The Gametime Pillow addresses sustainability with its materials, process, and detail. The thought that has gone into every inch of this product provides it with a deep level of value and connection to the user. Let's dive into its important details and contents.
STUFFING
Each pillow is stuffed with recycled stuffing from the Cincinnati based non-profit, InReturn. InReturn works hand in hand with One Resource, a sustainability company that gives new life to materials that would otherwise have been thrown out, while employing people who suffer from neurological disorders, diseases, and injuries. The stuffing itself is made of cellulose and polyethylene-terephthalate. It sits inside a reclaimed satin pillow case cover that was hand-cut and machine sewn together.
COVER
The pillow covers are made of reclaimed sample Rawlings baseball jersey fabric (140 cloth- 93% polyester, 7% spandex) OR reclaimed sample Rawlings football jersey fabric (100% polyester) that are hand-cut to the standardized 24-inch-length and 20-Inch-width for circumference. The fabric is then machine-sewn together to create the pillow's cylinder shape.
SIDES
The pillow sides are made of reclaimed sample Rawlings baseball hides OR football hides that have been hand-cut to the standardized 6.37-inch-diameter circle shape. The ball hide circles are then hand-sewn together using 100% polyester thread to create a sports ball stitch.
ZIPPER
Each pillow features a 14-inch nylon zipper along the length of the cover so that the pillow cover can be easily opened, and the stuffing insert can be removed to turn the pillow into its stylish bag form.
STRAP
Each pillow features a strap made of Rawling's jersey fabric to match or compliment the cover fabric. The strap covers the zipper of the pillow for aesthetic and can be used as an arm strap to carry the cover in its bag form.
TAG
Finally, the pillows have a branded sports ball tag. The tags are made of reclaimed Rawling's baseball OR football hides that have been hand-cut and machine-sewn to the pillow cover. One side of the tag features an ironed-on vinyl Cricut cut Winter Market logo, and the other side features the laser engraved "Gametime Pillow" logo. With this tag, consumers will always remember where their pillow came from and the story behind the product.
