Pillows

Children's pillows with natural fills and covers instead of polyurethane foam or polyester stuffing.

We look beyond the cover to the material supporting the head, favoring wool, cotton, latex and other natural options. Fill, firmness and care requirements help distinguish the choices. Age suitability is essential: pillows do not belong in an infant's sleep space.
