The same organic New Zealand wool that goes into our Organic Wool Pillow. Top off your existing pillow as the fiber compresses over years of use.
Bagged in our New Jersey workshop. Free shipping.
Organic wool from certified organic farms in New Zealand. The same wool we put in our Organic Wool Pillow.
Open the zipper on the short end on your existing pillow. Add wool a handful at a time until the height sits where you want. The bag re-seals so you can save extras for next time.
The wool in this bag is the wool that fills our Organic Wool Pillow, covered by GOTS license GOTS-10229, issued by Oregon Tilth. The natural lanolin coating stays on every fiber, and the dryness the wool holds is what keeps dust mites out.
Organic wool pulls sweat into the fiber core while the surface stays dry, and your heat leaves with it. Hot sleepers start sleeping cooler within the first week.
Organic wool holds you at one temperature all night, which is how a Circadian Organic Wool Pillow handles night sweats. It moves up to 30 percent of its own weight in moisture off your skin, and the heat leaves with it. The air it holds also stays too dry for dust mites to settle in. Both come from the fiber itself, so there is no treatment to wash out. The wool will eventually settle with use, and when it does, this refill brings the height back without replacing the pillow.
This refill is the same organic wool used in every Circadian Organic Wool Pillow. It is sold by weight, so you top up to the firmness you want. The wool comes in soft layers. Inside a pillow the wool may sit as separate sheets or as one long piece folded back and forth, and a new layer lies flat on top of either. Open the zipper on the pillow's short end, lay in a layer at a time until the height feels right, seal it back up. Wool's natural springiness means even a single added layer raises the height noticeably.
Certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), under Oregon Tilth license GOTS-10229. An auditor goes through what went into the wool every year. Sourced from sheep raised on certified organic farms in New Zealand, scoured without chlorine bleach or harsh detergents. Same fiber, same supply chain, same audit trail as the pillow it goes into.
A pillow holds less wool than almost anyone guesses. That is why these sizes go further than they sound. These are the amounts we weigh into each size on the bench:
| Size | Dimensions | Wool inside |
|---|---|---|
| Travel | 12" x 16" | 0.8 lb |
| Standard | 20" x 26" | 2.8 lb |
| Queen | 20" x 30" | 3.4 lb |
| King | 20" x 36" | 4.3 lb |
| Body | 20" x 72" | 9 lb |
Which means 1 lb tops up any pillow and rebuilds a travel one outright. 3 lb rebuilds a Standard from empty. 5 lb does a Queen or a King. 10 lb is the body pillow size.
If you are topping up rather than starting over, buy the 1 lb. Wool goes back in the bag whenever you want it, and a sheet you have not opened out keeps for years.
Open the zipper on the short end of your Circadian Organic Wool Pillow, lift a layer off the outside of the refill, and pull it flat between your hands so it opens up properly rather than bunching into a clump. Lay it in, add another layer if the height still feels low, and seal it back up. If you overshoot, lift a whole layer back off the outside, at the crease if it is folded, and set it aside, rather than reaching into the middle. It goes back in whenever you want it. The first night with new wool may feel slightly firmer until it settles into your sleep position.
Freshly added wool sits denser than the wool already in the pillow. Leave it exposed to room air, or set it in indirect sunlight for an afternoon, and it clears on its own.

Organic Cotton PillowYes. The wool works in any zippered wool pillow, ours or another brand. Open the zipper and add wool a handful at a time until the loft matches where you want it. The fiber is the same Organic wool we use in our Organic Wool Pillow.
Most people top off every three to five years. Wool compresses gradually with use and the pillow sits lower than it did at unboxing. Add wool a handful at a time until the loft matches your sleep position.
Yes. The fiber carries Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification under license GOTS-10229, issued by Oregon Tilth. GOTS rules out synthetic pesticides on the sheep, chlorine bleaching during scour, chrome-based dyes, and synthetic mothproofing treatments.
Certified organic farms in New Zealand, where sheep graze outdoors on grass. New Zealand law has banned cutting skin from a lamb's hindquarters since 2018.
