Why Wool Instead of Synthetic?
Most toddler pillows are made with memory foam or polyester fill, which can off-gas chemicals, especially in the first few months. Wool is naturally non-toxic, so there's nothing to off-gas. It's also naturally flame resistant, meaning it doesn't need the chemical flame retardants that synthetic pillows require.
Naturally Hypoallergenic
Wool wicks moisture away from your child's skin and naturally resists dust mites, one of the most common allergens in children's bedding. Our organic cotton shell is grown without pesticides, and our virgin wool is sourced from Northwest farms and cleaned without chemicals.
Temperature Regulating
Wool keeps your toddler cool in summer and warm in winter. Unlike memory foam, which traps heat, wool fibers breathe and regulate temperature throughout the night.
The Right Size and Firmness
At 13x19 inches, this pillow is sized specifically for toddlers, not a cut-down adult pillow. It's firm enough to support a growing child without the suffocation risk of soft, shape-conforming memory foam. It also doubles as a travel pillow for trips.
Handmade in Idaho, USA
Every Woolshire pillow is handmade in northern Idaho using locally sourced Northwest wool and organic Texas cotton. 100% USA made and sourced.
Wash and Care
Unlike synthetic pillows which become filled with dust mites, wool is naturally resistant. However, if any accidents occur we recommend spot cleaning with an organic soap. If your pillow is completely soiled, you can wash on delicate or wool cycle with a full load of laundry (cold water only). Putting the pillow in the dryer will damage the wool so please hang dry.
You can occasionally refresh your pillow by placing it in the sun for 30 minutes at midday.
Organic Wool & Cotton
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.

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.
