Are you one of those people who have a passion for the environment? If so the eco pillow may be a way that you can accomplish both of your goals.  Eco-pillows are environmentally safe and the fillings are made of natural fibers.

Traditional pillows on the other hand contain harmful chemicals that are petroleum based.  These synthetic chemicals emit violate organic compounds into your bedroom which is harmful to your health.

Traditional pillows are also known to accumulate dust mites.  These dust mites live in your pillow eating your hair and dead skin.  Dust mites are leading causes of allergies and asthma.

It is a much wiser choice to avoid synthetic fibers altogether and instead choose a natural, healthy and green-friendly alternative.  Beware of pillows that have both synthetic and natural fiber blends, as the natural fibers are often manufactured and process the same as the synthetic material.

A horsehair pillow is made with natural fibers such as cotton, wool and latex.  Natural fibers are ideal because they retain their springiness, are breathable which allows the air and moisture to freely circulate around your head.

Kapok is an eco friendly pillow that is blended with natural fibers such as linen and cotton.  The material is harvested from the Kapok tree and is excellent for allergy sufferers because it’s hypoallergenic.  The Kapok fiber is very similar to that of down without all the cruelty to fowl.

Eco pillows filled with natural latex filling is a good substitute for polyurethane pillows because it nestles your body well and maintains the shape to support your neck and head.  Natural latex is harvested for rubber trees and in very abundant supply.

Going green is a lifestyle change and it will not happen overnight.  It starts with making small changes to your bedding such as your pillows and then it can escalate to building solar panels or windmills for your home.
