What are the risk problems with your old pillows?

The last thing you probably think about is the risk of using an old pillow each and every night. You’re far from alone. The reality is, old pillows cause a series of problems and risks that you are likely unaware of.

Another issue old pillows bring up is dust mites and subsequently allergies. Dead skin cells attract microscopic bugs called dust mites who feed on them. With approximately 10 percent of all Americans allergic to dust mites, this can cause serious problems for sufferers.

Pillow Health is one of those things that few people talk about or are aware of…until they remember we spend a third of our lives sleeping on our pillow. So, what’s the solution? Wash or replace your expired pillows. Also, it’s a good idea to get hypoallergenic pillow covers and wash the covers often in hot water.
