Can recycled cotton be used as pillow filling?

Recycled cotton can be used as a filling material for pillows, especially in application scenarios that focus on environmental protection, cost control, and resource recycling. The following is a point by point introduction:
1、 The advantages of using recycled cotton for pillow filling
▸Strong environmental friendliness
Made from recycled cotton fibers to reduce waste of waste textiles
Beneficial for promoting the development of green homes and circular economy
▸Low cost
Compared to fillers such as polyester cotton and down, recycled cotton raw materials are more affordable in price
Suitable for pillows used in mid to low end home textile products or public welfare projects
▸Soft touch and even filling
After the opening and combing process, it has a certain degree of fluffiness and softness
Can form a relatively uniform support structure

2、 Issues to be noted when using
▸General elasticity and resilience
Regenerated cotton has poor resilience and may collapse and deform after a period of use
Not suitable for neck pillows and memory pillows that require high support
▸Limited breathability
If not handled properly, the breathability and moisture wicking ability may be slightly inferior to natural cotton or down
▸Easy to clump or collapse
If not fully opened or filled unevenly, it may cause clumping and unevenness inside the pillow
▸Cleanliness and safety depend on processes
It is necessary to use high-temperature disinfection, dust removal and other processes to ensure that there is no odor or harmful residue
Suggest choosing recycled cotton products certified according to environmental standards (such as GRS)
