Pillow Review - Natural Bedroom Extra Fill Wool Pillow
Wow, has it been a long time! So much has happened since my last review, including a much needed vacation, but the details will be for another entry - likely sometime next week. On to the review: Last month I slept on the Natural Bedroom's (also known as Vivetique) Extra Fill Wool Pillow. The sample pillow was in Standard size, as are all test pillows, and it was slept on nightly for the entire month. The pillow is filled with a generous amount of the trademarked Pure Grow Wool and covered in organic cotton. It is completely sewed closed, there is no zipper for access to the core materials. The pillow is the highest loft that Natural Bedroom offers in wool. I found the loft, for being advertised as such, to be a little lower than what I would call "full" but not quite medium. So, maybe we have found a halfway point between really high loft and medium here? With the added wool content, the pillow was much firmer than the medium fill model. This wasn't bad, but just know that the softness of a lite or medium fill does not carry over when you go to the extra fill level. The pillow held up very well, retaining its shape and total consistancy of feel. Given this, it is clear that the pillow would hold up for a considerable amount of time. I also would comment that this is allergy season here (we have lots of juniper trees) and I tend to disagree with the pollen found in this area. For the whole of the month, I did not have one incidence of waking up with an allergy reaction (ie. sneezing) which is new. The only change made to the bedroom was the pillow. Overall, I liked the pillow but would have liked a little more height out of an extra fill. The Natural Bedroom Extra Fill Wool Pillow is available in Standard, Queen and King sizes. It is packaged simply in a plastic bag. Thanks to those that have been sending me pillows to review! I'm going to do some quick takes on a couple this month so you know they have not gone unnoticed! 2008-05-06 23:04:56 GMT
