We definitely spend a great deal of time with our pillows. When you stop and consider the amount of time that you spend with your pillow, it is somewhat shocking that most of us don’t give our pillows more thought and attention.
It is a bit scary to think about just how potentially damaging to our health an old pillow can be, but numerous studies have found that our pillows can (and usually do) harbor significant levels of bacteria. In short, your average pillow is pretty dirty.
Sleeping on a dirty pillow is a bad idea for a wide variety of important reasons. Dirty pillows mean that you are putting a source of bacteria, often a concentrated source, up close to your face and head. This can lead to sickness and a weakening of the immune system.
Allergens have a tendency to build up on a pillow as well. For those suffering from allergies, a pillow that is saturated with all sorts of allergens can be nothing short of horrible. If you have ever awoken in the morning only to discover that you are sneezing with itchy eyes, then the problem may be a dirty pillow or other unclean bedding.
Sometimes when people are searching for pillows for their RV, they simply take old pillows from their home that they don’t use anymore. Unfortunately, due to the fact that these ancient pillows are so dirty, this is not a good decision. It is best to just buy new pillows.
