Dust mites love comforters and pillows. If you need a reason to buy a new pillow, about 10% of the weight of a two-year-old pillow is actually dust mite droppings (excrement.) With one notable exception: dust mites do not like natural latex pillows and mattresses. This is because the holes in the latex serve as ventilation, keeping the humidity lower level than mites prefer.
Wool Wrapped 100% Natural Shredded Rubber Latex Pillow

Natural Rubber latex is resistant to mold, mildew, and bacteria, and dust mites will not live in a natural rubber environment.
100% Certified Organic Cotton Pillow

For those seeking a firmer and flatter pillow. Our cotton pillows are filled with pure, santized 100% certified organic cotton. This pillow comes in three weights: light, medium, and full. Keep in mind, cotton compresses about one half over time.
Eco-Wool Pillow

In general, wool offers a soft and springy fill, and tends to sleep cooler and compress less than cotton fill. Like our other wool products, they resist dust mites! The wool pillow also comes in three weights: light, medium and full. Wool pillows compress approximately one-third over time.
Wool is a safe, natural, mildrew resistant fiber that science cannot imitate for its breathability, versatility, practicality, and fire retardancy. Wool is nature's insulator, keeping one cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Natural wool can absorb one-third of it's weight in mosisture before feeling wet, yet water evaporates quickly from it due to the air channels between the fibers. Since humans produce about a pint of water vapor during an eight-hour sleep cycle, wool provides an excellent "wicking" action that keeps sleepers' skin dry instead of wet and clammy.
Wool Wrapped Organic Buckwheat-Hull Pillow

In this dual-chambered pillow, the outside chamber, filled with organic EcoWool cushions both the feel and sound associated with buckwheat pillows. The inner chamber in filled with organic buckwheat hulls. The pillow is made with a zipper so sleepers can remove material and customize each pillow to their personal preference.

Chlorine is recognized worldwide as a hazardous chemical and has been linked to cancer, lung disease and heart disease for years. People with pre-existing lung or heart disease may be particularly sensitive to the effects of chlorine.
Usually combined with other chemicals, chlorine is used to disinfect water, purify metals, bleach wood pulp, and modify wool fibers. Chlorine's attraction to, and corrosion of organic matter doesn't end at the bacteria in water. Chlorine also attacks your hair, skin, and lungs as they are organic as well. Chlorine can leave your hair dry and brittle and make your skin flaky and itchy. It can also trigger negative reactions in children, the elderly, and people with chlorine sensitivity
Studies have shown that for health reasons, it is best to remove chlorine from drinking water.
