Benefits of Our Huacaya Alpaca Pillow

Did you know that Alpaca fiber is softer than cashmere?

The structure of the alpaca fiber allows for moisture wicking and temperature regulation to help keep you safe and comfortable for a good night’s sleep.

• Alpaca pillows are hypoallergenic and all-natural, which is excellent for anyone with allergies.
• The fiber produced by alpacas has a hollow core that deters dust mites, the leading cause of allergies and asthma in the bedroom.
• Alpaca fleece also contains no lanolin or grease, unlike sheep’s wool.

FAQ

Are alpaca pillows good?

We certainly believe so. Alpaca fleece is estimated to be 30% warmer than the wool from most sheep breeds. Alpaca wool is lighter, stronger, and more resilient than wool. It’s also great for anyone looking for a hypoallergenic pillow, as alpaca fleece does not contain lanolin or grease like the wool from sheep.

Is alpaca wool suitable for pillows?

Alpaca wool is softer than Cashmere and has superb moisture-wicking and thermal regulation to keep you comfortable. This combination helps you experience better sleep. We encourage you to invest in our Alpaca pillow if you have allergies.

Can you wash an alpaca pillow?

Do not wash or use warm water on your Alpaca pillow. We recommend placing your pillow in the sunshine for a few hours.

What is better, wool or alpaca?

Alpaca has advantages over wool because it does not contain lanolin or freeze like wool. It offers extra hollow space in the fiber for greater thermal capacity, allowing warm air to fill the textile.

What is the difference between Huacaya and Suri alpacas?

Suri alpacas are rarer and more expensive, producing longer cylindrical locks resembling dreadlocks. Huacaya alpacas are more affordable and create crimpy, dense, curly, and softer wool for pillows.
