Grown and prepared in the UK, this premium barley straw offers superior warmth and nesting comfort while remaining wonderfully gentle on paws and skin.

Pillow Wad carefully cuts and dust‑extracts their straw to help maintain a cleaner, healthier environment for your pets. Its naturally hollow fibers provide excellent insulation, making it an ideal bedding choice all year round: warm in winter, breathable in summer!

Whether used as bedding, nesting material, or a fun foraging addition to the enclosure, Pillow Wad Barley Straw is a dependable, natural choice for keeping your pets happy, healthy, and comfortable.

Product benefits:
  • Dust‑Extracted for Cleaner Habitats: Helps reduce airborne particles and supports better respiratory health.
  • Perfect for Rabbits, Guinea Pigs & Small Animals: Safe, natural, and great for enrichment.
  • Long Straw Strands: Full of nutrients to support dental health.
  • Soft & Comfortable: Ideal for nests, bedding areas, and cosy hideaways.
  • UK‑Grown & Prepared: Produced by Pillow Wad all year round with high welfare and sustainability in mind.
  • Naturally Insulating: Keeps pets warm in cooler months while staying breathable in warmer conditions.

Pillow Wad Barley Straw is 100% biodegradable including the outer bag! However, this may be supplied in standard plastic wrap, depending on the availability of bio-wrap - but still contains the same lovely straw inside! If you have any queries on this, please get in touch

Please note that although this straw is branded as being 'unchopped', it is mechanically cut to a chop length that facilitates automatic bagging. If you require a longer straw length, we'd recommend Deans Straw.

Available in Handy (1kg), Large (2kg) and Maxi (3kg) packs
