We only use the best materials sourced through specialist NZ businesses.
"New Zealand's Pillow" is handcrafted from these local and imported materials:
- Japara cotton
- NZ farmed and refined 'Cloud' wool
- YKK invisible zip
- Spun polyester thread
- Recycled polyester ribbon label
- Calico cotton - drawstring bag
DO NOT machine wash the Cloud Wool Pillow.
We recommend removing the wool fill and washing the pillow casing as you would with any other white, cotton laundry. Washing in cold water will ensure no shrinkage.
Whilst the wool is out of the cover, take advantage of letting it breathe and catching some sun. Wool loves the sun as much as it loves the fresh NZ air. The rays will naturally deodorize, disinfect, and renew your bedding.
Alternatively, you can hand wash them in warm water with a wool detergent and let them drip dry.
You might notice a slight scent. It is actually proof the natural 'Cloud' wool is as pure as possible, and this will air out in time or sooner if you remove the fill and allow to breathe in the sunlight.
During product testing, we thought this feedback summed up the scent nicely "faint smell of a clean, healthy, warm barn... making for a healthy and loving feel to it.’’
Use the included lavender pack if desired.
Kind Face™ products might have small imperfections due to the nature of being 100% handmade.
Firmness guide: Medium to Firm. Remember, you can easily adjust the comfort level by removing or adding wool fill. Give the pillow a good shake and fluff up to rebalance the fill.
Approx 14cm high when filled, with light pressure applied.

better sleep
Wool provides temperature regulation creating a stable microclimate and the ultimate support to help you have the best sleep ever.
japara cotton
The pillow casing is made from premium Japara cotton, a finely woven yet breathable and durable fabric. We believe it is the best option to ensure you get a long life from your pillow.
hypoallergenic
Wool fibres are covered in scales that trap dust, mould spores and other harmful allergens, removing them from the air and preventing them from being inhaled.
support local
The NZ 'Cloud' wool comes from Wisewool in Gisborne, where both the sheep and the environment are happy and healthy. Every pillow is hand-stitched and filled in our workroom in Avondale.
We believe in evolution, not more pollution
-
The ‘Evolution’ in our wool pillows is thanks to the legends at Wisewool in Gisborne.
They are responsible for taking their beautiful Tairāwhiti sourced wool from a raw fibre through to the luxurious Cloud fill. This includes innovative mechanical engineering which enhances the resilience and bounce whilst protecting the natural fibre's unique, organic state.
You can see the process for yourself on the Wisewool website - from where the wool starts in a shearing shed through to arriving at our workroom.
personalise "New Zealand's Pillow"
The pillows are easily adjustable, making them compatible with every sleeping position - and there is nothing to hide unlike synthetic and feather fills. Just open the zipper to shape, remove or add Cloud wool as desired. Enjoy.

Why Choose The Linen Draught Stopper?
Looks good, feels good
We experience our world through our senses and not only will our draught stoppers look good in your home (or workplace), they are tactile and feel so good to touch.
The things we feel with our hands can remind us of things we feel in our hearts, textures and feelings have a lot in common. As humans, we need, even crave, tangible, physical interactions with things around us. The natural texture of the door stops provides that connection, enabling a deeper sensory experience - which has to be positive for our wellbeing,
Texture also has this magic ability to let objects ‘speak’ to us. Our sense of touch is deeply rooted in memory, eliciting nostalgic sensations from childhood and other precious moments, thus triggering the emotions we felt in the past.
A healthier home
Draught proofing stops warm air from escaping your home in winter and hot air from entering in summer, saving you money and making your home more comfortable.
They can also help to reduce noise pollution from outside your home by acting as an extra barrier between your home and the outdoors, blocking out noise from traffic and other sources.
A kinder way of doing business
Our mission is to craft premium pillows, eye masks, duvets, and other essentials that help people sleep and live better.
Equal to this is being kind to people and planet - our makers, our suppliers, our community and our beautiful country shapes everything we do.

Our Materials
Stonewashed Linen
Stonewashed linen is a luxurious and versatile textile known for its exceptional softness and unique texture. Its remarkable breathability and moisture-wicking properties ensure comfort in various climates, while its durability guarantees long-lasting use.
Our Turkish stonewashed linen has been awarded the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certificate - this means it is completely free from harmful chemicals and safe for human use. To attain Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, the fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances known to be harmful to human health.
NZ Grown Flaxseed
These small, smooth seeds are grown in the Canterbury region and offer a unique blend of tactile comfort and gentle pressure. Their pliable nature conforms seamlessly to the contours of your face, providing a soothing and therapeutic sensation.
You might know the seed as 'Linseed' - Flaxseed and Linseed are the exact same thing. Confusion around these two names stems from the two big English-speaking countries. In the UK, they alternate between linseed and flaxseed, while in the United States and Canada, both are referred to as flaxseed. We choose to call them flaxseed.
Dried Lavender Flowers
Use of lavender dates back centuries as a natural remedy for promoting restful nights and reducing sleep-related woes. Our carefully crafted range harnesses the calming essence of lavender to promote relaxation, helping you drift into a peaceful night's sleep while alleviating stress and anxiety.
We try to source 100% of our dried lavender flowers from NZ growers but have to supplement this with imported lavender sourced through a New Zealand natural ingredients specialist.
