Wool Pillows

Wool Pillows are Sustainable

Natural wool is a sustainable and eco-friendly material. It is renewable, biodegradable, and recyclable. The wool industry supports local communities, and it is important to choose wool products that are ethically-sourced. At PlushBeds, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality pillows, sourced from sustainable and cruelty-free practices.

Choosing the Right Wool Pillow

When it comes to choosing the right wool pillow, it all comes down to personal preference. At PlushBeds, we offer a range of pillows to suit every sleeper's needs. Our Handmade Natural Wool Pillow is perfect for those who prefer a medium firmness and a plush feel. The Wool Side Sleeper Pillow is perfect for side sleepers who need extra support for their neck and shoulders. The Contoured Side Sleeper Pillow is designed to alleviate pressure points and is great for those who use a CPAP machine. Our Adjustable Natural Wool Pillow is perfect for those who like to customize their pillow's loft and firmness. Stomach sleepers will appreciate this.

How to Care for Your Pillow

Caring for your pillow is easy. We recommend spot cleaning as needed with a mild detergent and warm water. Be sure to air dry your pillow completely before using it again. Avoid exposing your pillow to direct sunlight or high heat, as this can damage the wool fibers. We also recommend using a pillow protector to extend the life of your pillow.

PlushBeds Wool Pillows – So Many Reasons to Love Them

Wool is a magical pillow stuffing! One of the reasons we like wool so much here at PlushBeds is that it is multi-faceted. We use it in our Botanical Bliss for a fire barrier, because wool’s high nitrogen and water content causes it to require higher levels of oxygen to burn than the surrounding environment provides. What’s more, it is a natural temperature regulator. When sleeping on your pillow in the summertime, it will keep your upper body warm. Conversely, in the wintertime, it keeps you cool. Further, wool is great for wicking moisture away, and because of this, it minimizes the growth of irritating mold spores, and naturally inhibits dust mites. What else? It’s extremely comfortable, so why not use it in a pillow?! Our wool options include our Handmade Natural Wool Pillow, our Wool Side Sleeper Pillow, our Contoured Side Sleeper Pillow (especially good for CPAP wearers), and our Adjustable Natural Wool Pillow.

Wool Studies

Studies have been conducted on the effects of using different fibers with human subjects as they slept. Those who slept with wool-fill comforters actually had lower heart rates. A lower heart rate indicates a deep, relaxed state. While scientists may not know exactly why sleeping on wool brings the heart rate down (as opposed to it staying the same, or being elevated as when sleeping on other fiber types), it’s nice to know that sleeping with a natural material such as wool can bestow that benefit.

Add to it… Latex

Wool is light and springy, while latex is responsive and buoyant. Put the two together, and you get something amazing! Some of our pillows, such as the Wool & Latex Side Sleeper Pillow have a combination of wool and latex. The Wool & Latex Side Sleeper Pillow is ergonomically designed for side sleepers. It provides a space for you to tuck your shoulder into to alleviate pressure on your shoulder, while cradling your head and neck. The Wool & Latex Pillow is an adjustable pillow that you can adjust the loft and firmness of.

Sheering Practices and Quality

All of our wool filled pillows are ethically-sourced, and chemical- and cruelty-free. Shropshire wool has a unique down-like fiber, and is great for bedding because of its durability, outlasting other wool types. Its natural elasticity and memory helps it to spring back into shape time and again.

Wool-filled pillows are a great investment for anyone looking for a comfortable and sustainable pillow. At PlushBeds, we offer a range of pillows to suit every sleeper's needs. We believe that sleeping on natural materials is the best way to get a good night's sleep. So, why not try one of our pillows today and experience the magic of wool for yourself!
