    PLEASE NOTE: It has come to my attention that I read the tag, ad, and more wrong on the pillow. While the case is organic cotton, the fill is synthetic. I apologize as I was not trying to lead any one astray. Just another lesson in reading the WHOLE listing and not part. What I can say is that it is still a very comfortable pillow and while I am disappointed to to learn it is not entirely natural, I am still happy with it ruclips.net/user/shorts5osQfKSzyis

      Oh bummer! It happens though, thanks for the heads up! I've bought organic pillows from a variety of places, so you got me simmering about some I have but not sure I could figure out how to go look as I've had some for couple years or longer. We do the best we can do, all I can say.😁 For years now I've bought organic cotton sheets and try to on blankets as well though quilts are much harder to find organic so I settle on just 100% cotton. I'm excited though to check out the linen sheets you got as I'm in the market for another set of sheets for my bed. I too notice the heat sometimes and its so confusing some I know the material is supposed to breathe better. I used to think it was my mattress material but I specifically have purchased organic materials in my mattresses and they all proclaimed breathe better and not hold heat??? Great video bringing about awareness....as usual!❤

      When you pulled out the pillow's stuffing, I thought, "That doesn't look like natural cotton." A long time ago, I had cotton-filled pillows and they became lumpy. They took a very long time to dry, and they were too heavy for me.

    Highly recommend Elfenbein Bedding. Family owned and run business, really excellent quality Hungarian down pillows and comforters, handmade by a husband-and-wife-and-son team in their workshop, and they can custom make for any bedding size. I don’t work for them, in case this sounds like an advertisement, just really pleased with my pillow and comforter, and love supporting small-scale family-owned businesses. I bought mine 2 years ago, and they're still just as good today as the day I got them.
    I hated being poked by awful feathers too Heidi, and the difference with down is night and day. Amazing temperature regulation. Funny that with all our human technology and know-how, God's own creations are still miles better.

    I was fortunate enough to thrift a king linen sheet set that honestly I don’t believe was ever used. I won’t use another from now on. They are AMAZING! I believe they are the best fiber energetically to use against our bodies. Synthetic fibers build up such static charges and I feel affect us negatively, while linen is very neutral and has such a calming effect on the human body. Plus the more I use and wash them the better they feel❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼

    Do a study on youtube about the health benefits of linen. It's amazing! It has a frequency of 1000 only equal to wool. It is suggested to not wear them together because they cancel each other out. The body's natural frequency when healthy is 100. Wearing synthetics actually drain the body's frequency thus make it more vulnerable to sickness & disease.

    I grew up sleeping on down pillows. These were pillows that were made from a feather mattress that belonged to my grandmother. My mother took them to a laundry mat that took all the feathers out and washed them and dried them in a big something that warm air blew in the container and dried and fluffed them up. Then they made new pillows from pillow ticking and put the feathers back in. I think several pillows were made out of that mattress. Then I grew up, married, moved to my own home and took my two feather pillows with me. My husband brought his two old hand made feather pillows from his mommas house. I would periodically put them in the drier on cool air and fluff them up. Helps with the dust too. Eventually, I washed them by removing the feathers and putting them in thin pillow cases. Then washed them in gentle cycle in the washer and then dried them on cool setting in my drier. Then I went and bought more pillow ticking and made new pillow covers. When the feather were dry, I put them in the pillow case. All dealings with the feather were outside. lol of course feathers being natural, they did finally come apart and became nothing but a pillow full of lint. The original feathers of that mattress came from the birds my grandmother had on the farm. I believe they were duck down or goose down. I don’t think chicken down works as well. I have no experience with commercially made down pillows.

I found a tiny couch pillow that is 13x13x3.5, cotton stuffed and fairly rigid.

    PS "Natural Organic Foam" can be made out of Soy. I was looking into it. When i saw that i went hunting for Other foam.
    I have feather pillows. They poke out the fabric. I found it odd, since i bought expensive Canadian Huttertite Pillows. But they had a flawed batch of Ducking Fabric. I did contact them. They did not offer any options to help.
    But i have a lot of troubles, not getting lumps during the night, which put my shoulder or neck out.
    But i still find them better than chip foam, or batting filled.
    I just bought Organic Cotton.
    I hunted Linen. But i found the price way too high for me!

    I have used a buckwheat hull pillow for the last 35 years - geez I feel old! I even have to take it with me when I travel. It IS firm, but not hard, and it conforms to your head and neck. But if you need a soft pillow, you probably won't enjoy it. I periodically switch out the hulls as they smooth out over the years and it reduces the size of the pillow. But I am 4'10", which is pretty dang short and "normal" pillows are just too big for the crook of my neck.

    Bamboo pillows are very nice. Soft, they hold their shape, they're comfortable, and easy to wash and dry. I bought one a year ago, quite dear I thought, about £60. But it's worth it. The only down side is their size is bigger than standard pillows so standard pillow slips don't fit. You have to buy pillow slips from the firm that sells the bamboo pillows. They're dear too. About £50. Bamboo is healthy, organic, anti bacterial. So we'll worth having.

    Linen sheets will last a life time. I'm weird... I love white sheets. Mine came from 100% USA...The company is Rough Linen. Also I love My Pillow... I also took out a little if the fill, and hand stitched it back.

    I recently purchased a linen sheet set from Quince. My first linen sheets. I do like them very much, but I don't have an 18" deep mattress, so the "fitted" sheet doesn't fit very well. It's very sloppy. I miss the sheets of my childhood where the fitted sheet was very taught. Sometimes made it hard to make the bed but so nice to slip into a bed with no wrinkles.

    I have 3 feather pillows I’ve had for 40 years so they must be down. Still very soft and fluffy. I hog them to myself and everyone else has the cheaper pillows. I do also have a cooling pillow because I went through menopause, was miserable, and my daughter bought it for me. I love that one too.

    I love silk sheets. They don't dry out my low-porosity hair (my cuticle is so tight it rejects water and the wrong conditioners/styling products) or pull out my hair. They are supposed to be skin friendly too. I had buckwheat pillows when I was little and always heard crunching leaves. I love kapok. I prefer a flat pillow. Rough Linen used to be linked by a toxin free list I follow. On Etsy you can see where it ships from and maybe ask the seller where they are made.

    They aren't actual buckwheat pillows they are the hulls or chaff. They aren't soft but they will hold your head firmly. The are light and smell like a wheat field, which is pleasant.The Chinese use them. They also use straw mattresses.

    Frustrating about the sheets and China, but to be fair, they do put that right in their description, so they are transparent. Who knows about honest, but at least transparent.

    Oh, Heidi, how incredibly timely!! Thank you for talking about this!! We've always just used whatever we could find/afford but now that we are in a place in life (in every sense!) that it's more feasible to be more particular about what we do, we are looking into new pillows, bedding (sheets, blankets, quilts), and mattresses. We have a set of microfiber sheets that we do not like for various reasons so we hardly use them but I keep them as a backup. We also have a set of cotton sheets but they are OLD (we got them secondhand for free when we were homeless so who knows exactly how old they are) and every time I hang them (we don't have a dryer) I can't help but notice how thin they are getting. I want to replace them ASAP but I don't want to buy just any old sheets. I want to invest in GOOD, natural ones. Pillows, blankets/quilts, and mattresses, too, of course. Same goes for our childrens' sleep stuff. One thing at a time, though. We've saved up a sizeable chunk towards this investment but we can't afford to do it all at once. I doubt anyone else here can, either.
    My husband's best friend has a buckwheat pillow. His is HARD and it's HEAVY. You fill to your liking, is my understanding, so I guess he just likes sleeping on a cinder block LOL
    And yes, incredibly disappointing and discouraging how much stuff isn't made here.
    Definitely going to come back here in a few hours to scope out the suggestions fellow viewers have 😊 Thanks again, Heidi!

    • @katie7748
      @katie7748 Месяц назад +1

      Also, one of the reasons why we never tried the better, more expensive options (especially for pillows and mattresses) before is that you won't know how much you like or dislike it until you try it. It's still a hurdle to get over, but, I mean, you really *won't* know until you try, right?

      ​​@@Kay-du4ll Oh, and we have a king-sized bed (one of the *very few* luxuries we have). Finding GOOD used sheets where we live that are a color we like and that will fit is a nightmare. I keep my eyes peeled but they always have worn out elastic, are stained, have only a flat or a fitted sheet (rarely do I find sets), are ugly, etc. Beggars can't be choosers but if I'm going to spend hard-earned money on something, I'd better love it.

    This was interesting; I have looked off and on today and cannot find one source that the sheets are not made in China or India. Recently I made a day/work skirt out of 100% linen and can tell such a difference from the cotton ones I have always worn in spring/summer here in the south, lots of heat and humidity. I have another piece to make a top. I suppose if I had the time and great inclination I could make my own sheets ")), but.... Appreciate all your videos. In Joy

    I have buckwheat hull pillows but never use them. They are crunchy and I never found them comfortable. They were of the original ones made and didn't come with the zipper. They can't be washed according to the manufacturer but the seam can be cut and the hulls removed to a storage bin so the shell can be washed. It was pure misery getting the hulls back in place. There isn't any way I'd recommend them.

    Curious about mattress. I have heard nothing but good on birch living. However, doesn't seem to be anywhere around me that you can even see/try in person. They are spendy just like our temperpidic (love) but need new after 16 t years. Looking for more natural bedding. I think I may try linen sheets. I really like more natural. Have bamboo now and love, however it was not 100% but rather a blend. I will admit I think I am a sheet snob, but I enjoy a great night sleep and enjoy😊
