A DF is just transitioning her DS to a pillow (he sleeps on a stuffed animal right now) and is looking for a healthy pillow for him. She mentioned this to me and that they dip regular pillows into chemicals to make them fire resistant. Well I'm feeling like a bad mommy because my kids sleep on regular costco pillows. Now I'm thinking I need something more natural for them to sleep on (they are breathing that air for 11 hours each night). Any suggestions on a healthier alternative to regular pillows? I know you BBB will have excellent advice!!!
TIA

No idea but even if the pillow is organic the mattresses have the same chemicals. Blech!

I found one at Walmart of all places. It may not be top-notch quality, but I figure for the price (highly affordable!) I'm okay with that. I don't have one but it's on my to-buy list, along with mattress pads and new sheets (sold out online, but available in the store by Canopy brand.)

FYI...Target has had their organic sheets on clearance for forever now. Soooo soft!Mama to "The Fantastic Four":

I don't know if they still have them, but a few years ago I got us natural latex pillows on overstock. Our bed is made of the same stuff (savvy rest).
As a pillow it is a little springy feeling for me...DH loves his. I'm still sleeping on my ancient feather one (non organic).Mama to DS-2004
