FAQ:

Q. Are these pillows guaranteed?

These pillows are guaranteed for up to one year from date of purchase when care instructions are followed along with normal usage.

Q. Are they organic?

No. We do not use organic cotton only because when we do, we get 8 out of 10 pillows back. We love the idea of organic cotton, but too many chemically sensitive and allergic people tell us the smell of organic cotton bothers them. Until we find an organic cotton that our customers are able to use, we will continue to use our top quality cotton which has proven over the years to be successful.

Q. How thick are the pillow?

Approximately 5 to 6 inches in the middle.

Q. Are the pillows hard?

No. 99.9% of our customers tell us our cotton pillows are soft and springy. Occasionally, a customer wants a firmer pillow and requests one with more cotton fill. These are available upon request.

Q. Are they washable?

Yes. When the care instructions on the tag label are followed. Please wash one pillow at a time in cold or hot water on gentle cycle with a non-phosphate detergent such as ALL or Arm & Hammer phosphate free. Shaklee and Amway also make a phosphate-free laundry detergent. Most people are sensitive or allergic to phosphate.

Q. Can I put them in the dryer?

Yes, but again the care instructions MUST be followed. You can put the pillow in the dryer to dry if you add three clean tennis balls to the dryer with the pillow.

Q. Do your cotton pillows lump?

No. Years ago, cotton pillows were noted for "lumping" and "knotting" after being washed. Our pillows are different! They will not "lump"when washed following the care instructions on the tag label.

Q. I have a queen size bed, should I order queen size pillows?

You certainly may. However, keep in mind that all you "old" pillowcases (unless they are for queen size) will be short.

Q. Do the pillows go flat after a while?

Yes. Then you can place them in the hot sun for two or three hours to replump. You also may place in the dryer with several tennis balls to beat it and replump it as it tumbles.

Q. Do I need covers on the pillows other than a pillowcases?

If you wish. This is a personal option. Certainly, if you have a bedfast person in the home and the pillow may occasionally be soiled, a zippered cover is helpful.

Q. How often does one need to replace their pillow?

Replace most pillows every year or two depending on how well they are wearing. Many of our customers prefer to use our pillows for longer periods.

Q. Are cotton pillows comfortable?

Many people do not like the feel of synthetic or polyester pillows. They are allergic to down and wool. A good alternative is the 100% cotton pillow. It is definitely more comfortable than the other non-down pillows. It is a well-made, allergy free alternative.

Q. Is a cotton pillowcase or sheet necessary?

Yes. If you sleep on a pure cotton pillow yet cover the pillow with a polyester (or even a 50% cotton/50% polyester) pillowcase, you reduce the effectiveness of the 100% cotton pillow. According to Dr. William Rea, head environmental doctor for American Environmental Health Foundation in Dallas, Texas, everyone needs to keep their bedroom as free of synthetics as possible so the body can get restorative sleep. He recommends no synthetics, no reading material in the bedroom while you sleep. He also suggests sleeping on 100% cotton sheets as well as 100% cotton pillows with 100% cotton pillowcases.
