Bed pillow dimensions are listed "on the flat", meaning before they are filled.  Once fill is added (turning a 2D shape into 3D) the sides effectively "pull in" as they accommodate that extra dimension.  Lightly stuffed will pull sides in less than a pillow super stuffed.  Because of this variation, the on-the-flat dimension is the way the measurements are standardized across the industry.  Although the loft (i.e. fill amount) of our pillows can be increased or decreased with our Adjustable Loft Feature, please keep this 2D-to-3D "shrinking" in mind when ordering in case you want to go up a size.

You may exchange or return an item within 90 days, with prior notification. Once an item is received, any refund expected will be issued within 1 - 2 business days.

We cover return shipping charges if you paid for outbound shipping. If the order originally received free shipping, then return shipping is your responsibility. Another way of putting it: we will pay one way and you the other. (*Excludes international orders.)

Exchanges are treated as returns/refunds and then a reorder of the new items.

There are several reasons for this, most significantly is the large volume of water, energy and chemicals required to grow and process cotton woven fabrics compared to the low-inputs necessary for making a jersey knit.  Additionally, the jersey knit is super soft, breathable, cool and more form-fitting on a pillow.  In summary, it's simply a more scrumptious and sustainable fabric.

No, it actually doesn't.  Our 100% cotton knit has excellent breathability which is what helps make it superb at staying cool. This is also why, when it's hot in the summer, we reach for a cotton t-shirt over a woven (even short sleeve) button down.

That really is up to you.. You can go as long as once a year or as little as once a month.  More often than that is probably unnecessary unless it is being used in a particularly high-use way, such as a preschool, for instance.

These pillows work equally well without a pillowcase since they were designed to be regularly washed/dried as needed for optimum cleanliness. A pillowcase may increase the time needed between launderings but is completely optional.

All of our products are made-to-order and usually ship within 3 - 5 business days. Estimated carrier shipping times listed at checkout are in addition to that. If you need your order sooner, please make a note at checkout or email us and we will be glad to move you to the head of the queue.

NOTE: Due to our rural location, actual carrier expedited shipping is not available.

We do ship internationally to most countries with DHL.  We do not, however, know how much duties and taxes may be at the recipient's end.  That value is assessed in-country and not available to us

NOTE: As of September 2021, we will no longer be shipping to Canada due to continued issues issues at Customs.  Many of our shipments are being returned to us by Customs officials with no explanation given so until we can work out the issue, we aren't going to be able to fulfill any orders to our dear Canadian neighbors.

Yes! Our fill s made from a USA produced rPET (the "r" stands for recycled). PET has been approved as safe for contact with humans, foodstuffs and beverages by the FDA, Health Canada, the European Food Safety Authority and virtually every other health-safety agency in the world. It has been used for food and beverage containers for decades without any known adverse effects. Extensive studies of PET and PET packaging have repeatedly shown it to be safe.

In all processed cotton, tiny pieces of the cotton plant (leaf, stem and seed) can get spun and knitted into the fabric.  Typically, bleaching and dying will make these disappear but in raw, organic cotton like we use, those flecks may still be visible.  But in all instances, they are completely natural and do not harm the fabric at all.

That unusual smell (that only some people notice actually) isn’t a chemical on the fabric at all as we do use 100% USDA Certified Organic Cotton. It is simply the natural “earthy” plant odor from unprocessed cotton that hasn’t been treated, bleached, dyed or deodorized.  It is completely non-toxic and will dissipate naturally over time.

It may smell more intense when wet (after washing, for instance) the same way many other things smell stronger when wet, such as dogs or grass.  Most of this is due to the oil from the cotton seed which is present during ginning; and, as with all oil-based substances, can linger longer on fabric.  One way to help dissipate it faster is by soaking the pillow or case with a little white vinegar and baking soda before washing.

Do know there are definitely some people who notice this plant smell more than the average person and interpret it as unpleasant. It is a small minority but probably an indicator of super-smellers, like those persons who are super-tasters. 

A stronger smell may also be noticeable on some items and not on others due to bundles of fabric that were processed more or less recently from the cotton field.

Our Fabrics:

The fabric we use for our pillow covers and pillowcases starts in the cotton fields right here in the USA. The farmer that grows the cotton we use is from Texas and has been USDA Certified Organic since 1992.  The cotton then moves to the processing stage (ginning, spinning, knitting, finishing), which is also USA-regionally local to us.

Our Fill:

The BPA-free water bottles from which our stuffing is made are collected from recycling bins all over the USA before being cleaned, chipped, extruded and finally clustered into our 100% eco-friendly fill....just down the road in the Carolinas.

Bits and Bobs:

Our zippers and thread originate in the Peach State; our tags, again from Texas. We love knowing that our efforts to keep our transportation and carbon-footprint small are proving successful and we continue to shrink that radius with new, local sources for sustainable packaging.

Sewing & Shipping:

All of the above pillow and pillowcase components arrive here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where our business headquarters and sewing facility happily reside under one roof.  Our Team is made of local people who gather together to cut-out and sew and iron and fluff and package and discuss the goings-on in the world.  And if a little gossip creeps into the conversation from time to time, well, we are only human after all.

Yes, although it will take longer, depending on the air temperature and level of humidity, and it will require more attention from you.

In order to dry thoroughly, you will need to fluff it often to make sure inner moisture makes its way to the outer shell. If you're not using a spin-cycle on a washing machine to remove excess moisture, it's imperative that you wring out as much water as possible before air-drying .

Any significant moisture left inside the pillow, after a few days may begin to mildew. This won't by any means mark the end of your pillow. It will mean however that you will want to soak it with a capful of bleach or a quarter cup of white vinegar and then rewash it in order to kill the mildew spores and remove the smell.

NOTE: Mildew is notorious for its staining capability, (perhaps the permanent marker formula was derived from it!) but any residual stain spots do not mean the mildew itself is still present; bleach or vinegar (or leaving it in the sun for a few hours) will take care of it.

This is most likely common mildew, which is easily treatable by soaking with a capful of bleach or a quarter cup of white vinegar and then washing and drying. The stain may not disappear completely but the active mildew will be killed and the pillow perfectly fine to keep using.

Put simply, it's just not who we are. We did have it all a few years back but were feeling so fatigued we wondered if that could be why. So, we cut the cord and have felt blissfully better ever since!

In addition to the toll it was causing on our mental health, we learned of the toll it also takes on our planet.

According to Greenspector, in 2021 "there were 4.33bn social media users globally. Across the 10 social media platforms the company looked at, their combined use adds up to 262m tonnes CO2e. That’s 0.61% of global emissions, or almost the same as the carbon footprint of Malaysia."

As we already create carbon via our website and email platform, social media was something we could NOT do to create less.

For us personally and in terms of our business growth, it's simply been a win-win all around!

It is right on the edge of being classified as a microplastic. The good news is that it is being sequestered inside the pillow (until recycled again into another form) and is far less likely to enter our environment than the fabrics and textiles we wear.
