• August 07, 2017 Organic or Non-Organic Cotton Pillows? Which is better?

  
  There is a lot of misinformation out there on the web about organic cotton, with many companies leading you to believe that it is directly healthier to sleep on organic.  But this isn't actually true at all.  What most people don't realize is that organic cotton isn't quite the same thing as organic produce where there may be residual pesticides, herbicides, etc. able to enter your body.
