Organic and non-toxic throw pillows that are healthier for you.

Avocado

The mini pillow from Avocado is perfect as a non toxic throw pillow insert. Latex is a fantastic alternative to polyester pillow inserts because it’s sproingy and supportive, but actually organic. Opt for pure latex or one blended with organic kapok, a fluffy fiber.

Parachute

Parachute’s natural down pillows are encased in cotton and are importantly, OEKO TEX certified, ensuring minimal chemicals were used in the processing. They also have responsible RDS certification for their down filling.

Magic Linen

Magic Linen makes OEKO TEX class 2 certified natural linen pillow cases in many solid colors and prints (Matisse inspired!) and in standard, and custom sizes. I’ve ordered them again and again over the years.

Coyuchi

Coyuchi has a variety of organic and natural inserts and cases with GOTS, OEKO TEX, and other certifications. Neutral color palette for an organic modern couch or bedroom.

FYI ➜ “Non-toxic” doesn’t have a definition, and I use the words chemical-free,toxin, and toxic on Interior Medicine inaccurately. I do this for practical purposes, for now: they’re accessible terms that allow people to find what they’re looking for, and they’re shorthand for a complicated problem. I made an entire (free!) course about this. Check it out here.
