We don’t just like sleep; we need sleep. As a wise person once said, “If you think sleep is a luxury, try going without it.” Sleep clears away the stress of the day, boosts your memory, increases your immunity, and allows you to wake up well-rested and happy again. What happens when this isn’t the case, though? What do you do if you find yourself waking up feeling more ill and unhappy than you were when you laid down? If this is happening to you, and you’re waking up with watery eyes, sneezing, and experiencing other allergy symptoms, the problem could be that you’re spending eight hours a night on a bad pillow. Yes, it is possible for your pillow to cause your allergies to flare up!
What is a Hypoallergenic Pillow?
You can imagine how damaging it is to your health to put your face right on something that is causing your allergies to flare up. The term “Hypoallergenic” made from materials that are resistant to these allergens, including latex, gels, means that a product is less likely to trigger allergies. Hypoallergenic pillows are and memory foam. You'll want to look at pillows that deter dust mites and offer a good level of breathability.
