Pillows

Why a pillow made from natural materials helps you sleep better

A good pillow is much more than just something to sleep on. It can make a significant contribution to restful sleep, a relaxed neck and a fresh start to the day. When looking for the best pillow for you, you should consider not only the shape and firmness, but also the material. A pillow made from natural, renewable raw materials is not only healthy, but also sustainable and free from harmful substances. 

Our shop offers a wide range of organic pillows, which are socially inclusive and fairly produced in Germany. Whether you are looking for the right pillow for you or wondering which pillow is best, you are sure to find what you are looking for here.

Which pillow size is best for me?

The size of your pillow has a big impact on your sleeping comfort. The standard pillow size is 80x80 cm, but many people prefer smaller pillows such as 40x80 cm or 40x60 cm, as they provide more targeted support for the neck. Side sleepers in particular swear by the 40x80 pillow, as it has less volume and promotes a more ergonomic sleeping position. A small 40x40 pillow is ideal for children or as a travel pillow, while XXL pillows such as the 80x80 cm offer more comfort for people who move around a lot in their sleep.

This overview can help you choose the right pillow size for you:

An orthopaedic pillow with natural filling – is that possible?

Of course it is! An orthopaedic pillow does not have to be made of foam. Our ergonomic pillows combine natural ergonomics with high-quality organic fillings. Particularly popular: the 40x80 pillow, which relieves pressure on the neck and is suitable for side, back and stomach sleepers. Our orthopaedic sleeping pillows offer you natural support – without any synthetic materials.

If you are looking for a pillow for neck pain

Neck pain is a widespread problem that is often caused by the wrong pillow. A good pillow for neck pain effectively supports your cervical spine and relieves the muscles so that the neck area can relax. Side sleepers in particular will find the right pillow for neck problems with us.
Our tip: Make sure you choose the right height and a pillow with natural filling that adapts to your body. This will help you find the best pillow for neck pain.

What a good pillow made from natural fibres promises

A good pillow made from natural fibres not only offers you comfort, but also a healthy sleeping environment. Our pillows are made from 100% natural materials such as kapok, virgin wool, millet or spelt – all from controlled organic production or wild growth (kapok). Our health pillows are particularly breathable, skin-friendly and free from harmful substances. If you are wondering which pillow is really healthy, you will find the answer here.

Which pillows are suitable for allergy sufferers

If you react to allergens such as pollen, dust or house dust mites, a pillow for allergy sufferers is ideal. We particularly recommend our kapok pillow as suitable for allergy sufferers. Kapok fibre is mite-resistant, moisture-regulating and particularly breathable. If you do not react to animal hair, we can also recommend our pillow with virgin wool filling.

A cooling pillow if you tend to sweat at night

Do you often wake up sweaty at night? Then a cooling pillow might be helpful for you. A pillow with a cooling function is breathable and moisture-regulating. Natural fillings made of kapok or virgin wool prevent heat build-up and regulate temperature. A pillow that combats sweating not only has a cooling effect but also contributes to a healthy sleeping environment.

Which pillow filling is best?

The choice of pillow filling has a huge impact on your sleeping comfort. But which filling is best for pillows? That really depends on your personal needs.
To help you decide, here is a comparison of the different natural fillings used in our pillows:

A millet pillow is soft and gentle

Thanks to the distinctive flowability of millet husks, the millet pillow adapts wonderfully to the shape of your body. At the same time, it feels pleasantly soft and is ‘very quiet’ compared to spelt husks. Many users report in their millet pillow reviews that they sleep more peacefully and have fewer neck problems. 

If you are looking for a natural pillow that is soft and quiet, yet provides excellent support, then you should buy a millet pillow.

Spelt pillow, the classic among natural pillows

The filling of the spelt pillow is slightly firmer than millet. This means it retains its shape and provides even better support. The slightly coarser structure of the spelt husks gently massages the shoulder and neck area and promotes blood circulation. 

If you like a slightly more rustic feel, appreciate excellent support and even find the natural rustling sound of your pillow relaxing, then you can buy a spelt pillow in good conscience.

A wool pillow if you like it warm and cosy

Virgin wool is truly versatile: it regulates heat and moisture, is antibacterial and self-cleaning. Our wool filled pillows made from pure sheep's wool are particularly breathable. The slightly felted wool balls keep you warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather, and can be easily shaken out. 

If you appreciate the wonderful qualities of sheep's wool and don't mind the natural smell of a pure wool pillow, then a pure wool pillow is the right choice for you.

Kapok pillows: The number one choice for allergy sufferers

A Kapok pillow is ultra-light, fluffy and ideal for allergy sufferers. Kapok fibre comes from the kapok tree, which grows wild, and is also known as ‘plant down’. Kapok has been used for thousands of years to make pillows and mattresses of all shapes and sizes.
A kapok fiber pillow is particularly breathable, moisture-regulating, cooling and mite-resistant. 

If you prefer a very light, fluffy, rather cooling and hygienic pillow, then we can recommend our kapok pillow stuffing.

A Swiss stone pine pillow brings aromatherapy into the bedroom

The essential oil of Swiss stone pine is known for its calming scent and relaxing effect. Our Swiss pine pillow combine Swiss stone pine shavings with millet or virgin wool for a particularly natural sleeping experience. 

There is no scientifically proven positive effect of Swiss stone pine wood on health. If you would like to find out more about this topic, please visit this website: Swiss stone pine oil – application and effects
