This cotton pillow is exactly what it sounds like — the cover and the fill inside it are both 100% cotton, not just the outer fabric. That's a genuinely complete, natural construction built to suit side, back, and stomach sleepers alike, thanks to its balanced medium loft. Every pillow is Oeko-Tex certified, independently tested against harmful substances to a recognised global textile standard. It's priced at €20.
Most pillows sold as "cotton pillows" only use cotton for the outer cover — the filling itself is usually hollowfibre, polyester, or feather and down. This pillow is built differently: both the cover (100% cotton, woven) and the fill (100% cotton, 800g) are genuinely cotton, so the softness on the outside and the support from the inside come from the same natural material.
Compared with our Bamboo Pillow (20% bamboo fibre, 80% siliconised polyester fibre, higher loft, built specifically for side and back sleepers), this pillow's 100% cotton fill gives it a medium loft that suits side, back, and stomach sleepers alike. There's a real trade-off worth knowing: because the fill is 100% natural cotton, only the cover is washable — the pillow as a whole shouldn't go in the washing machine, whereas the Bamboo Pillow's synthetic-blend fill lets the entire pillow be washed as one unit.
As a plain cotton pillow with no pattern or colour options, this one is designed to sit inside your own pillowcase rather than be seen on its own, so it fits any bedroom styling without needing to match anything. Its medium loft makes it a reasonable middle ground if you're setting up a bed with mixed sleeper types, since it isn't as flat as a low loft pillow or as firm as a higher support one. It works equally well as a spare or guest room pillow given how straightforward it is to pair with existing bedding.
Delivery
Expect delivery within 2–4 business days across Ireland. Delivery costs €8.99 unless your order reaches Interio's €250 free-delivery threshold — at €20 on its own, this pillow won't reach that threshold alone.
Covered by the standard two-year statutory guarantee of conformity under Irish and EU consumer law. As a bedding item, it can't be returned once opened for a simple change of mind, for hygiene reasons — if it arrives faulty, that's fully covered.
Care Instructions
Cover: Washable on its own.
Whole pillow: Not recommended for machine washing as a whole — the 100% natural cotton fill is dense and can compact and take a very long time to dry if fully soaked. Wash the cover on its own for best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are 100% cotton pillows good?
This one is, for a specific reason: both the cover and the fill are 100% cotton, rather than the more common construction of a cotton-look cover hiding a synthetic or feather filling. The honest trade-off is care — a fully natural cotton fill shouldn't be machine washed as a whole pillow, so only the cover gets washed rather than the entire thing going in the machine.
Are cotton pillows good for you?
Cotton is naturally breathable, which helps regulate temperature overnight. But "cotton pillow" doesn't automatically mean the filling is cotton too — plenty use that name for a cotton cover wrapped around a different filling. This pillow is 100% cotton throughout, Oeko-Tex certified, and built with a medium loft that doesn't specialise for just one sleeping position.
Can you buy 100% cotton pillows?
Yes, and this is one of them. Both the cover (100% cotton, woven) and the 800g fill are genuinely cotton — not a blend, and not a cotton-look cover hiding a different filling underneath. The trade-off with a fully natural fill like this one is care: the cover is washable, but the whole pillow isn't recommended for machine washing.
What is the best cotton pillow?
There's no single "best" — it depends on whether the cover and the fill are both genuinely cotton, whether the loft suits how you sleep, and whether it carries real, checkable certification. This pillow meets all three for side, back, and stomach sleepers specifically — 100% cotton cover and fill, a medium loft, and Oeko-Tex certification.
How do I wash this pillow?
The cover is machine washable on its own, but the whole pillow isn't recommended for a full wash cycle since a genuine cotton fill holds moisture and can take a very long time to dry out fully. Remove the cover, wash it separately following the label, and let it dry completely before putting it back on. For the pillow itself, spot cleaning or airing it outdoors on a dry day is the safer option between cover washes.
