Your pillow!

According to the October issue of Glamour magazine, your pillow is an eco-festival for as many as 47 different types of fungi. Yuck. Limiting your exposure to germs is important, but protecting yourself isn’t a casting call for harsh chemicals.

What’s in your pillow?

Down pillows can double in size within their first year of use – and that weight gain is thanks to the fecal matter of dust mites and other bacteria hanging out there.

We believe what goes into your pillow is as important what you rest on it. Have a look at what goes into Natua pillows:

Latex

Latex, granulated or form, provides buoyant support without the pushing back. Instead of creating a cavity for your head, neck and shoulders, it offers fluid support.

• Naturally antimicrobial – 300% more resistant than other foams.
• Naturally hypoallergenic – Less dust mites equal less chance of an allergic reaction.
• Naturally breathable – Air and moisture is constantly recycled through the open cell structure.

Wool

Wool helps regulate your temperature by acting as a natural air conditioner, constantly moving air through the fibers. This movement keeps the air closest to your face fresh and clean.

• Naturally arid – Moisture is process through the core and out to the environment to keep your bedding dry.
• Naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial – Lack of moisture equals a hostile environment for bacteria and dust mites.
• Naturally breathable – Crimped fibers allow for air to flow through the pillow and out into the environment.

Cotton

Think of your favorite t-shirt or your child’s first blankey – bet they’re both made from cotton. Soft, breathable and a perfect complement to the inner core of your pillow. What’s more, cotton lasts (and looks better) longer than synthetic materials.

If your pillow is more than a year old or you wake up with a sore neck or shoulders regularly, your pillow may be to blame. Visit our healthy sleep center to find out why the bed for your head is as important as your mattress.
