Many people are allergic to synthetic materials and will find it hard to tolerate them. If you have allergies, you should consider a natural stuffing for pillows.

Hemp

You may also want to choose a pillow that is made of hemp or organic hemp. When looking for a natural stuffing for pillows, you may be surprised to find that it is also available as an alternative to cotton.

Hemp is one of the most breathable materials and can be found in many pillows. This material is breathable and has therapeutic properties, similar to millet. It is also soft and pliable, making it a great choice for side sleepers and night sweate. Compared to cotton, hemp is easy to grow, resists mold and insect growth, and allows air to pass through.

In addition to being comfortable, hemp is also machine-washable. Despite being a natural material for pillows, it can be costly. As a result, you should consider a pillow that matches your budget and needs before buying it.

Kapok

Another natural stuffing for pillows is kapok fiber. Kapok is a fiber that is derived from the seed pods of the Ceiba pentandra tropical tree. It is the most popular alternative to down and polyester. However, it is more expensive than the other two. This material is highly breathable and is mold and mildew resistant. It is also free of allergens. It is soft and airy. A pillow filled with this material is softer and more luxurious than a regular pillow stuffed with down.

Kapok is highly flammable and oxygen absorbing, which may make it unsuitable for anyone with respiratory difficulties and for young children. If you do choose a kapok pillow, don’t smoke in bed and avoid using your kapok pillow near a campfire or other source of ignition.

Fireweed

Fireweed is another option for pillow filling. Its seeds and leaves are a delicacy for some, while the leaves and young shoots are used to make ropes. It is a popular choice among many indigenous peoples. Its crimped fibers make it a good choice for pillow stuffing. In addition to providing a springy feel to your pillow, it also provides insulation, which is a bonus for a cold winter.

Buckwheat

Buckwheat is a popular choice for natural pillows. It is also a great choice for allergy sufferers. It has a pleasant scent and is often found encased in a natural textile. A buckwheat hull pillow is also good for your body.

Organic Wool

Woolly sheep or camel. This filling, in addition to softness, flexibility, acoustics, also has a helpful effect. Lanolin, which is in animal hair, has a great effect on the human body. The heat is also the heat, which preserves the wool filling for a long time. These pillows are recommended for patients with arthrosis, cervical radiculitis, osteochondrosis.

Pillows made of wool lose their shape and shape quickly. Therefore, very often the filling is combined, bringing wool together with sintepon. These are mid-price pillows, they are cheaper than down-feather, but also their life is much less.

Bamboo or Soy filling

Bamboo or soy filling – the “know-how” of the 21st century. These are amazing in the ingredients they have that have protective, antibacterial properties. They are very soft, warm enough and do not cause allergies. Such pillows are referred to the middle price category.

 Silk

Another popular filler is natural silk filler. Fibers used for its production, which is obtained from the cocoons of silkworms. These pillows are soft and flexible, keeping their shape perfectly. Silk is moisture and steam tight, which does not flow down and keeps its properties for a long time.
