Rest Easy on Wheat Dreamz’ Buckwheat Pillow

Wheat Dreamz Buckwheat Pillow

We all look forward to that moment when our head hits the pillow, hopefully for 8 hours of blissful slumber. But depending on the kind of pillow you’re using, that rest might not be so rejuvenating. Traditional pillows are often filled with chemical-ridden synthetic fibers and covered with conventionally-grown cotton. While cotton may be ‘the fabric of our lives,’ much of it is heavily sprayed with pesticides and insecticides – over half of which are known carcinogens. These chemicals are so toxic that fields become barren after years of this treatment.

To top it off, that cotton is often treated with dangerous dyes and finished with formaldehyde. So not only does the choice to buy non-organic bedding contribute to the depletion of our natural resources, but it also exposes us to unsafe chemicals for many hours a day, every day. The Wheat Dreamz Organic Buckwheat Pillow, however, is filled with organically grown buckwheat hulls, which means your pillow has never been exposed to questionable pesticides or herbicides.

Mattresses made of natural fibers

Daily Greenz #36

Is your mattress giving you guilt-induced nightmares? White Lotus offers natural and organic mattresses that can be custom made in any dimension.

The cotton they use to make their standard mattresses is known as "green" cotton, which means that once it is harvested from the bolls it is unprocessed- no bleaches, dyes or fungicides.

White Lotus also sells its high quality ingredients so you can make your own bedding.

And if that weren’t enough, the company also makes bedroom, dining and office furniture, duvets and pillows. Visit whitelotus.net for more info.
