Researcher studies the impact of pillows on allergies

Ashley Woodcock, professor at England's University of Manchester, conducted research on synthetic and feather pillows and found that both contain Gaiam.com, Inc
an ecosystem of dust mites and fungi, suggesting a possible source of allergens for those suffering from nighttime respiratory complications.

Summary:.

  • The American College of Allergy, Asthmaand Immunology estimates that some 10 percent of Americans have fungal sensitivity.
  • Wash your pillow cover every time you wash your sheets.
  • If the instructions say machine-drying is recommended, use a low setting until completely dry.
  • The purpose of a pillow is twofold: to provide comfort and to keep your neck and spine aligned while you sleep.
  • Side sleepers should make sure the height of the pillow is roughly the same as the length of their shoulders (the distance between the base of the neck and the end of the shoulder).
  • The risk for stomach sleepers is that your head will be pushed up and back while you sleep, putting stress on your neck and spine.
