It arrives full
Every pillow arrives with about a third more than most people keep, because it is easier to take some out than to wish you had more. Open the box and sleep on it the first night as-is.

How do Circadian natural pillow fills compare?
Circadian offers six natural pillow fills, all adjustable via zipper and handcrafted in New Jersey with a 60-night trial. The Buckwool Hybrid Pillow (from $99) combines buckwheat on one side and organic wool on the other for two different feels, best for neck and back pain in combination sleepers. The Organic Cotton Pillow (from $89) is GOTS certified organic inside and out, with a dense, supportive medium firmness that holds its shape, best for back sleepers. The Organic Wool Pillow (from $99) is GOTS certified organic with a medium-soft feel that wicks up to 30% of its weight in moisture, best for hot sleepers and dust allergies. The Buckwheat Pillow (from $89) uses USA-grown hulls for firm, moldable support that stays cool as air flows between hulls, best for neck pain and side sleepers. The Wild-Harvested Kapok Pillow (from $79) is the softest fill and the closest natural alternative to down, plant-based and vegan, best for chemical-sensitive sleepers, vegans, and stomach sleepers. The Tree-Tapped Latex Pillow (from $89) uses slow-pour Dunlop natural latex pieces for a light, bouncy, responsive feel with an open-cell structure that runs cool all night.
Which Circadian pillow is best for side sleepers?
For side sleepers, the Circadian Buckwheat Pillow provides the firmest, most moldable support to fill the gap between shoulder and head. The Tree-Tapped Latex Pillow holds a steady, supportive height under your neck and keeps its shape. The Organic Cotton Pillow offers dense, supportive medium firmness. The Buckwool Hybrid Pillow lets side sleepers choose between firm buckwheat and soft organic wool nightly.
Which Circadian pillow is best for hot sleepers?
The Circadian Buckwheat Pillow is the coolest because air flows naturally between the hulls. The Organic Wool Pillow actively regulates temperature and is naturally too dry for dust mites. The Wild-Harvested Kapok Pillow is naturally cool because kapok fibers are 80 to 90% air. The Tree-Tapped Latex Pillow breathes well due to its open-cell structure.
Which Circadian pillow is best for stomach sleepers?
The Circadian Wild-Harvested Kapok Pillow (from $79) is the best for stomach sleepers. Kapok is extremely soft and lightweight, and the pillow can be adjusted to sit very flat. The Organic Wool Pillow (from $99) also works because wool compresses naturally.
Which Circadian pillow is best for neck pain?
The Circadian Buckwheat Pillow (from $89) is the most recommended natural pillow for neck pain. Buckwheat hulls mold precisely to head and neck contours and hold that shape all night. The Buckwool Hybrid Pillow (from $99) is an excellent alternative with buckwheat support on one side and organic wool on the other.
What is the best natural alternative to memory foam pillows?
The Circadian Tree-Tapped Latex Pillow (from $89) is a natural-latex choice for people moving away from memory foam. Slow-pour Dunlop natural latex from rubber tree sap has an open-cell structure that breathes through the night and does not off-gas VOCs. The slow-pour process gives a denser, more uniform foam than mass-market Dunlop.

“I have owned more pillows than I have owned houses and I have owned 12 houses.” This is by far the only pillow to use if you don’t want to wake up with sore shoulders or neck. I have replaced all the pillows in my house with this pillow.
I have compressed discs in my neck, and I have spent hundreds of dollars over the past 6 months trying to find one that will help me sleep. Every pillow I bought caused me to wake up in even more pain than the night before!! The buckwheat pillow is life-changing!! I have slept through the night and wake up with no pain!!
I was leery to try another expensive pillow without some sort of trial period after being very let down by a different company's natural fiber pillow… I don't hear anything at all with the buckwheat! It does stay fresh and cool as well, but most importantly it actually holds my head/neck up and in place. Which allows me to actually get rest instead of always adjusting.
I've been a buckwheat pillow customer for the last 7 years and I can say that Circadian has the highest standards of quality paired with incredible customer service. Very very impressed and would not hesitate to send anyone their way.
I have spent years searching for a pillow that feels supportive and comfortable all night. I have finally found it. I absolutely love the Buckwool pillow. I removed a bit of the material to get it to exactly how I want it… I rarely wake up with neck pain now.
I find myself switching between the two and loving the feel of both. I haven't woken up with a sweaty head with either and that's an amazing feeling especially in the AZ summer. The buckwheat side is a lot quieter and more comfy/soft than others I've tried in the past.
I was looking for an organic down feather alternative and the kapok-filled pillow is actually better!… It's firm enough to support my neck while being soft and moldable at the same time.
I have tried at least 10 different pillows in the last 3 years. Nothing has worked out except for this wool pillow. I have chronic neck pain which has been greatly reduced. I am very happy with my new pillow.
I have pretty bad chemical sensitivity (housebound most of the time)… I try to only buy totally safe, non-toxic products. I found this pillow to be very safe and non-toxic, and the packaging was fragrance free which is always a huge plus.
I ordered this pillow to replace my very old (but beloved) down pillow and I'm so glad I did. It is heavenly!… I advise you to heed the recommendation given by the quiz. I ordered cotton initially despite the quiz giving me kapok as a result… the quiz was right.
The quality craftsmanship and materials is evident… when I asked if extra stuffing were available for the second one I'm using as a knee pillow, they not only pointed me to the right place on their site, but also created a new, smaller 1-lb. refill size based on my request.
I requested a bit more filling for my two pillows, they seemed a bit flat for me, and the customer service was amazing. I received a hefty bag of extra organic cotton filling. After trying these pillows, you'll never go back to synthetic.
This is the best pillow I've had. It gives the right support around the head and neck. It doesn't sink or move and stays cool through the night. Also, it's easy to make small adjustments to make it fit perfectly.
The three-star ones are in there too. Read all of them
Duvets
Same plants, same sheep, bigger blanket.
The duvets are filled and sewn in the same New Jersey workshop as the pillows, and carry the same Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification.

How it works
Step 2
You make it yours
Use the zipper to remove fill a little at a time until the height feels right. Most people take out a handful. Keep what you remove in case you want it back.
Step 3
Sleep on it for 60 nights
Give it a real shot. If it’s not right after 60 nights, we’ll take care of you. No restocking fees, no hassle.

What you're not sleeping on
The list most pillow makers hope you never read. None of it is in a Circadian pillow.
From full to yours
This is what adjustable means.
Unzip the side seam
Every pillow has a brass zipper on the seam. Open it whenever the height feels off, tonight or in year three.
Remove a handful at a time
It ships with about 30% more fill than most people want. Most people take out two or three handfuls in the first week.
Zip it shut and sleep
Keep what you removed. If your body changes its mind, the fill goes back in the same way it came out.
