Are you prone to Allergies?

Are your pillows causing allergies?

As we prepare of the change of seasons and rising temperatures, don’t let spring allergies or illness get the best of you. If you are one of the lucky ones that spend 6-8 hours a night sleeping, your pillow can have a significant role in your overall health, especially when it relates to allergies. The result: a bad night’s sleep, tossing and turning, waking up feeling tired, crabby, and groggy. Nobody wants that!

 Do you think the culprit is your pillow? It could be!

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, more than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies and almost 60% of individuals with nasal allergies reported difficulty sleeping due to allergies.

Pillows can trap allergens like dust mites that will set off allergy symptoms. Bacteria, viruses, and mold can also begin to grow in your pillow. YUCK, right! These microbes reside in the fibers of your pillow and mix into the air in your home, then you breathe in that same air. These can trigger allergies such as dermatitis, eczema, asthma, eye irritation, eye swelling, sneezing, and coughing.

Malpaca® pillows are filled with 100% alpaca fleece which is naturally fire resistant and hypoallergenic.  Alpaca fleece does not contain lanolin and is dust-mite resistant making the Malpaca® pillow an ideal alternative to down.

Malpaca® pillows covers are made with a blend of organic cotton and viscose bamboo, a light and breathable fabric.  Eco-friendly viscose bamboo is grown without the need for pesticides or chemicals and is inherently anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic.  With a texture and sheen like silk or cashmere, our pillows are comfortable next to your skin year-round, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter.

Final Thought

To help eliminate nighttime allergies, consider changing your old pillow with a hypo allergenic Malpaca® pillow.
