High Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Conventional pillows are filled with polyester fiberfill or memory foam, both of which shed microplastics and off-gas chemicals directly near your face for 8 hours per night.

Why We Recommend This Product

Polyester-filled pillows shed microplastics directly near your face while you sleep. Memory foam pillows off-gas VOCs. Buckwheat hulls are a completely natural, adjustable alternative.
