Circadian Organic Cotton Pillow
GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton, inside and out
This is an all-cotton pillow. The fill is organic cotton, the case is organic cotton sateen. No foam, no polyester, nothing synthetic.
It's medium-firm, so firmer than down, softer than buckwheat. Think of it like a really good hotel pillow that keeps its shape all night. The cotton compresses where you need support, but doesn't go flat.
We've added a zipper so you can take cotton out to make it lower or softer. Most people remove about a handful to get it right. Store the extra in a jar for later. Or roll it up, put some eyes on it, and you have a friend.
GOTS Organic certification
This product was made in accordance with GOTS, which means the whole product meets organic standards. Most "organic" pillows only have organic covers. The certification covers everything from the cotton fields to the final stitching.
If that matters to you, this is one of the only pillows that can make that claim.

Questions? We've got answers
What is a cotton pillow?
Cotton fill is made from natural cotton fiber. Soft, breathable, and familiar in feel. It offers a more traditional pillow sensation with a clean, minimal-material profile.
- Best at: Softness, simplicity, a classic “hotel-style” feel
- Best for: Stomach sleepers (often prefer softer/low loft), anyone sensitive to “bouncy” fills
- Not ideal for: People who need very high structure or highly moldable support
Is this cotton pillow organic?
Yes. The pillow is GOTS-certified organic cotton cover plus organic cotton fill. Certification helps verify sourcing, but comfort depends most on the material and build.
Who is a cotton pillow best for?
Sleepers who want a simple, natural, medium-soft pillow. Especially back sleepers and anyone sensitive to “foam” feel.
Is cotton good for hot sleepers?
Cotton is naturally breathable and tends to feel neutral-to-cool, especially compared to synthetic foams.
How do I adjust loft correctly?
Start by removing a small amount of fill, then build a shallow “nest” with a slight ridge under the neck. Small changes can make a big difference.
How much fill is in each pillow?
Each Circadian pillow ships overstuffed by design so you can dial in the perfect height and firmness. Use the zipper to remove a little fill until your neck feels aligned and your shoulders can relax. Then store the extra fill for seasonal adjustments or future top-offs.
How does a cotton pillow feel compared to wool or kapok?
Cotton feels smoother and more familiar; wool feels springier and more temperature-regulating, while kapok feels lighter and loftier.
Can I buy extra fill later?
Yes, if you want to refresh loft over time or use fill for other pillows/projects, we can help with bulk fill. Contact us here.
How do I choose the right pillow for me?
The fastest way is our pillow quiz (built to match sleep position + preferences to the right fill). If you’d rather talk to a human, email us and we’ll recommend a fit based on what you’re trying to solve.
When will I get my order?
We ship within 1-2 business days. Standard shipping takes 3-5 business days within the US. Contact us here if you'd like the tracking number and expected delivery date.
Are your pillows adjustable?
Yes, all of our fills can be adjusted by removing or adding fill through the zippered opening until the loft feels right for your neck and sleep position.
When will I get my order?
We ship within 1-2 business days. Standard shipping takes 3-5 business days within the US. Email us at jacob@circadianrest.com if you'd like the tracking number and expected delivery date.
What is your sleep trial / return policy?
We honor a 60-night trial. Because many pillows can’t be resold after use and shipping heavy natural fills can be wasteful, we often use a “second life” return approach (keep/gift or donate/rehome) while still taking care of you financially.
Will this help with neck/shoulder discomfort?
Many customers shop for better alignment and support. The key is matching sleep position + loft + feel preference; we’re happy to help you get the fit right.
Does it have an odor when it arrives?
Natural materials can have a mild “fresh material” scent at first. Airing it out (and using a breathable pillowcase) typically resolves this quickly.
Can I get material samples before buying?
Yes, we can mail small material samples so you can feel the difference first (we typically charge a small amount to cover shipping). Please email us at jacob@circadianrest.com to request material samples.
