The Classic Organic Wool Pillow
Very Firm - Stomach and Side Sleepers
The Classic Organic Wool Pillow is a natural sleep pillow filled with certified organic wool fibers, prized for their breathability, temperature regulation, and firm, supportive feel. Designed for sleepers who need substantial neck support without overheating, this pillow delivers stable comfort night after night.
It features a 100% organic wool fiber fill encased in a natural cotton shell. The extra-firm construction makes it especially well suited for stomach and side sleepers who prefer consistent support.
Wool naturally wicks moisture and helps regulate body temperature, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. Like all natural fibers, wool may compress over time and requires regular care to maintain its loft. By following the recommended care instructions, you can preserve the texture and comfort of your wool pillow for years to come.
Hypoallergenic and naturally resistant to dust mites without the use of chemical treatments, this pillow is handcrafted in Canada using traditional methods and traceable organic materials.
Ideal For
Ideal For
This extra-firm organic wool pillow is designed for sleepers who need stable support, natural breathability, and a chemical-free sleep surface.
- Stomach and side sleepers. The extra-firm support maintains proper cervical alignment throughout the night. The knops wool fill naturally conforms to the space between your shoulder and head without flattening, helping reduce morning tension and stiffness. An excellent complement to a custom organic mattress.
- Allergy-sensitive sleepers. Wool is naturally hypoallergenic. The lanolin present in wool fibers repels dust mites and inhibits bacterial growth without added chemical treatments. This organic wool pillow offers a healthy alternative to synthetic fills, ideal for those sensitive to artificial materials or down.
- Hot sleepers and those with night sweats. Wool fibers can absorb up to 30% of their weight in moisture without feeling damp, then gradually release it into the air. This natural temperature regulation keeps the sleep surface cool and dry, even during warm nights or for those prone to sweating.
- Teens and young adults. Made from 100% natural materials, with no flame retardants or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), this wool pillow provides a safe and healthy sleep environment. It’s well suited for teen bedrooms and integrates naturally with our collection of wool pillows and natural bedding.

Why this is one of the best organic wool pillows
The Obasan Classic Organic Wool Pillow combines extra-firm support, natural breathability, and long-lasting durability, making it one of the top choices among organic wool pillows.
Filled with organic wool, this pillow offers firm support, excellent airflow, and a longer lifespan than most synthetic alternatives, all without chemical additives. What truly sets it apart is how the wool is processed: the natural fibers are crafted to retain their firmness over time while adapting to your movements and wicking away moisture throughout the night.
Handcrafted in Canada to the same high standards as all Obasan bedding, this pillow is designed to be durable, responsible, and repairable. With care, it maintains its supportive comfort for years, well beyond the typical lifespan of a synthetic pillow. By combining high-quality natural materials with traditional craftsmanship, Obasan delivers a pillow that is breathable, resilient, and built to last.
Care Instructions for the Organic Wool Pillow
The organic wool pillow requires minimal maintenance thanks to the natural properties of wool. Wool fibers naturally wick moisture and resist odors, making frequent washing unnecessary.
- Regular airing: Air your pillow outdoors for a few hours, two to three times per year, ideally on a dry, sunny day. This simple step refreshes the fibers and helps maintain their natural qualities.
- Spot cleaning: For small stains, gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid saturating the filling.
- Maintaining loft: Over time, wool can compress. To restore volume, place the pillow in the dryer with two tennis balls on the air-only or lowest heat setting. This helps fluff the fibers and brings back optimal comfort.
- What to avoid: Never machine wash, use hot water, or put the pillow in the dryer on high heat. Excessive heat can felt the wool fibers and permanently damage the filling. Always allow the pillow to air dry indoors, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an organic wool pillow good for allergies?
Yes. Wool naturally contains lanolin, a substance that repels dust mites and inhibits bacterial growth. Unlike synthetic pillows that often require chemical treatments, an organic wool pillow is hypoallergenic by nature. It's a suitable choice for those sensitive to artificial fills or down feathers.
Will a wool pillow make you hot at night?
No. Wool is naturally temperature-regulating: it keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter. During warm periods, the fibers wick body moisture and create a natural cooling effect through evaporation. In winter, they trap warm air close to your body. This dual action explains why wool has been used in bedding for thousands of years.
How long does a wool pillow last?
A quality wool pillow lasts 5 to 10 years with proper care, 3 to 5 times longer than a standard synthetic pillow. Wool retains its loft and natural properties for many years. Our 3-year warranty covers manufacturing and material defects.
What’s the difference between a wool pillow and a latex pillow?
A wool pillow provides firm comfort and excellent moisture management, while a latex pillow offers a bouncier, more elastic support. Both are hypoallergenic and durable.
The choice depends on your preference: choose wool for a firm, supportive feel, or latex for a more responsive, resilient sleep surface.
Looking for a latex pillow for your child? Obasan also offers a bio latex pillow specially designed for kids.
Can I machine wash my wool pillow?
No, machine washing is not recommended, and the filling should never get soaked. Wool doesn’t respond well to water or heat: too much moisture or agitation can cause the fibers to felt, permanently compressing the pillow.
Instead, simply air your pillow regularly to keep it fresh. For small stains, gently spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Never use a dryer. Always let the pillow dry naturally indoors, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Is a wool pillow suitable for children?
Yes, children for teens and young adults. Organic wool is free of chemical flame retardants and does not emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it a healthy choice for a child’s bedroom. For children under 2 years old, always consult a healthcare professional before using any pillow.
Why buy a pillow made in Canada?
A Canadian-made pillow ensures high quality standards and full traceability of materials. Shorter supply chains reduce the carbon footprint of transportation. At Obasan, every pillow is handcrafted in our Canadian workshops with the same artisanal expertise we apply to our organic mattresses.
