When we first started developing this little pillow we wanted to create a product that is soft but supportive, breathable and machine washable. And at the same time we wanted the pillow to be safe and as chemical free as possible. It was not easy, but we are very proud that we managed to achieve exactly that.
The delicate cover is made 100% out of premium organic cotton, grown and woven right here in the USA. Nothing is imported. To make the cover resistant and keep any impurities out, we use a high thread-count and a special tight weave. This also makes the cover soft to the touch and eliminates the need for a pillowcase.
Light and soft, the filling is a proprietary cluster fiber. The filling is not 100% organic because it is man-made, but it is as chemical free as possible and unlike anything on the market. We go to great lengths to develop our poly cluster fiber 'in-house'. This means the filling is made entirely in the USA and more importantly, it gives us great control over every part of the manufacturing process. We develop our fiber very differently than the rest of the industry -both in terms of design and in terms of materials used in manufacturing it. We do not treat the filling with any chemicals whatsoever. Our fiber is Latex free, Phthalate free, Formaldehyde free, BPA free and Lead free. And we don’t use any flame retardants either.
But why didn't we choose something 100% organic for the filling? Well, we did a lot of tests with various organic and non-organic filling materials. We tested kapok, wool, cotton, hemp, buckwheat, down, foam and many others. Those filling materials were not comfortable, not good for a child's healthy development (neck and spine) due to the firmness and shape or they became useless after a few uses (lost shape, became lumpy, could not be machine washed -or cleaned in any way for some of them).
Our one of a kind cluster fiber filling, makes this pillow soft but long-lasting, with an average lifetime of 3 to 5 years. It will keep it's shape and it will not get lumpy, even after hundreds of wash/dry cycles!
With our Little One's Pillow we managed to create a product of unmatched craftsmanship. The supportive, premium polyester fiber, is covered in the finest organic cotton around, all handcrafted together with great attention to detail.
Washing Instructions: wash on cold, gentle cycle, and dry thoroughly on low.
