly Smooth Access
I haven’t experienced the digital lock before. It is voice-guided, and the website claims that the keypad is highly sensitive. You can enter your home in less than 1 second!
Users can install this universal lock on all HDB, condominium and private estate doors.
