Types of Non-Toxic Pillows For Your RV

Natural Latex Foam

Made from the sap of a rubber tree, these pillows are natural and non-toxic. The material extracted from the bark of a rubber tree is renewable offering an eco-friendly pillow and makes the pillow durable. The pillows are highly resistant to dust mite hence very healthy for human usage. However, natural latex can have a slightly rubbery odor and they are quite expensive as compared to their counterparts. 

Buckwheat Hulls Pillows

The goodness with this type of pillow is that it is highly breathable with no toxin. They are designed in a manner to conform perfectly with the shape you the neck and the head. Made from hulls, the pillows are very eco-friendly and have a long life span. If you want to adjust the size of the pillow, simply you add or remove the hull from the casing.

One character that off puts this type of pillow is the crunching noise made when it is moved. Since the filling may carry loads of hull, it makes the pillow heavy inconveniencing the user.

Organic Cotton Pillows

Organic cotton pillows are very environment-friendly. They are made from cotton grown organically without the use of pesticides. The pillows are so soft, odorless making your sleep in your RV comfortable. In a case when the cotton pillow catches dirt, you can easily wash them.

Just a disadvantage of using the cotton pillow is that it may catch dust mite since they love to live in cotton. They are also a bit expensive as compared to their counterparts.

Feather And Down Pillows

These are pillows made from the fluffy bottom of a bird’s feather. They are pure non-toxic therefore healthy and suitable to lay on. Sometimes the pillow may be stuffed with the whole feather or the down part or a combination. They are very affordable and readily available in the market. Made from natural feathers, they are soft and last longer.

However, pillows made from these feathers have a tendency to flatten quickly. Whenever the casing gets torn, the quills can poke out making you uncomfortable. It is somehow tricky to wash them when they get dirty.

Kapok Pillows

A silky fiber extracted from the Ceiba tree which resembles cotton is used to make these pillows. This material is eight times lighter than the actual cotton. The resultant product is usually very soft textured and so light. This will definitely make your sleep so peaceful. Made from a natural material, the pillow is non-toxic and eco-friendly.

Millet Pillow

This pillow is quite similar to that made from buckwheat. The only exception is in the size of the millet hull which is smaller and circular. The material is less noisy and softer as compared to that of buckwheat. The pillow is eco-friendly, breathable and its size is adjustable by either adding or removing the millet hull.

Pure Wool Pillow

Pure wool inhibits dust mites. You can, therefore, rest assured that a pure wool pillow is very healthy. My favorite aspect of a wool pillow is its ability to regulate temperature while you lay your head and neck on it. The pillow is also highly breathable, so whether you chose to sleep on your back or your belly you can still breathe healthy air. Wool is a fire-resistant material. This makes your pillow safe in instances of a fire breakout.
