Nanas Pillows

Organic pillows are just as important as an organic mattress. If you are concerned about exposure to toxic chemicals, then organic bedding is a non-negotiable. It’s a common fact that ordinary mattresses and pillows, are filled with synthetic chemicals. Long after the mattresses have been manufactured and sold, these chemicals are released into the environment, breathed in while you sleep.

In a mattress store, or showroom have you ever noticed that new mattress smell? This smell of cleanliness is actually chemical fumes. Synthetic materials such as polyurethane, polyester, and vinyl are routinely sprayed with chemical fire retardants before the mattress enter the showroom. It is true that we must protect ourselves from the risk of fire, but these chemicals aggravate allergies and have been known to trigger asthma attacks.

Organic pillows and mattresses contain no harmful chemicals. To be labeled organic, their manufacturers must guarantee their product is chemical free, as well as abide by strict state and federal regulations. Organic bedding must be made from non-synthetic materials, their labels must state that all materials have been organically grown and never been exposed to synthetic chemicals during any part of the manufacturing procedure.

Feathers for organic goose down pillows come from geese fed a diet of pesticide-free feed. These geese also have been raised on chemical-free land. The pillow casing must be made from chemical-free organic cotton, linen, or wool. In the finishing process, no chemical fire retardants or any other contaminant may be sprayed on the pillows. Do not worry about exposing yourself to the threat of fire. Organic wool is naturally fire resistant, making it an excellent alternative to chemical retardants.
