The oldest image of the Virgin Mary in the United States―a petite wooden statue―accompanied Spanish Conquistadors and missionaries to the Kingdom of Nuevo M xico in 1625. Her existence has been tumultuous. She was rescued from a burning church, kidnapped and held for ransom, and had her wooden form mutilated and remade. This book conveys the essence of devotion given to the statue who is yearly celebrated at "La Fiesta de Santa Fe" and yearly carried in procession based on a promise made over 300 years ago. She is the Queen of New Mexico, enthroned in her own chapel at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has the wardrobe of a Spanish Queen with over 200 exquisite gowns and priceless crowns and jewelry. Her name is La Conquistadora, "Our Lady of the Conquest." Was she a conqueror of territories or a conqueror of hearts and healer of human weaknesses? This is her story. Sue Houser is a native of New Mexico and is interested in preserving the history and culture of the state. A retired social worker, she writes about the inspiration and passion behind the stories. This is her second historical, non-fiction book.

Hard to judge thickness with only dimensions to go by
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
Very nice quality, just what I hoped for. But it's just too thick for me. I'm thinking of using my electric knife to try to skim enough off to be usable. I've slept most of my life on latex pillows and have not enjoyed using other pillows.

Good pillow, but too high for my neck
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
I love the Talalay latex for the quality, and that there is no smell. However, it is too high for my neck. I wish the company would make it in a 3" version, instead of just 5.5". They do have a "slim" version, but it is not even the same kind of pillow. It measures 2.5" and the back side is completely flat, so you can not turn it in over for use. The company basically took this 5.5" version and cut it in half for the slim.

The Ultimate Natural Latex Pillow
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
I recently switched to the Talatex 100% Natural Premium Latex Pillow and it has transformed my sleep. Unlike synthetic memory foam, this Purefusion Talalay Latex is incredibly supportive yet soft, providing excellent pressure relief for both my neck and shoulders. I appreciate knowing there are no harsh chemicals in the core.  It retains its shape perfectly night after night and stays cool thanks to the breathable material. The quality is immediately apparent, especially with the removable Tencel cover, which is luxuriously smooth. It arrived in a beautiful package, truly making it the best gift for anyone seeking a healthier, more comfortable night's sleep. Highly recommended!

The Natural Way to Better Sleep.
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5"), Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
After trying out several latex over the years, the Talatex Talalay 100 stands out for its luxurious comfort, quality materials, and overall sleep experience. Made from 100% natural Talalay latex, it offers a perfect balance of softness and support. Comfort & Support: The Talalay latex feels incredibly buoyant yet plush. I found it especially beneficial for relieving neck pain. Temperature Regulation: One of the best aspects is its breathability. Latex naturally sleeps cooler than other foams. Eco-Friendliness: Another big plus is that it’s made from natural latex with no synthetic additives, making it a healthier and more environmentally friendly choice. It’s also hypoallergenic, which is great for allergy sufferers. Verdict: If you're looking for a premium latex sleep surface that delivers both comfort and longevity, the Talatex Talalay 100 is a solid investment. It’s not the cheapest option out there, but the quality and sleep experience justify the price.

Finally sleeping well again
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5"), Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
Got the standard soft and the height is just right - perfect mix of plush and supportive. My neck pain is basically gone. Love that it stays cool through the night thanks to the little vent holes, and the Tencel cover feels super soft. Holds its shape really well too, no flattening. Packaging felt like a gift. Worth every penny.
