Hypoallergenic Pillows

Hypoallergenic bedding helps with allergy problems associated with dust mites, animal dander, and down. Waking during the night or in the morning with allergy symptoms could be an indication that pillows and bedding need to be changed. Allergy symptoms often include itchy watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, stuffy nose, and sometimes sore throat. Allergy relief bedding is a way to combat the triggers often found in the bedroom. One way to begin is by buying hypoallergenic pillows and start the process of allergy proofing the bedroom. This will help to minimize symptoms and help to provide restorative sleep. Not getting enough rest will make symptoms worse and a person may find that the best way to combat allergies is to make sure that an adequate amount of sleep has been obtained.



Certain fabric blends actually prevent dust mites from penetrating the material. Fabric blends that are effective in preventing dust mites often are a blend of cotton and polyester. Higher thread counts are good to use against dust mites; holding up better through frequent washings and are often more comfortable feeling softer to the skin. The most popular high thread count sheets are made of cotton and are more expensive compared to lower thread counts. Hypoallergenic pillows will keep allergens from penetrating the pillow thus successfully cutting down on symptoms. Pillow covers made of special fabric blends and higher thread counts can also provide some relief.



Some people have a reaction to down. Down comforters and pillows are very popular but they may need to be replaced to minimize symptoms. People who prefer down may find the synthetic ones just as comfortable. Of course since there may be a need to switch there are some hypoallergenic bedding choices that should be considered. Some types have antimicrobial finishes that contain a substance not harmful to humans but is harmful to microbes that can trigger allergy symptoms. The finish is made of a natural substance that penetrates the outer shell of microbes causing dehydration instantly.



Animal dander can also be a culprit of morning and nighttime symptoms. Having animals in the bedroom is not a good idea for individuals who are allergic to their dander. The best way to remedy this type of problem is just to not have them in the bedroom but since many people feel that their animals are their babies this may not be realistic. However, hypoallergenic bedding is something that can help. Some people want their animals in the bed with them as well but if a pet actually sleeps on the bed it may be difficult to get relief. Washing bedding in hot water with mild detergent that contains no perfumes or dyes can provide some relief for itchy eyes, stuffy nose, and sore throat. Washings should be frequent, at least twice a week and more if possible. Of course, washing linens frequently will cause them to wear out much faster. Some things take diligence to accomplish and may take some time and money but the outcome will well be worth the effort. Along with diligence acquiring knowledge to make an informed decision is wise. "And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge." (2 Peter 1:5)



Keeping windows closed will help keep down outside allergens from entering the bedroom. These are usually worse during certain seasons as pollen and ragweed counts rise. Even with the windows closed there is a good possibility that some allergens will make it into the bedroom. However, by using hypoallergenic pillows the substances that trigger an attack won't be as bothersome. There are pillow covers that are made to help combat allergens that have a zipper enclosure to help keep out dust mites and pet dander. Some covers are made so that washings only have to be done about four times per year. They are waterproof, dust proof, laminated, but breathable.



Some of the best brand vacuum cleaners today offer an option to allergy sufferers. They come with attachments that can be used on the mattress and pillow to rid the bed of dust mites and other microbes. Vacuum first then put hypoallergenic bedding on the bed and pillows, including a mattress cover. Most stores that sell sheets, comforters, blankets, and mattress covers have a variety to choose from. Talk to the sales clerk about the best sellers and their recommendations. Do some research online to find out more information on purchasing linens for the bedroom.



Air purifiers are another option for the allergy weary since they actually work to take out allergens from the air and off of surfaces. Using this method along with purchasing hypoallergenic pillows and linens will help to greatly minimize microbes and other triggers. There are many different types of air purifiers to choose from as increases in technology make them even more efficient. The newest technology uses electrostatic particles to attract allergens to the surface of collector plates that need only be wiped off with a damp cloth occasionally to be cleaned.



For little tots who love stuffed animals, some stores that sell allergy relief linens also sell stuffed animals that are treated to prevent asthma symptoms. They are made to throw in the washer and dryer frequently. Most stuffed animals collect dust and other airborne microbes that aggravate asthmatic symptoms in a child. These cuddly little toys can be placed in a child's bed without fear of triggering an attack. To get the most advantage from allergy proofing a bedroom purchase hypoallergenic bedding, use an air purifier, use a good vacuum cleaner, and consider purchasing other allergy relief items.
