Features & Highlights
Adjustable Loft Feature
An invisible zipper on one end of the pillow allows for adding or removing of fill to customize to your perfect height, firmness or weight.
Pillow Fill
Our unique pillow fill is a deliciously comfy fiber that creates a beautifully soft and supportive pillow. The fiber has been mechanically clustered into a loose fill made of small springy "balls" which allows you to adjust the amount in the pillow, customizing it to your needs and preferences.
This is also a safe, eco-friendly material made from BPA-free recycled plastic water bottles. We love that it is sequestering these single-use products in a usable, continuously recyclable form, instead of ending up in our landfills and waterways.
Fabric
The fabric we use for each pillow shell, carrying bag and pillowcase is 100% plant-based, made from USDA Certified Organic Texas-grown cotton. It's processed without any scouring agents, bleaches, dyes, or colorants maintaining its natural color and the plant-wax coating that helps prolong the life of the fiber.
Carrying Bag
Our Small & Regular Camping Pillows come with a carrying bag which is also made from USDA certified 100% organic cotton.
Pillowcases
Although many people prefer to use these pillows without a pillowcase (and one is not necessary since the entire pillow can be reglarly washed), we do offer them separately.
Our cases are designed with an inner flap/pocket which pulls over and around the pillow ensuring the pillow and case stay securely bundled together.
Hypoallergenic
All of the materials we use in our pillows and cases are allergy-free and contain no flame retardants, anti-wrinkle additives, bleaches, dyes, or colorants.
Handmade in Virginia
Since 2007, A Little Pillow Company has been handcrafting the most scrumptious allergy-free, fully adjustable and truly sustainable pillows available. Here's to another 17 years!
Materials + Packaging
All of our materials and packaging are 100% USA sourced and either compostable and/or recyclable.
Washing & Drying
Using any detergent, machine wash on cold. No need to wash on warm or hot. Modern detergents work equally, if not better, on cold. Machine dry on a low or medium setting.
For the pillows, adding a couple of dryer balls to your dryer will help loosen the fill and allow it to dry faster and more evenly.
Once out of the dryer, reshape the pillow by grabbing two corners and vigorously thumping it; repeat with the opposite corners. Roll or knead to finish the fluffing and reshaping.
Our Camping Pillows with Carrying Bag
The inner flap/pocket pulls over and around the pillow ensuring the pillow and case stay securely bundled together.
*Note: The pillows may be used with or without a pillowcase.

How to Wash & Dry Your Pillow
FAQs
Are the pillows water-proof?
No. In order for a textile product to be water-proof or water-resistant, either the fibers need to be coated with something "unnatural" or the weave needs to be so tightly woven that the fabric becomes un-breathable, translating into hot and uncomfortable.
Our mission for a healthy sleep is to be as clean as possible so the fabric on our cotton covers and cases is as untreated as it comes. Yes, the fill we use is a recycled plastic but that is also part of our mission: to strike a balance between new/natural and reusing/sequestering what has already been made.
What this means if the pillow gets wet, though, is that it will dry! Leave it out, if you aren't able to use a dryer, and periodically fluff it to assist in a faster, more even air dry.
Can the pillows be air-dried after washing?
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 any active mildew.
My pillow got wet and stayed wet, and after a few days, there are black spots on 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.
Is a pillowcase necessary or can I use the pillow without one?
These pillows work equally well without a pillowcase since they are designed to be regularly washed/dried as needed for optimum cleanliness. A pillowcase may increase the time needed between launderings but for those where packing weight is crucial, the pillowcase is completely optional.
Why does the pillow have an odd, chemical smell?
That unusual smell (that only some people notice actally) 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.
Why can't I find you on any social media sites?
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!
