One of my annual rites of spring is to replace any pillows that have overstayed their welcome in my home. They know who they are.

I’ve located a Big Box resource for my pillows. I’m normally not a Big Box user, but I will make an exception for this purchase. I’ve found some reasonably-priced pillows made from Ingeo, which literally means “ingredients from the earth.”
If you’re not familiar with Ingeo, it’s made from corn. First, sugar is extracted from the corn kernel. The sugar is then fermented and transformed into a high performance polymer and the Ingeo fiber is extracted. The remaining proteins, oils and fibers of the corn kernel remains can be used for livestock feed. But that’s another story.

I like this “greenhouse neutral” polymer — let me count the ways — Ingeo is made from a renewable natural resource, hypoallergenic, naturally antimicrobial, biodegradable and it does not retain moisture and odor — powerful stuff. Available @ target.com $20 – 25/ea depending on size, with Egyptian cotton cover; free shipping. Ahhh, the sweetest of dreams.
