If you wake up with watery eyes, stuffy nose, headache, and sneezing — blame it on dust mites present in your pillow. Dust mites can cause restless sleep and allergy symptoms. And your pillows can take in several allergens such as dust mites, pet dander and mold — thus causing allergies.
To overcome this problem, you can buy an allergy pillow cover. An allergy pillow cover acts as a shield and prevents the entry of allergens, and can reduce your allergies.
How Does an Allergy Pillow cover Work?
The allergy pillow cover is made of a special material which can block the tiny allergens. It has tiny pores (of 3 to 6 microns), which can block the entry of allergens. To use the allergy pillow cover, all you would have to do is to zip the allergy pillow cover over your pillow. This can protect you from dust mite allergy.
Dust mites affect about 10% of American population. Their size is of 10 microns and they survive eating human skin flakes. They usually reside in the bedding and their corpses, feces are responsible for triggering allergies.
Benefits of Using an Allergy Pillow Cover:
An allergy pillow cover can protect you from dust mite and other allergies. All you would have to do is to zip the cover over your pillow. You can now use a normal cover over the pillow or leave it as it is. Using an allergy pillow cover can help you to sleep properly and wake up without congestion, watery eyes and other allergy symptoms.
Allergy pillows are washable. They cost around $10 to $20 and are a good investment considering the protection they offer. So, if you suspect dust mites are disturbing your sound sleep, get yourself allergy pillow covers.
