Talk to me about natural pillows

[treehugginhippie]

I would like to replace our pillows with natural pillows. I need ones that are dust mite repellant. I've seen ones filled with wool, natural latex and millet or buckwheat husks. I think I'm leaning towards the millet or buckwheat husk ones but open to suggestions. Has anyone used any of these? Do you like them? Are they comfortable? What would you recommend? Where do you buy them?

TIA

Check out www.ecobaby.com! They carry pure grown wool, natural shredded rubber, or natural rubber pillows. All are chemical-free. We got our DD a child's natural rubber pillow, it's machine washable and dryable...also dust mites don't like rubber... We are in the process of purchasing a matress, I wish they weren't so expensive... The wool pillow and the rubber pillow are both $39.99

We have natural rubber pillows and love them! Some pros: they last forever, never get lumpy spots and keep their shape. We got ours from lifekind.

P.S. OUr natural rubber mattress is arriving Tuesday - can't wait! It was pricey, but has a 20 year life.

I just ordered a wool pillow from eBay- I'll be sure to give a review when I receive it!

I like Ingeo! It's made from corn, I believe.

I have massive allergies and am allergic. An asthma specialist recommended it. It's not organic, but it's not chemical.

Where did you order your mattress from? I'm going to order some for our family. I got a catalog from Lifekind, it seems like a good company?

Is your pillow shredded or solid latex?
