I tried "My Pillow" and hated it. My mom, sisters, and 2 BILs love it.
I have lots of allergies, too, Lorraine. My oldest son does, as well. Look at AllergyControl.com I've never bought their pillows, but I have purchased the pillow coverings, laundry detergent (which I use mostly for bed linens), and a few other things from them and have been happy. I just placed an order on Friday and they expect it to be at my house by Tues or Wed. Good luck!! |
There are pillow casings that you can zip onto a bed pillow.

One thing I learned is that my pillows must be tossed in the dryer at high temp for about 1/2 hour every month or so to kill the dust mites. If I don't. then I get the same symptoms. That is true no matter what your pillow is made from.
Like you, I can't use feather pillows because of allergies. |

Being that you so many allergies to things that most pillows are made of perhaps you should just sleep flat on the mattress...no pillow at all. Or how about making a wedge pillow......

I don't make it very full as I like to be able to mold my pillow. I make a little hallow for my head with a little extra fluff at my neck. I also tried the ergonomic foam pillow but I just couldn't get used to it.[/B]

This company sells 100% organic cotton pillows including the fill. I haven't bought from them so I would check their return policy before any purchase. http://www.whitelotus.net/organic-cotton-pillows.html hope this helps!

This is very interesting info. I can't use feather pillows due to allergies, but have noticed headaches and stuffy nose and rosacea much more at our main house, not second one. I'm going to check fabric content of bed stuff. I did get a pillow which was advertised on tv that had some kind of pellets. Was supposed to help people with neck problems. It does help and is kind of horseshoe shaped. I don't remember the brand and am not at home for a week, so I can't check.

Then I move and it takes about 5 minutes for the pain to go away. So I have to punch it a few times to make a hole "dent" for my ear. Usually I kind of fold the pillow so that there is no pillow under my ear. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do this with the big square pillows they have in Europe, but I made it work.

I am like maviskw. Have to have a dent for my ear to fit in my pillow. Hurts like mad if I don't. My Dad is the same way. Some people are just a little strange aren't we????
