Pillows are pressed against your face all night, every night, making them one of the most impactful pieces of bedding in terms of chemical exposure. Conventional pillows are often made with polyurethane foam, synthetic fills, and chemical flame retardants that off-gas directly into your breathing zone and against your skin while you sleep.
Switching to pillows made with organic cotton, natural latex, or organic wool means breathing cleaner air and an overall healthier sleep environment.
