What Makes This Good Stuff
I am a pillow fanatic, and I can’t sleep without the perfect pillow! I’ve even been known to travel with my favorite pillow because I can’t trust that a hotel will have one that’s suitable. Therefore, I was thrilled when I found these sumptuous pillows from White Lotus. They are truly Good Stuff in every way, including the fact that they are the most eco-friendly pillows on the market.
“Down alternative” pillows (such as Primaloft) are made of spun polyester, made from nonrenewable petroleum products. “Memory foam” pillows are typically made from polyurethane, a petroleum product that emits VOCs, which are linked to everything from asthma to cancer.
White Lotus Kapok Pillow Features:
- Kapok, a fiber extracted from the seed pod of the kapok tree, provides the baby soft touch and comfort of down, while offering a natural alternative to the cruelty involved in extracting feathers from birds for down pillows.
- The kapok is harvested in the rainforest, protecting the life ways and ecosystems of indigenous people, and hand-stuffed in the USA.
- Made with a 100% organic cotton casing.
- Kapok pillows mold for your support and pleasure.
This pillow also comes with an optional zipper. If you are unsure of which firmness to get, choosing a firm pillow with a zipper allows you to remove or add the pillow fiber filling to your liking.
All of White Lotus’s natural bedding products are handmade in the USA by skilled artisans at the time of your purchase. Because these are made one-at-a-time, most orders are shipped within two weeks, but it can take up to five weeks during periods of high-volume sales. This product ships directly from the manufacturer.
Please note that returns are only accepted if the product is un-used and all returned White Lotus products will incur a 20% restocking fee.

I was very excited to get a pillow made with sustainable natural fibers. I chose the medium firmness. The quality is very good; however, the pillow is too thick for me to use at all. I’m normally a side sleeper and it’s way too thick for that, and I couldn’t even use it read on my back for long at all. Not sure what to do at this point – pull stuffing out? I don’t want to wreck it but it’s not usable right now. I doubt pillow returns are accepted.

Suzanne of Gimme the Good Stuff here- I am a pillow fanatic and I love these pillows but I am so glad that Julia above wrote this review. (And Julia, we wrote you an email about how to return this pillow). We here at Gimme the Good Stuff welcome feedback and because of Julia we have decided to carry the pillows with a zipper so that our customers can adjust the thickness of the pillow to their own comfort. Thanks again!
