<br>What Kind of Pillows Are Most Toxic? As consumers, we should know what pillows are made of and which ones are going to be the most toxic for our bodies. A memory foam is a great choice for many people with neck pain, but there may be some trade-offs where toxins are concerned. To make sure your memory foam pillow is safe, look for a CertiPUR-US® certification on the product. This means the pillow is not made with harmful chemicals and materials and has low VOC emissions. Buckwheat pillow is a great natural alternative to a [Derila™ Memory Foam Pillow](https://wiki.internzone.net/index.php?title=Nest_Easy_Breather_Pillow_Review) foam since it can also adjust to your body in the same fashion. The second alternative is bamboo pillows since they’re both organic and [hypoallergenic](https://mondediplo.com/spip.php?page=recherche&recherche=hypoallergenic). While less toxic than memory foam, feather and down pillows can pose a threat. A study reported3 some manufacturers use a combination of sticky chemicals called ‘glue’ to bind the down and create weight, along with antibacterial and antifungal chemicals to protect the product for long-term use. They also cite a previous finding of silicon in the glue compound and the [possibility](https://sportsrants.com/?s=possibility) of more unknown chemicals in it. If you prefer down and feathers but want something more natural, a helpful alternative is kapok pillows. Latex pillows are also a better option than memory foam. That’s because Latex is made from the sap of a rubber tree, creating a more natural product. Latex pillows can be made either blended - synthetic and natural - or all-natural. As you’re probably already catching on, the safest option will be avoiding synthetics altogether and getting an all-natural latex pillow. Thankfully, there are plenty of great organic Latex alternatives out there for you. And if you want to branch out even further, try a natural wool instead.<br> |
