Do you like a pillow that you can scrunch up and tuck under an arm — or one that maintains a consistent feel night after night? Firm support or soft cushioning? Over stuffed or malleable? Try a couple different pillow styles out before you buy — actually climb on the bed and curl up in the position you sleep in at home.
Do you suffer from sniffles and coughing at night? A hypoallergenic latex pillow is 300% more resistant to dust-mites than other foams. Do you wake with neck pain? Provide the extra cervical support of a contour pillow — and sleep better.
Does stress stop you from drifting off? Memory foam pillows invite muscles to release stored tension and relax, so you can sink into blissful sleep. Maybe you find your bed hot at night? A wool-filled pillow wicks away moisture to keep your pillow dry and temperature regulated.
You spend a third of your life curled up with your pillow in bed. One third of the air you breathe is in contact with whatever that pillow sends out into the universe. Choosing a pillow with natural wool or latex fill ensures a fresh breathing room free of toxins and off-gassing.
Boric acid: What is it?
Boric acid is a naturally occurring component found in minerals, plants and even seawater. We eat it in nearly every kind of fruit we consume, use it on our skin and find it in many of the products we have in our homes. Humans have used boric acid for millennia in a wide variety of ways — from medicinal (it’s naturally antiseptic, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial), insecticidal, industrial and as a preservative. Most recently, it's been used in the bedding and mattress industry as a fire retardant.
