How to Swap to Non-Toxic body pillows:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic body pillows:
What to know about body pillows
Body pillows spend hours pressed against your skin, face, and airways every night. That prolonged, close contact means the materials they're made of and how they're treated really matter.
- Many body pillows use synthetic fills and covers that may be treated with chemical flame retardants, water-resistant coatings, or anti-microbial finishes.
- Because you breathe near your pillow for hours at a time, off-gassing from foams or treated fabrics can add up over long-term use.
Check the body pillow you already have
Look at the tags and product listing for your current body pillow. Focus on what the fill and cover are made of, and whether any treatments or finishes are mentioned.
- Check the care tag or original packaging for terms like "memory foam," "polyester fill," "flame retardant," or "water-resistant" — these suggest added chemical treatments.
- If your pillow has a strong chemical smell even after airing out, that may indicate off-gassing from synthetic materials or finishes.
Use your current body pillow more safely
Replacing a body pillow may not be in the budget right away. A few simple steps can reduce what you're exposed to while you use what you have.
- Use a tightly woven, untreated cotton pillowcase or cover as a barrier between you and the pillow — wash it weekly in non-toxic detergent.
- When you first get a new pillow, unwrap it and let it air out in a well-ventilated room for at least 24–48 hours before sleeping with it.
Choose a cleaner body pillow
Look for body pillows made with natural, untreated materials and simple construction. Certifications can help verify that a pillow meets stricter material safety standards.
- Look for pillows filled with organic cotton, natural latex, or organic wool, with covers made from organic or untreated cotton — and check for certifications like GOTS, GOLS, or OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
