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 nocturnal and morning allergy attacks. Read on to learn more!

Key points:

• Allergens such as dust mites and mold in pillows can cause allergy symptoms.

Dust mites

Dust mites (not to be confused with bed bugs) are invisible, common 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 multiply, their fecal matter can trigger an allergic response. A long-term, undisturbed colony of dust mites living in your pillow can even lead to asthma.

Mold and fungi

Mold and fungi are invisible and, unfortunately, quite common. They are often found in the air we breathe. Some types of mold release substances that can cause allergic reactions. Hypoallergenic pillowcases can be an effective solution if you suffer from allergies.

Other allergens

Other common allergens that can ruin your sleep at night and make your morning difficult include:

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

No protection against allergens in your pillow?

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

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

Choose truly hypoallergenic pillowcases

One of the best ways to ensure your pillow doesn't make you sneeze is to use a zippered pillowcase. Many pillowcases are labeled "hypoallergenic" yet use an "envelope" closure. The material itself may be hypoallergenic, but since the pillow is not protected from allergens, you'll be wasting your money. Also, make sure the material of your pillowcase is not synthetic. Instead, look for hypoallergenic silk pillowcases – silk is a natural hypoallergenic material.

Switch to a silk pillowcase, make sure it has a zipper, and you're already one step closer to getting rid of allergens for good.

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 their cocoon. It will keep dust mites away from you while you relax in bed. Silk is also mold and fungus resistant. Its natural and strong fibers do not retain moisture – this has double benefits, as silk will not allow mold and fungi to grow, but it will leave your skin soft, supple, and hydrated.
