Description

The Woolshire Toddler Pillow is a pure virgin wool pillow with an organic cotton shell, sized at 13" × 19" specifically for toddlers, not a cut-down adult pillow. Handmade in northern Idaho from wool sourced from Idaho ranchers and others across the western US, then milled at our own facility on vintage American equipment. It also doubles as a travel pillow when your family is on the road.

Most toddler pillows are made with memory foam or polyester fill, which can off-gas chemicals, especially in the first few months. We built this pillow for parents who want a non-toxic toddler pillow that won't bring flame retardants or synthetic materials into their child's bed. Wool is naturally flame-resistant, so it doesn't need the chemical treatments that foam and polyester require by law.

What makes wool different

  • Naturally hypoallergenic and mold-resistant
  • Temperature-regulating: cool in summer, warm in winter
  • Wicks moisture away from your child's skin
  • Resists dust mites, one of the most common allergens in children's bedding
  • Breathable and durable for years of use

We overstuff each pillow initially to account for natural wool compression over time. The result is a pillow that holds its shape and support as your toddler grows.

Toddler pillows are final sale.

Care Instructions

Wool pillows almost never need a full wash. A clean pillowcase, the occasional spot clean, and a sunny afternoon every few months handle most of it.

Spot clean with cold water and a wool-safe detergent.

Sun-air the whole pillow every month or two to freshen it.

Hand-fluff daily to maintain loft.

Never machine wash and never tumble dry. Both cause felting.

For a full wash or deep cleaning, follow our complete guide: How to Wash a Wool Pillow.

Sleep As Nature Intended

Natural Virgin Wool

Woolshire pillows were built as nature into them. When you lay on wool you are connecting your sleep to nature. They have no chemical gases, unlike memory foam and polyfill pillows.

Our pillows trace their roots back to how our ancestors slept. In a world of cheap, mass-produced, and synthetically made products, the Woolshire Pillow is a champion of a bygone era, a champion of quality. At The Woolshire we reject the plastic mindset, no chemical baths, no micro-plastic shedding, fashioned and crafted by a family of artisans.

Here are some of the awesome properties of wool pillows:

HYPOALLERGENIC

Like our adult wool pillow, our toddler pillow is naturally hypoallergenic. Our pillow shells are made from 100% organic Texas cotton and the fill is Northwest virgin wool. These pillows are ideal for toddlers who have allergies or are irritated by synthetic materials. 

Because our pillows are made from wool they easily wick moisture and are dust mite resistant (a common allergen). Experience a allergy-free sleep with our Woolshire toddler pillow.

NO POLYESTER EVER

Many pillows contain polyester in one form or another, either for their shells or for their filling. Polyester does not absorb sweat or breath. What’s worse is polyester is often treated with flame retardants or other harmful chemicals. 


Instead, our toddler pillows are 100% virgin wool and natural cotton. We strive to make our toddler pillows the healthiest possible.

Toddler Pillow Common Questions

What Age Can A Toddler Have A Pillow?

Toddler pillows aren’t recommended for children under two. For children under two, there is a greater risk of suffocation with the additional material in their bed. However, your toddler's development and size will be a large factor in determining when it’s appropriate to purchase a toddler pillow. 

What Pillow Material Is Best For A Toddler?

Natural materials are better for a toddler's growing brain. Memory foam and other synthetic pillows can “off gas” especially during the first couple of months after purchase and those gases are harmful to toddlers. Furthermore, memory foam should be avoided because it poses a greater suffocation risk. 

What Pillow Firmness Is Best For Toddlers?

A reasonably firm pillow is better when choosing a pillow for your toddler. A pillow that doesn’t retain its shape can pose a greater suffocation risk. 

Does My Toddler Need A Pillow?

Not necessarily. Every toddler is different. But if your toddler is older than 2 years old and is having trouble sleeping you could try introducing a toddler pillow to see if it helps. If they are having trouble sleeping or are having neck pain, these might be signs they need a toddler pillow.
