Pillow Question

[C@rol]

We get new pillows every 6-12-months because of dust mites. Ten percent of the weight of a two year old pillow can be composed of dead mites and their droppings. I'd rather get a new pillow than blow $20 on a dust mite cover for the pillow, that you're never really sure does the job - and they always feel stiff on the pillow. We also love to go to Tuesday Morning for our pillows, good selection and great prices.

Oh my goodness!!! :ceek:
You just grossed me out. And I do have the
zippered covers for my mattress and all six of
our pillows. I make sure to wash them with bleach
and dry them in a dryer. I was hoping I was
doing a good job with at least keeping the dust
mites down and helping to alleviate some of my
dh's allergy symptoms. Now after reading your
post I don't know. :csmh:

The one thing that I do remind myself of constantly
is that all the things that we are bombarded
warnings against have been around since time
began. They are not new and many people have
survived them. I try to do the best I can do to
make sure my household is clean, safe and
sanitized. There's not much more you can do or
you'll worry and spend yourself to death.

On the covers: Mine have never been stiff and
they don't affect the softness or fluffiness of
the pillows. They also wash very well, keep out
any liquids, if you know what I mean.
These are just my observations of how the
pillow covers work for us. They may be different for others.

I have the memory foam pillow and love it!
