Green Pillows?

babymomz88 | Aug 09, 2008 | 1 | Posted in Group Forum

My husband and I are ready to replace our bed pillows. We use basic
polyester-filled pillows (the cheapo $5-10 type ones) and tend to replace them about once a year (due to them loosing their fluffiness).

We find these pillows comfortable and planned on just replacing themwith the same things again this year. But then we started to realize that this is a totally ungreen thing to be doing though. There's a whole lot of pillows ending up in a landfill due to us!

Any suggestions on alternative replacements? Pillows that last a long time? Pillows that are better environmentally to manufacture? Or some other suggestion that I'm not thinking about?

Thanks for the help!

On the same search!

There are a lot of organic/natural options out there, many of which should be better for the world and last longer (though that'd be worth vetting first)--and have the added advantage of not leaving you sleeping on something with any nasty chemicals.

Check out http://www.daxstores.com/organic-bedding.html for lots of different options, including pillows made with wool, organic cotton, latex, kapok, or buckwheat. That online store usually has pretty good prices (relatively speaking) on such things--they have the most economical organic crib mattress that we could find for our little one.

I would probably want to try the pillows out in person, though, to make sure I like how they feel--depending where you're located, you might be able to find a local store that carries such things. Good luck! I'll be interested to read the other comments since we're on the same search.
