Pillow Talk

The truth about pillows.

Did you know?

• Allergens such as dust mites, mold and mildew in addition to perspiration and saliva can cause pillows to become unhealthy in one to two years.
• Hair and body oils soak into a pillow’s outer cover and fill, creating a breeding ground for odor causing bacteria and allergy triggering dust mites.
• Using pillow protectors can double the life of your pillows.
• Old pillows can cause improper neck and spine alignment resulting in back, neck and leg pain. Improper neck alignment can also cause headaches.
• Orthopedic specialists and chiropractors recognize that nearly all back and neck problems stem from poor sleep practices such as sleeping on worn out or poorly fitted pillows.
• People get fitted for shoes and clothing, but rarely get fitted for a pillow they sleep on every night.
• A pillow that is the wrong feel or not properly contoured to your head, neck and back can seriously alter sleep patterns. This lack of sleep can lead to side effects such as illness, impaired judgment, and mood swings.
• A contoured pillow can help reduce snoring by tilting your head back slightly and keeping your throat open to minimize snoring.
