★★★★★ 4.8 | 45 Reviews
Rest easier. A gentle slope on our Organic Latex Wedge Pillow delivers superior head, neck, or leg support while you sleep, read, or lounge. Our premium, natural GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex gives the wedge pillow breathable, comforting support. And the cover, made with ultra-durable, GOTS-certified organic cotton, promises a luxurious, plush feel. Available in 7-inch and 10-inch sizes.
Organic Dunlop Latex
Most bedding companies make their wedge pillows with polyurethane foam or synthetic gel memory foam. Not at Avocado. We craft our Organic Latex Wedge Pillow entirely from GOLS-certified organic and FSC (C156318) certified Dunlop latex that we source from organic rubber tree farms. Organic Dunlop latex provides best-in-class breathability, support, and durability — it’s also antimicrobial and bacteria-resistant. Even better, we process our latex in organic-certified facilities that are held to stringent standards.
Breathable Cotton
We stitch our eco-friendly cover with GOTS-certified organic cotton. Inside, a breathable organic cotton liner keeps dust mites at bay. The layers wick away moisture better than anything synthetic. Organic cotton isn’t just a higher-functioning material. Our GOTS-certified organic cotton is held to a stricter environmental and social standard.
Easy To Clean, Removable Cover
The pillow’s organic cotton cover features an easy-to-use zipper, making it simple to remove and wash. The organic materials also make it more resilient than plastic or silicone, so it’ll stand up to regular washes and inevitable stains and spills. Machine wash the cover in cold water and lay flat or hang to dry.
How To Use Our Wedge Pillow
Wedge pillows have so many practical uses! Elevate your head while you sleep to reduce snoring, acid reflux, sleep apnea, and congestion. Alleviate neck and back pain when sleeping or sitting to read. Support your laptop while you work. Or, prop your legs up to reduce swelling and improve circulation.

GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton
For a luxurious and premium finish, we use a soft, durable GOTS-certified organic cotton cover and inner liner. This durable textile provides an ideal exterior to our Organic Latex Wedge Pillow. Our organic cotton has received STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®: Class 1 certification (15.HIN.75800, Hohenstein HTTI) to screen for harmful substances as a result of processing, including banned substances, toxic chemicals, pesticides, and dyes. Even the green thread used in the stitching and logo embroidery is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified (94.0.6007, Hohenstein HTTI).
GOLS-Certified Organic Latex
We use GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex in our wedges. We do not use polyurethane foam, a petrochemical product. We own GOLS-certified organic latex from co-owned farmer's societies and processing facilities in India and Guatemala, operating under the USDA's National Organic Program. It's made with ≥95% certified organic latex, the highest possible standard. Dunlop latex is naturally antimicrobial and cool, due to its natural open cell structure. It is processed in a GOLS-certfied organic facility in India that we also co-own.
No Chemical Flame Retardants
The Avocado Organic Latex Wedge Pillow contains no chemical flame retardants, which are known to release VOCs and impact human health. (FYI: Pillows are not required to pass the Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads, issued by the CPSC. Therefore, it is logical that ignition sources should be kept safely away from any pillow that contains natural materials without the use of chemical flame retardants.)
Care
Machine wash your cotton cover in cold water with an eco-friendly laundry detergent. Lay flat or hang to dry. Do not use bleach. Allow to dry completely before putting the cover back on your pillow.
