Everyone knows that you’re going to pick up germs from everything in the world. One thing that a lot of people think about is what you’re putting your head on at night when you go to bed. I never really gave it a whole lot of thought either, but I did when I started developing allergies out of the blue. What got me to thinking about it is having had the opportunity to sleep on a bed with healthy dreams germ fighter pillows on it. I woke up able to breath well, not congested at all and I knew the environment was the same as home, just the bedding was different.
I asked why they chose this kind of a pillow and was really surprised to hear about how bad your bedding choices can be for you. I never gave much thought to the dust mites and germs that your pillows can hold, especially the older the pillows are. When you think about it, a pillow starts breaking down the first time you use it and when you breath, you’re breathing out whatever germs are in your system. You don’t change your pillows when you’re sick, right? You change the bedding and wash it, but what about the actual pillow or mattress?
I know that, personally, my allergies are absolutely horrible. I got new pillows for Christmas and I was better for a few days, then they kicked in even harder. I suffer daily. I don’t like it, but it’s what I have to do because I haven’t had the ability to change them all out at once. I need to do that soon, then hopefully I’ll be able to sleep better at night and wake up better in the morning.
If you don’t believe me about your pillows making you sick, check out the video below and you’ll be a believer too. I know it opened my eyes even more.
