Comments on: Is Your Child Ready for a Pillow?

I am totally leaning that way! I love that you are a Canadian company. Missy, I hope someone can answer your question better than I can. All of my research about old pillows led to the landfill. This is the same problem with mattresses, though the recycling hotline said there are a few places that will disect a mattress for the springs inside. (You have to live near a big city, though.) At least if we buy pillows that last up to ten years from now on we are doing our part. If you've got talent, you can make dog beds. Though some people say dogs chew up human pillows, which is why shelters won't take them. Thanks Kelley. I am totally leaning that way! I love that you are a Canadian company.
