Natural fiber in an organic cotton cover

Non-toxic pillows with nothing to off-gas.

Most pillows are finished with bleach, formaldehyde softeners, flame retardants and the stain repellents people now avoid as PFAS, and you breathe them all night. Ours are certified organic and natural. You breathe fiber, because that's all there is.

The list most pillow makers hope you never read.

Microplastics

Polyester and memory foam shed plastic as they break down. A natural fill sheds fiber.

Formaldehyde

The softener behind wrinkle-resistant finishes, and a classified carcinogen. Certification bans it at every stage.

Flame retardants

Sprayed on most foam and synthetic bedding to pass burn codes. Wool passes them on its own, so there's nothing to add.

Add the stain repellents people now avoid as PFAS, and that is the air a few inches from your face for a third of your life. Every Circadian pillow is a natural material in an organic cotton cover, screened clean, so there are no chemical finishes on it to off-gas into the air by your face.

Organic on the label is not the same as organic all the way through.

Our organic cotton and wool pillows are certified organic, the material inside as well as the cover, made in accordance with the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and traced from the farm to the finished pillow. Most brands certify the cover alone and call the whole thing organic.

The buckwheat, kapok, latex, and buckwool fills sit in that same organic cotton cover, and the latex is screened for more than 1,000 harmful substances to the safety tier used for baby products. Whichever you choose, the part touching your face is the clean part.

What are you trying to get away from?

Cotton
or Wool

Start with organic cotton or wool.

These are the two fills certified organic through every layer, so nothing was bleached, treated, or left to off-gas. If chemical off-gassing is what drove you here, this is the cleanest place to land.

Jacob Katz, founder of Circadian, laughing on a bed with Circadian pillows.

I couldn't find a pillow I trusted. So I made one.

Jacob Katz, founder

I spend as much time outside as I can. I wanted my eight hours in bed to be just as clean. Most pillows are foam and polyester, so I made one from plants and wool instead. You open it and set the height to fit your neck. Every pillow is sewn by hand in New Jersey and filled to order.

Read about PFAS and went down a rabbit hole

Ended up here because GOTS certified means no PFAS, no flame retardants, no sketchy stuff. Sleeps good too, but the peace of mind is why I bought it.

This works for my chemical sensitivity

Most organic pillows have an organic cover with conventional fill. The certification here covers the whole pillow. No reactions, sleeping well.

Allergy friendly

Wool is naturally dust too dry for mites. As someone who sneezes their way through most pillow options, this has been a relief.

A few last questions.

What makes these non-toxic?

Natural fills instead of foam and polyester, in an organic cotton cover, with no added flame retardants, formaldehyde finishes, or stain repellents. The cotton and wool pillows are certified organic through every layer by an independent third party, so it's verifiable, not a marketing word.

Which one is best if I'm chemically sensitive?

Organic cotton or organic wool. Both are certified organic, the material inside as well as the cover, so there's nothing in them to off-gas. Wool also keeps dust mites out on its own, which helps if allergies come with the sensitivity.

What if it isn't right for me?

Sleep on it for 60 nights. If it isn't your pillow, send it back for a full refund. Most orders arrive in four to seven days.
