Are niche pillows and cases worth it?
(leminal.space)
The picture I linked is of a buckwheat pillow. Had no idea they were a thing before today.
What about silk or bamboo pillow cases?
I've only ever really used cotton pillow cases and cotton stuffed pillows. I recently upgraded to a foam pillow that I'm enjoying.
Well, my fav is Aloa Vera filling. But I didn't had much pillows to experience like you both.
Especially when being a guest, I don't know what kind of filling the pillow has.
See, that's what I wanted to say. I had no idea such a thing existed - you learn something new every day. From what I just read now it's a synthetic gel core with a polyester case that has somehow been coated with Aloe Vera extract?
Is that what you are referring to? If so, I'd definitely like to try the gel core, but I'm not at all convinced as far as the case is concerned - the coating would wash out anyway, and I hate Polyester with a passion.
Taking out the gel core and replacing the case with cotton or linen is something that would I try though.
No, the pillow says Aloa Vera Microfiber.
Edit: Ah fuck. I see that the filling is Polyester. It had a big writing on it with "Aloa Vera Microfiber Pillow"... but thats only whats covering the Polyester...
I guess I like it simple and flat?
You'll be even more disappointed when you find out that "Aloe Vera Microfiber" is indeed coated polyester, with a few percent of Aloe Vera extract:

Honestl, I'm equally disappointed - I was keen to learn about a previously unknown fiber.
