As your toddler continues to grow, you’ll find that a good night’s sleep can go a long way in keeping your little one comfortable, happy and most importantly healthy. Introducing your child to an infant pillow that is designed to overcome restlessness, discomfort and bad posture can significantly improve your toddler’s sleep consistency.

You can’t go wrong with an organic wool pillow made with 100% sustainable, pure and natural fiber. Not only are wool pillows a wonderful alternative to other types of pillow in terms of providing safety and comfort, they are scientifically proven to increase comfort by providing a long and deep sleep – which is something that synthetic pillows often fail to accomplish.

In this article, you will learn the various benefits of using organic wool pillows and what things to look for when purchasing one for your young one.

Wool is a natural material and a great temperature regulator. It is breathable and has the ability to maintain a moderate temperature, providing comfortable sleep throughout the night. A wool pillow ensures that your toddler is perfectly safe, comfortable and not exposed to any synthetic chemicals as they sleep through the night. 

Natural wool automatically deters mold and dust mites, thereby preventing the development of allergies or skin problems. The 100% natural fiber of the wool pillows allows for maximum absorption of moisture; one of the key elements required by dust mites to survive. Amazingly, wool also has anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties, making it a suitable material for bedding.

There’s a common misconception regarding wool that it is itchy or rough. Several ongoing research studies are confirming the notion that wool pillows provide a more comfortable and deep sleep as compared to synthetic pillows. Natural wool-filled pillows are soft in texture, provide greater comfort and are perfect for toddlers who experience restlessness at night.

The pure and natural fibers of wool sooth and comfort infants, reducing stress and eliminating discomfort. The soft fibers in the wool pillow automatically help the toddler relax and sleep soundly throughout the night.

Being naturally-fire resistant, wool automatically becomes preferable to synthetic pillows that are not flame resistant. Organic wool pillows do not catch fire and act as natural fire retardants providing an added layer of protection to your child against any unexpected emergency scenarios.

Wool is a renewable material and is naturally grown, not synthesized in laboratories. Sheep grow abundant fleeces annually and farmers collect wool through shearing (which is equivalent of getting a haircut).

100% organic and natural sheep wool is innately bio-degradable and therefore, eco-friendly and sustainable. It does not cause pollution, is naturally grown and is certified as an excellent material for pillows and bedding. 

 When purchasing a wool pillow, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Investing in a 100% organic wool pillow for your toddler is something you would not regret. The eco-friendly pillow by Mother Sheep Organics is the best option available on the market at the moment. It has the maximum positive customer reviews on Amazon and I feel confident recommending it. 

With that said, even if you decide to buy an organic wool pillow from another company, make sure you do your research prior to spending your money. There’s no harm in asking questions regarding the manufacturing process that the company uses to prepare its wool. Once you’re satisfied, then by all means, go ahead and invest – your toddler deserves a nice organic wool pillow and you know it.
