Organic Pillows

Down pillows might be fluffy and soft, but they make great homes for dust mites! And if you're one of the millions of people of people who suffer from allergies, you'll want to stay away from both down and synthetic materials. Your best option is to go natural.

Take your pick from our variety of organic pillow stuffings. We have wool filled pillows, cotton filled pillows, kapok filled pillows, rubber filled pillows and buckwheat hull filled pillows in an array of sizes and shapes.

If you're having trouble deciding which type of pillow you want, keep reading and then browse our pillow section for still more information.

Soft wool, the ideal natural fill for pillows, maintains its springy resilience night after night, providing a super comfortable and healthy microclimate for the noggin. Absorbing the moisture that the head produces when we sleep (sorry to be the ones to tell you that, if you didn't know it), our wool filled pillows come in light, medium and heavy fill. You also have a choice of Eco Wool or certified organic O-wool for most of our pillows. And if you didn't have enough decisions to make, one additional option is the Woolie "Down" pillow, which is great if you like the benefits of wool but want something more malleable like down.

Cotton pillows are a great alternative for people with wool allergies, though few people are truly allergic to wool itself. Rather, they react to the processing of wool. Rest assured that our wool goes through a very gentle processing without the use of any chemicals. For more information about allergies, visit our FAQ section. Our 100% organic cotton pillows pillows are a bit firmer than wool and compress a bit more.

100% natural kapok filled pillows are yet another organic, hypoallergenic alternative to down. Harvested from seed pods of the java kapok or ceiba tree, kapok fiber is 8 times lighter than cotton and has a down-like quality without the allergic discomforts that feathers may cause.

Buckwheat hull pillows are recommended by chiropractors as they provide cervical support and proper head and neck alignment. The hulls can be moved around to make your pillow the shape you want it. These pillows are thermodynamic and don't conduct heat, keeping you comfy throughout the night.

Dust mite and mildew resistant, natural shredded rubber pillows are also a nice option that many people like. Like the buckwheat hull filled pillows, the "guts" of these can be easily manipulated for comfort.

In addition to standard, queen, king, child size and body pillows, we also have boudoir, throw and square Euro pillows, which add a finishing touch to your bedroom setting, whether it be on the bed, chair or sofa.
