Green Daily

With all Green Daily's talk about furniture a few weeks ago, I began to consider what inhabits my room. Nothing made of foam...except pillows. Toxic city, probably.

So I sought some good alternatives through PureRest.com (though there are organic bedding sites and stores, galore).

My dream pillow is the organic cotton-fill standard. I've tried these over at Whole Foods, and they're really quite dense, which I like. What I don't like is how expensive they are: around $60 a pop.

Pure Rest also sells kapok pillows, "made from the flower of a tall fruit tree." They say that kapok is similar to silk, and doesn't mat like cotton. And then there's o-wool, culled from sheep who live a stress free, organic-fed life. (May we all be so lucky.)

You can purchase chemical-free rubber fill pillows, too, and, if you're especially brave...try buckwheat.
