View source for Our Avocado Green Pillow Review After Two Years Of Use

<br>I love my Avocado Green Pillow, in large part because it is easily adjustable to suit all sleep positions. It’s also super sustainable and non-toxic. Here’s my experience with the Avocado Green Pillow, with one small suggestion for improvement. Highlights: Supportive but soft, easily adjustable pillow made with organic latex and organic kapok. Sustainable, comfortable, and non-toxic. Great for all sleep positions! Comes overstuffed and with extra fill! Made in the U.S. Avocado doesn’t disappoint with its signature Green Pillow. This adjustable pillow comprises 70% certified organic shredded latex and 30 percent certified organic kapok. The fill comes in a GOTS certified organic cotton case with zipper, with an extra cover over top for protection. The outer organic cotton case has a 400 thread count for extra comfort, and to prevent fill migration. Given the fluffiness of kapok, a relatively high thread count is a must. Otherwise, those fine fibers will easily escape!<br><br><br><br>The latex and kapok combination makes the Avocado Green Pillow a little firmer than a 100% kapok pillow or down. The feel is more like a softer memory foam, only with much more breathability and better support. The Avocado Green Pillow is a top choice for any sleep position, with options to adjust the firmness and height to suit your needs. Avocado includes a bag of extra fill should you need to firm up the pillow. As a stomach-sleeper, I actually removed some fill and added it to the bag of spare fill. If you misplace the fill or need a refresh, Avocado offers refill packs (currently $21 and $28 for a half pound or a pound) of mixed kapok and shredded latex (view on Avocado). There was so much spare stuffing with my pillow that I’m considering getting an extra pillow encasement and making a spare toddler pillow. Standard: 19″ x 24″ - 3.4 lbs. Queen: 19″ x 28″ - 3.9 lbs.<br><br><br><br>King: 19″ x 35″ - 5.2 lbs. Because I [https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=removed removed] so much filling from my Avocado Green Pillow, it now weighs well under 3 lb. Still, this can feel a bit heavy to move around in the middle of the night. A pure kapok pillow, PLA pillow, or a down pillow, would be much lighter, though would require much more stuffing to achieve the same level of firmness and support. I’ve been sleeping on the Avocado Green Pillow for just over a year and it’s really grown on me. This pillow has kept my head cool and sweat-free during a heat wave, and it is super comfortable. The Avocado Green Pillow performs particularly well for side-sleeping and back-sleeping. I’ve found that the shredded latex molds to my head and neck for excellent medium-firm support without too much sinkage or too firm a feel. I also love that I can easily squash the pillow at the sides to get a little more height as needed during the night.<br><br><br><br>In my experience, the Naturepedic Organic Adjustable Latex Pillow offers much more support for side-sleepers than the Avocado Green Pillow. This larger, bouncier, more stuffed pillow doesn’t compress as much as is likely to be the better choice if you have a larger build or wider shoulders. Here are the two pillows side by side, with the Naturepedic PLA pillow for comparison, using an ad hoc compression test courtesy of a stack of my toddler’s books. Because I prefer to sleep on my stomach, I removed a lot of the fill initially included in the insert. I added this to the bag of extra stuffing for safekeeping. I still find the pillow a little too firm, though, but [https://www.savethestudent.org/?s=removing removing] more would make the pillow less adaptable for when I have to [https://interior01.netpro.co.kr:443/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=217 Derila Sleep Support] on my side or back because of a co-sleeping toddler. Once I’m no longer co-sleeping, I’ll likely remove even more fill, so I can fully luxuriate in stomach-sleeping. Or, I’ll just continue to use my amazing Turmerry Buckwheat Pillow (see on Turmerry), which I love for all sleep positions.<br><br><br><br>If you exclusively sleep on your stomach, you can probably remove around half the fill for a much softer, lower profile pillow. Or, because that’s a lot of spare fill going unused, consider getting the Avocado Mini Pillow instead! You may even want to choose the molded latex low profile pillow from Turmerry (see our review), for a smaller pillow footprint overall. Avocado’s Green Pillows are a little smaller than those of Rawganique and Savvy Rest,  [https://wiki.ragnarok-infinitezero.com.br/index.php?title=User:LeliaGilruth53 Derila Sleep Support] but these pillows come with much more stuffing and the option of refills (view on Avocado). They’re also smaller than Naturepedic’s Latex Pillow (view on Naturepedic) which also comes with a lot of extra stuffing, however. I love pretty much everything about the Avocado Green Pillow except for the zipper closure on the pillow insert. This jams far too easily and I was worried it would snap or tear the first time I unzipped the pillow.<br>
