Bean Products Kapok 20" x 26" Standard Pillow - Breathable, Eco-Friendly and Durable Organic Cotton Fabric Bed Pillow - Soft and Supportive Pillow for Sleeping, Made in The USA

Y’all I wish I could give these glorious magic puffs 100 stars. These are HANDS DOWN the best pillows I’ve ever slept on. I’ve tried every manner of tempurpedic, memory foam, down, etc. etc. pillow recommended by chiropractors and adverts. I will never use another pillow, again. After only one night of sleeping on them, both my partner and I are no longer experiencing neck stiffness or pain. We’re avid readers, typers, have a regular yoga practice and stretching practice and still often have stiff necks. These pillows hold their shape, but aren’t stiff and hard. They feel like sleeping on ethereal clouds, commuting long distances on dragons covered in springer spaniel fur, inhabiting a jar of marshmallow fluff…you get the idea. They’re perfect for side and back sleeping.

Oh heavens: this pillow is amazing! I grappled back and forth about a chemical, cruelty, and allergy free pillow for months. I became the victim of too much info in the media, finding out that so many bedding products, including pillows, sheets, and mattress pads - not just mattresses - are chemical laden. You can't change the world, but you sleep 8 hours a night, and you BREATHE in all that junk....no thank you. So the options of buckwheat, water, and kapok pillows became a new world of considerations for me, none of which were available for me to try out "in person" at a store.I read that buckwheat could be "loud" and have a "bean bag" feel to it, and could be hard/uncomfortable. I knew that wasn't for me. I'd slept on down for years (which not only was ethically not acceptable to me anymore, but had me waking up with a runny nose and sneezing each night), so the texture of a water pillow wasn't appealing for me either.Then, I happened upon this pillow. Organic in and out, and versatile since you can add too or take out as much kapok as you want to your liking. I figured it was a reasonable gamble for 50 bucks.I was dubious since the pillow felt awfully firm out of the box. But then I slept on it...it's amazing how much kapok "gives" and yet bounces right back! I found it to be odorless right out of the gate. And no more allergies!I was a lucky gal to have bought the last one Bean Products had in stock for the time. Bean: please stock more!! My husband wants one just like this too....and he is PICKY!! :)

For a very long time I couldn’t find a comfortable pillow. I sleep on a stuffed animal toy since it’s the only thing that not hurt my neck the next morning. I have tried curved pillows, down and shredded memory foam and lavender filled pillows, buckwheat…until I bought this one.I couldn’t believe I didn’t try it sooner! It’s the most comfortable pillow I have ever had. Thankfully it has small size so I can travel with it-I can’t live without it already.

It works ok, the pillow deflates substantially with time. One thing I would have preferred is a separate cover for the pillow. I pulled out the kapok from the pillow and it I was a giant mess and seems to make a lot of dust. I will go with cotton, or wool next time.

I loved this pillow when I first got it but I wanted to wait to write a review to see how it did after a period of time. Unfortunately not well. After about a month and a half it has flattened so much that I can barely even sleep on it anymore. They should send an extra bag of filling for when it inevitably deflates like a balloon. So this was a waste of a good chunk of money. I would not buy again.

I am very sensitive to off gassing so I need a pillow made of natural materials. This pillow has worked well for me. It did have a very faint odor that was natural at the beginning.I’ve been sleeping on it for the last few months. The kapok is very quiet to sleep on. I like it much better than buckwheat.I use it with a dust mite cover so I don’t know if that would be something that some people might have an issue with, but I haven’t had any issues with dust mites.It was very very fluffy when I got it. It has since packed down some and made it actually become more comfortable. If it gets to flat I put it in my dryer with no heat fluffs it back up.It does have a zipper which allows you to remove some if it is too puffy for you. The fibers are very soft.My one small concern is that the kapok is not washable. I am using it with a pillowcase as well as a dust mite case. Both of those can be washed but the pillow with the kapok fibers can’t be. I might repurchase when it gets older. Not sure yet.

I love my Bean Products kapok organic pillow. It came packaged well and arrived on time. I needed to remove some kapok to size it for me and examined the stuffing to be sure it is mold free. One review speaking about mold did not say what brand they ordered, but this brand had clean and dry kapok that's fluffy. I sleep so well on this. My PT told me my old pillow was too thin and I wanted something without foam that would be non-toxic, non-allergenic, and natural. I've had this for several months now. I do plump my pillow each night at bed time and then, when I roll over, I might sometimes give it another quick one. I am sensitive to smells, and never detected anything from this, which I had worried about given some reviews that didn't name the specific product. I highly recommend this pillow for it's comfort and ability to be plumped up over and over and over, just like new. Be sure that you get Bean Products and be careful about reviews that don't name the manufacturer.
