Wool Pillows are Sustainable
Natural wool is a sustainable and eco-friendly material. It is renewable, biodegradable, and recyclable. The wool industry supports local communities, and it is important to choose wool products that are ethically-sourced. At PlushBeds, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality pillows, sourced from sustainable and cruelty-free practices.
Choosing the Right Wool Pillow
When it comes to choosing the right wool pillow, it all comes down to personal preference. At PlushBeds, we offer a range of pillows to suit every sleeper's needs. Our Handmade Natural Wool Pillow is perfect for those who prefer a medium firmness and a plush feel. The Wool Side Sleeper Pillow is perfect for side sleepers who need extra support for their neck and shoulders. The Contoured Side Sleeper Pillow is designed to alleviate pressure points and is great for those who use a CPAP machine. Our Adjustable Natural Wool Pillow is perfect for those who like to customize their pillow's loft and firmness. Stomach sleepers will appreciate this.
How to Care for Your Pillow
Caring for your pillow is easy. We recommend spot cleaning as needed with a mild detergent and warm water. Be sure to air dry your pillow completely before using it again. Avoid exposing your pillow to direct sunlight or high heat, as this can damage the wool fibers. We also recommend using a pillow protector to extend the life of your pillow.
PlushBeds Wool Pillows – So Many Reasons to Love Them
Wool is a magical pillow stuffing! One of the reasons we like wool so much here at PlushBeds is that it is multi-faceted. We use it in our Botanical Bliss for a fire barrier, because wool’s high nitrogen and water content causes it to require higher levels of oxygen to burn than the surrounding environment provides. What’s more, it is a natural temperature regulator. When sleeping on your pillow in the summertime, it will keep your upper body warm. Conversely, in the wintertime, it keeps you cool. Further, wool is great for wicking moisture away, and because of this, it minimizes the growth of irritating mold spores, and naturally inhibits dust mites. What else? It’s extremely comfortable, so why not use it in a pillow?! Our wool options include our Handmade Natural Wool Pillow, our Wool Side Sleeper Pillow, our Contoured Side Sleeper Pillow (especially good for CPAP wearers), and our Adjustable Natural Wool Pillow.
Wool Studies
Studies have been conducted on the effects of using different fibers with human subjects as they slept. Those who slept with wool-fill comforters actually had lower heart rates. A lower heart rate indicates a deep, relaxed state. While scientists may not know exactly why sleeping on wool brings the heart rate down (as opposed to it staying the same, or being elevated as when sleeping on other fiber types), it’s nice to know that sleeping with a natural material such as wool can bestow that benefit.
Add to it… Latex
Wool is light and springy, while latex is responsive and buoyant. Put the two together, and you get something amazing! Some of our pillows, such as the Wool & Latex Side Sleeper Pillow have a combination of wool and latex. The Wool & Latex Side Sleeper Pillow is ergonomically designed for side sleepers. It provides a space for you to tuck your shoulder into to alleviate pressure on your shoulder, while cradling your head and neck. The Wool & Latex Pillow is an adjustable pillow that you can adjust the loft and firmness of.
Sheering Practices and Quality
All of our wool filled pillows are ethically-sourced, and chemical- and cruelty-free. Shropshire wool has a unique down-like fiber, and is great for bedding because of its durability, outlasting other wool types. Its natural elasticity and memory helps it to spring back into shape time and again.
Wool-filled pillows are a great investment for anyone looking for a comfortable and sustainable pillow. At PlushBeds, we offer a range of pillows to suit every sleeper's needs. We believe that sleeping on natural materials is the best way to get a good night's sleep. So, why not try one of our pillows today and experience the magic of wool for yourself!
Frequently-Asked Questions About Wool Pillows
-
Are wool pillows good for you?
Absolutely. Wool pillows offer temperature regulation, moisture-wicking, and allergen resistance, creating a healthier and more comfortable sleep environment. They help reduce overheating and skin irritation, ideally supporting deeper, more restorative sleep.
-
Is a wool pillow better than a feather pillow?
For many people, yes—especially those with allergies or who prioritize eco-friendliness. Wool is naturally hypoallergenic and chemical-free, unlike feathers, which can harbor allergens and often require harsh cleaning. Wool’s breathability also helps sleepers stay cooler.
-
Can wool pillows cause allergies?
Generally, no. PlushBeds' wool pillows are made from pure virgin wool and avoid chemical treatments that could trigger sensitivities. Wool naturally resists dust mites and mold, and is typically well-tolerated even by allergy sufferers.
-
Are wool pillows hypoallergenic?
Yes. They are inherently hypoallergenic because wool fibers repel common irritants like dust mites, mold, and bacteria. The pillows are also crafted without synthetic additives or harsh chemicals.
-
How often should you wash wool pillows?
PlushBeds recommends spot cleaning with mild detergent and air-drying. Machine washing is discouraged for wool pillows to preserve their integrity. Instead, wash pillowcases weekly, use pillow protectors, and consider sun-drying the pillow occasionally for refreshment.
-
Do wool pillows go flat?
No—wool pillows maintain their loft well. Wool’s natural resilience and elasticity help pillows retain shape, especially those like the Adjustable Wool Pillow with Shropshire wool, which can be customized for loft and firmness.
-
Do dust mites live in wool?
Rarely. Wool’s structure and lanolin content make it difficult for dust mites to thrive. PlushBeds emphasizes wool pillows’ resistance to dust mites, molds, and bacterial growth.
-
Can you adjust the firmness of a wool pillow?
Yes! The Adjustable Wool Pillow lets you remove tufts of wool to tailor firmness and loft to your preference. It’s perfect for sleepers who want a personalized feel.
-
What is the difference between wool and down pillows?
Wool pillows: Naturally hypoallergenic, breathable, eco-friendly, and temperature-regulating.
Down pillows: Plush and lightweight but often contain allergens and may require chemical treatments.
Wool provides similar comfort with added health benefits and sustainability.
-
What is a wool pillow made of?
PlushBeds' pillows are crafted from pure virgin wool, ethically sourced and encased in organic or OEKO-TEX certified cotton covers. No toxins, chemicals, or harsh treatments are used in the process.
-
Are wool pillows good for hot sleepers?
Yes. Wool naturally wicks moisture and balances temperature—keeping sleepers cool when it’s warm and warm when it’s cool, making it excellent for all seasons.
