Best Answer

It would depend on the compost method. [1] It could breakdown in a matter of days in a commercial or municipal composter. [2] It could breakdown faster, in non-commercial and non-municipal composting methods, if cut into smaller pieces. But, no matter what, it would need the careful attention to moisture and heat levels. And it would need more frequent turning. If proper composting procedure is followed, then it's supposed to take no more than a year for compostable materials to break down into compost. [3] Breakdown would be slowed if the cotton batting wasn't 100% organic.

Are pillows considered recyclable?

Cotton- or even silk-covered pillows filled with feathers or cotton waste are bio-degradable, that is, they could go in a compost bin or a worm farm, or they would decompose in landfill. Most other pillows would have some plastic, rubber, artificial sponge or polyester and would not bio-degrade. No-one would want to recycle them, that is, take them apart and use them again.
