This brand is a local brand in Thailand, and our company is a member of China Chamber of Commerce in Thailand. I was lucky enough to attend the press conference on the signing of the trade contract between siree and China hosted by the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and the Thai Rubber Farmers Association as a representative, and I felt good when I left.
Why is there such a big difference in online prices? I think there are several reasons.
1, the amount of natural latex affects the price. Generally, a latex pillow with 85% natural latex content is a good pillow, which may be used for many years. This kind of latex pillow is imported from China, and the price will not be lower than 300. Please be careful if it is too low. If the content of natural latex is below 50%, the price is very cheap, 100 yuan can be bought, but the elasticity and stiffness are very poor, which can't protect the neck at all, just like buying dozens of ordinary pillows.
Latex pillows are made of a small amount of natural latex and synthetic rubber (chemicals extracted from petroleum) because synthetic rubber is very cheap. Synthetic rubber is styrene-butadiene rubber. Styrene-butadiene rubber itself is non-toxic, but it has a pungent smell, and the raw material styrene for synthesizing styrene-butadiene rubber will remain. Styrene is a suspected carcinogen, which will produce anisole and formaldehyde after oxidation. I don't need to say more about this harm.
In addition, there are many merchants in Thailand who transport latex pillows made in China to Thailand for sale and import them into Thailand. There are not two such conscience merchants in China, and the interests drive the merchants to make them with low-cost synthetic rubber. This imitation made in Thailand has been investigated several times in Thailand.
It is best to buy a local brand of latex pillow in Thailand. Besides siree, the following is also good.
Comax (not made in China/all made in Thailand): There are almost no agents in Chinese mainland. One of the big Sanyuan brands in the Japanese market, the factory in China hardly knows the existence of this brand (in fact, this brand is not sold in Thailand's local homepro, but only sold exclusively on the Japanese Internet). The price is around 4000 baht, which is very expensive (I know the price online in Japan)! The overall design is very simple and simple.
Amber (not made in China/all made in Thailand): a brand made by Singapore agents in Bangkok, a rare brand, made by foaming technology in the early 1990s. The overall color of the pillow is yellow (highly oxidized). Although the appearance is not so good, the overall quality is passable.
Midori (not made in China/all made in Thailand): There is a small counter at home pro in Central Bangkok that sells this brand of latex pillow, which is a Japanese brand in Thailand. With deeptex and comax, it belongs to the Kansai market in Japan and is one of the most famous brands in the Japanese market.
Skytex (not made in China/made in Thailand): Although there are many advertisements recently, it can be said that the quality of this brand is good, at least sbr industrial glue is not used, and according to some feedback from friends, the latex content of this brand of latex pillow is still relatively high, but the price is too high, which is completely unreasonable. The price of genuine skytex is around 700 yuan.
Simple identification of latex pillow
The surface with high natural latex content is as shown in the figure below, with wrinkle texture.
The inferior latex pillow with low natural latex content looks very loose, as shown below.
touch control
Touching the surface of the pillow core with the back of your hand should not feel greasy or sticky, but a feeling of touching soft skin, which is very comfortable and natural.
smell
Bury your nose in the pillow and take a deep breath. You should only smell the faint smell of natural natural latex, which is neither unpleasant nor particularly sweet. If there is sweetness, strong milk smell, plastic smell or other peculiar smell, it can be judged that this is a fake pillow with synthetic latex added.
Natural latex with high content is excellent in elasticity, easy to pull and not easy to be scratched by fingers.
Low-content synthetic rubber pillow or natural latex will break when pulled lightly, and it is easy to cut with your fingers.
Well, I hope it helps everyone.
