Many people have two pairs of pillows on their bed. When you have four pillows, do you get all of the same kind or mix and match? When pairing pillows, it's helpful to consider the specific needs, preferences, and sleeping styles of those using them. The following are three creative pairings of our various pillow types.

Primary Pillows (for sleeping): Luxury Organic Plush Pillow and Avocado Green Pillow. These could provide a nice balance between firmness and plushness, catering to most sleeping positions. The Luxury Organic Pillow offers a softer, plusher feel, ideal for side sleepers, while the Avocado Green Pillow's adjustability can cater to back or stomach sleepers. This pairing ensures a range of firmness within reach, accommodating changes in preference or needs over time.

Secondary Pillows (for decoration or additional support): Avocado Molded Latex Pillow and Avocado Down Pillow. The Molded Latex Pillow could offer a firmer, supportive option that keeps its shape, while the Down Pillow adds a layer of softness and luxury, perfect for those who want an extra plush feel. This combination adds aesthetic appeal and functional versatility.

Latex Pillows for Support and Breathability: Avocado Molded Latex Pillow and Luxury Organic Plush Pillow. Pairing these two focuses on the benefits of latex—durability, breathability, and a balance between support and softness. The Molded Latex Pillow provides a stable, odor-resistant option, while the Luxury Organic Plush Pillow adds a softer, plusher layer for comfort.

Organic and Eco-Conscious Choices: Avocado Green Pillow, Avocado Molded Latex Pillow or Luxury Organic Plush Pillow. For those prioritizing eco-friendliness and organic materials, pairing the adjustable Avocado Green Pillow with either latex option emphasizes sustainability without sacrificing comfort. This choice supports various sleeping styles while staying environmentally conscious.

Vegan and Organic: Avocado Green Pillow and Avocado Molded Latex Pillow. This pairing caters to those who prioritize vegan and organic products. Both pillows are certified vegan, offering peace of mind to ethically concerned sleepers. The adjustable fill of the Avocado Green Pillow combined with the moisture-wicking, odor-eliminating properties of the Molded Latex Pillow ensures both comfort and conscience are addressed.

Luxury and Softness: Luxury Organic Pillow and Avocado Down Pillow. For those who prioritize the feel and luxury over material concerns, pairing the plush Talalay latex core pillow with the soft and luxurious down pillow provides unmatched softness and comfort. This combination caters to a premium sleep experience, though it steps away from the vegan lifestyle preference.

Additionally, Avocado's Green Pillow has an option with a curved bottom are specifically designed to contour to a side sleeper's neck and shoulder area, enhancing comfort and support.

Placing a pillow between your legs when sleeping, especially on your side, helps maintain proper alignment of the hips, pelvis, and spine. This can relieve pressure and prevent the upper leg from pulling your spine out of alignment, reducing strain on your back and hips. It can also improve circulation and reduce discomfort for those with sciatica or lower back pain.  

A non-toxic pillow is made from materials free from harmful chemicals and synthetic substances that could release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other irritants. These pillows typically use natural or organic fibers like organic cotton, wool, kapok fiber, down, or latex and avoid treatments with flame retardants, pesticides, or chemical dyes. Non-toxic pillows are ideal for individuals with allergies, sensitivities or anyone seeking a healthier sleeping environment. Certifications to look for include the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Greenguard Gold, and Made Safe.
