Most pillows and sheets are 100% polyester, a synthetic plastic that Sol Brah says disrupts hormones during eight hours of nightly sleep. He recommends switching to organic cotton sheets and wool-filled pillows like Woolshire, which he claims breathe better and improve sleep quality.
100% polyester. 100% polyester. This is what most pillows are made out of, unfortunately, as well as our bedsheets. Why do we not want to be sleeping in polyester? Well, It is plastic. It's a synthetic material that can affect your hormones. And if you're sleeping in your bed for 8 hours a night in plastic, that's not a good time. That is why I only use 100% organic cotton with wool filling. This one is from the Woolshire that I travel with to get my sweet dreams on the road. But really check out what you're sleeping in because it is important. You can get 100% cotton sheets that'll not only feel better, they'll breathe better, you'll sleep better, and you'll be healthier because of it. So get rid of your polyester sheets!
