How scores are calculated
Materials (40%): How plastic-free the product is — raw materials, construction, and coatings.
Packaging (20%): Is the product packaged in plastic? Is it recyclable?
Transparency (20%): Does the brand disclose ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing?
Durability (20%): How long does it last? Longer-lasting products reduce plastic waste over time.
This is a rating of this specific product only — not the company. Other products from this brand may score differently.

We spend approximately one-third of our lives in bed. Conventional mattresses, pillows, and bedding can contain PFAS stain-resistant treatments, formaldehyde flame retardants, synthetic dyes, and off-gassing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Children are particularly vulnerable — they spend more time in bed and their bodies are still developing.
Why We Rated It This Way
MyPillow's shredded polyurethane foam fill has no organic certifications and no PFAS testing. Polyurethane foam can off-gas VOCs, and your face is in direct contact with your pillow for 8 hours nightly. Organic latex or wool pillows are significantly safer alternatives.
