6 Benefits of Alpaca Pillows

If you haven’t yet experienced the difference, this post will help you understand why alpaca pillows are a quiet luxury your body and the planet will thank you for.

1. Naturally Hypoallergenic

Alpaca fiber doesn’t contain lanolin. This means it’s naturally hypoallergenic, ideal for people with sensitive skin or allergies. No sneezing, no irritation—just pure comfort.

2. Temperature Regulating

Alpaca fiber has a unique hollow-core structure that allows it to regulate temperature far better than most other natural or synthetic materials. Your pillow stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, giving you better sleep year-round.

3. Moisture-Wicking and Breathable

Alpaca fiber wicks away moisture without absorbing it, keeping your pillow dry and fresh throughout the night. This makes it a great option for those who tend to overheat or sweat while sleeping.

4. Sustainable and Ethical

Alpacas are gentle grazers, requiring less water and resources than other animals. Our pillows are filled with responsibly sourced alpaca fiber, supporting small-scale Andean farmers and ensuring ethical treatment of the animals.

5. Supportive, Yet Soft

Alpaca pillows offer a unique balance: they’re firm enough to support your neck and head, but soft enough to feel like a cloud. Ideal for side and back sleepers, and for anyone looking to improve posture and relaxation.

6. No Microplastics, No Chemicals

We never use synthetic blends or chemical treatments. That means no microplastics in your bed—or in our oceans.
