The best pillowcases in the fight against allergies.

Are you tired of sneezing at night and waking up with itchy eyes? You may not realize it, but your seemingly harmless pillow could be the cause of your nighttime and morning allergy attacks. Read on to learn more!

Key points:

• Allergens such as dust mites and mold in pillows can cause allergy symptoms.
• Pillows with "envelope" closure favor the development of allergens. A better option is a zippered pillow.
• What makes allergies worse at night?
• When you're sneezing, itching, or tossing and turning all night, you're not getting the restful sleep you need and deserve!
• What causes allergy problems during sleep? There are several possibilities, but the problem is probably with your pillows.
• Some of the most common allergens, such as dust, dust mites and mold, are in your pillow and cover.
• Silk is a natural hypoallergenic material and resistant to mold, fungus and mites.
• The mulberry silk pillowcase from Bodar.bg has a zipper and offers all the benefits for your hair and skin.

Dust mites

Dust mites (not to be confused with bed fleas) are common invisible pests that live in mattresses, pillows, carpets and furniture. These microorganisms won't bite you, but they feed on the dead skin cells you shed daily. Delicious, isn't it? How do they cause allergies? Here's the quick explanation – when dust mites breed, the feces can trigger an allergic response. A colony of dust mites living undisturbed long-term in your pillow can even lead to asthma.

Mold and fungi

Mold growth is invisible and unfortunately quite common. They are often present in the air we breathe. Certain types of mold produce substances that can trigger an allergic response. Hypoallergenic pillow covers can be a lifesaver if you have mold and mildew allergies.

Other allergens

Other common allergens that can ruin your nighttime sleep and make your mornings difficult include:

• The pollen
• Chemicals and by-products used in the textile manufacturing process. That is why it is important that the materials have the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate. This guarantees that the product does not contain harmful substances and chemicals.

No protection against allergens in the pillow?

If you don't have a hypoallergenic pillowcase, you have no protection against allergens in your pillow.

All dust and accumulations find a comfortable place in the pillow, pillowcase and bed linen. Meanwhile, you experience itching, sneezing or wheezing. If this sounds familiar, consider a hypoallergenic pillow case and take care of your health.

Choose truly hypoallergenic pillowcases

One of the best ways to guarantee that your pillow won't make you sneeze is to use a zippered pillowcase. Many pillowcases are labeled as "hypoallergenic" and yet will use an "envelope" closure. The material itself may be hypoallergenic, but since the pillow is not protected against allergens, you will be wasting your money. Also, make sure that the material of your pillowcase is not synthetic. Instead, look for hypoallergenic silk pillowcases - silk is a naturally hypoallergenic material.

Switch to a silk pillowcase, make sure it has a zipper, and you're one step away from allergens for good.

The hypoallergenic benefits of using a silk pillowcase

If you have allergies, switching to a hypoallergenic silk pillowcase can dramatically improve your life and the quality of your sleep at night. As mentioned, silk is hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant! If you're curious how silk's natural fibers can reduce the severity of allergies, it's largely due to silk's natural protein, sericin. Sericin is the main protein that protects silkworms from other insects while in the cocoon. It will keep dust mites away from you while you relax in bed. Silk is also resistant to mold and mildew. Its natural, strong fibers do not retain moisture – this has double benefits, as silk will not allow mold and mildew to grow, but will leave your skin soft, supple and hydrated.
