    Those pillows look like fake velvet microplastic fiber in that shot. If so, please consider switching your bedsheets and pillowcases out for natural fibers like cotton, hemp, or linen. Breathing in those fibers isn’t good for you or your cats.

      At the time we were using suede pillowcases, I believe. We have since switched to silk.

      That being said it’s all but impossible to avoid microplastics in attire. 100% cotton clothes are rare to come by, are expensive, and hard to wash and dry. Wool is all of the above with the addition of being itchy. All couches have carcinogenic fire retardants; all chicken is bathed in chlorine.
