Sleep & Sustainability go Hand in Hand with Obasan
Sleep is something I am starting to cherish more and more. I am not sure if it is because I have a baby (probably!) and I am always running around for work, but I know that a good night’s sleep contributes to my overall health. Did you know the average person spends about 26 years sleeping in their lifetime which equates to 9,490 days or 227,760 hours (thanks Google). That is a huge number! Our health is a priority so a good mattress and pillow should be a priority too to ensure we are getting the rest we need.
It is suggested that mattresses should be replaced every ten years and pillows every one to two (depending the brand). Most people think about getting a new mattress when the time comes, but how often do we think about our pillows? I am here to tell you your pillow is just as important as a mattress and it’s time to invest in one that lasts forever & made sustainably. I was introduced to Obasan by a friend and I am so happy I found them. They are a Canadian company that focuses on certified organic, ethically sourced, high quality, hand crafted mattresses & pillows*.

Obasan has created 5 distinct pillows that serve every sleeping style. Different pillows serve different purposes, it’s important to know what sort of support you need. I am a stomach and side sleeper and I recently injured my shoulder. I would wake up at 1 or 2am every night in pain because my shoulder had so much pressure on it. I have been using the Organic Shredded Rubber Pillow for almost a month now and it has given my shoulder the support it needs. I have stopped waking up in pain and I can honestly say this pillow has changed my overall health!
What is the shredded rubber pillow all about? Made right here in Canada, in Obasan’s GOTS & GOLS certified factory, using organic shredded rubber as the filling. They are wrapped in a 100% organic cotton cover. The pillow loft can be adjusted easily by unzipping the pillow core. The pillow filling is very manipulable to create different types of support. It can be adjusted to you and your sleep needs to alleviate pressure points. The outer casing/protector is 2 sided, one side finished in a denser organic cotton knit, for winter months, and the other with a light organic cotton knit for the warmer summer months. They are fully washable, completely breathable and will last forever!
A huge benefit to using organic rubber is that dust mites and mould are resistant naturally deterred by the rubber. Feel good about the materials you are sleeping on! Obasan believes that a good life starts with good nights. And good nights start with a bed that is organic, handmade, sustainable and always comfortable, including your pillow!
The organic shredded rubber pillow is perfect for children, teenagers, and adults. It is a wonderful gift idea this holiday season for yourself or a loved one. Obasan is offering The Purposeful You followers their Shredded Rubber Pillow (Queen Size) valued at $179 for only $99 + tax including shipping.
