Organic Cotton/PLA Pillow
Naturepedic offers a unique alternative to down and foam by using PLA (a plant-based material derived from non-GMO sugarcane). It provides a plush, resilient feel without the off-gassing of petroleum-based synthetics or the allergy triggers of feathers.
Quality & Materials
Fill is 100% GOTS-approved PLA fiber from non-GMO sugarcane. Outer fabric is 300-thread count GOTS-certified organic cotton.
Evidence & Testing
Certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE. The PLA fiber is tested to ensure no pesticide residues or harmful chemicals are present.
Brand Transparency
Naturepedic is a leader in transparency, often advocating for stricter labeling laws in the bedding industry.
Value Assessment
A high-quality, long-lasting organic option for those who find latex too bouncy and memory foam too firm.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'down alternative' pillows use polyester (plastic) batting. Naturepedic is one of the few brands successfully using plant-derived PLA that is GOTS-approved for use in organic products.
