Eco gifts

It is time to be thinking about gift giving. We have something that just about everyone needs but maybe most people do not think about. It is relatively inexpensive, very useful, it is something that gets used every day, and can make a big difference in your special person's busy lifestyle. And it is organic, sustainable and quite beautiful. How about an organic sleeping pillow? Think about your pillow: How old is that thing? How many months or years have you drooled, sweated and coughed in it? We have different fills, lofts and sizes to choose from. Organic pillows range from $70 - $180 depending on the fill and size. Here are some of the pillow that we carry.
PILLOWS

• 100% Certified Organic Cotton Pillow
For those seeking a firmer, flatter pillow, our cotton pillows are filled with pure, sanitized 100% certified organic cotton. As with our wool pillow, they are available in 3 weights: light, medium, and full (Please note: cotton pillows compress about one-half over time.)

• 100% Natural Rubber Pillows
Our molded and contour pillows (shown at right) are sold with double covers (see detail). The inner cover is a certified organic cotton mesh fabric that is designed to ensure that the pillow keeps its shape and integrity for many years. The second removable envelope case is made from our certified organic cotton mattress cover fabric that is hand washable.
• The Molded is recommended for back and side sleepers.
• The Contour is ideal for back or stomach sleepers.

• Eco-Wool Pillow
In general, wool offers a soft and springy fill, and tends to “sleep cooler” and compact less than cotton fill. Like our other wool products, they resist dust mites.
Available in 3 weights: light, medium, and full. (Please note: wool pillows compress approximately one-third over time.)

• Wool-Wrapped 100% Natural Shredded Rubber Pillow
This dual-chambered pillow is a best seller! It is made with a center chamber of 100% natural shredded rubber latex surrounded by an outer chamber filled with Eco-Wool™. This pillow is made with a zipper, so sleepers can remove material and customize each pillow to their personal preference.

• Wool-Wrapped Organic Buckwheat-Hull Pillow
In this dual-chambered pillow, the outside chamber filled with organic Eco-Wool™ cushions both the feel and the “sounds” associated with buckwheat pillows. The inner chamber is filled with organic buckwheat hulls. This pillow is made with a zipper, so sleepers can remove material and customize each pillow to their personal preference.
