Why a clean Pillow is essential to
our lives
The ugly truth of other pillows...
What happens in
your pillow, unfortunately, stays in your pillow. There are literally thousands
of dust mites living, breeding and defecating in your pillow every day.
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation:
"Dust
mites may be the most common cause of year-round allergy and asthma. About 20
million Americans have dust mite allergy... Having dust mites doesn't mean
that your house isn't clean. In most areas of the world, these creatures are in
every house, no matter how immaculate. But it is true that keeping your home as
free of dust as possible can lessen dust mite allergy." http://www.aafa.org/display.cfm?id=9&sub=18&cont=228. You
need temperatures of at least 130 degrees to kill dust mites. These little
critters contribute to asthma and allergy attacks for the sixty million who
suffer from this in the United States alone.
But Dust Mites aren't the only thing lurking in
your pillow…
In addition to dust mites and their feces,
studies show pillows also contain mold and bacterial organisms. A two year old
bed pillow can contain one tenth or more of its weight from these allergens!!
Yuck!!
Honestly, most people don't wash their pillows often enough
because pillows have not been made to wash this stuff out…until now
The Fresh Air Pillow which is made completely here in America. It has an outer
shell that is removable and also an inner casing that is filled with little
foam pellets that are washable. So you can wash the outer shell and the inner
casing in a load and be done. Plus it's made to be washed as often as you like.
So it gets your pillow clean from the inside out!
The Fresh Air Pillow is a part of a Grass Roots campaign on the Website called
kickstarter. This project is half funded already, but it needs your help to get
the rest of it. And I really want this to be funded because I want a pillow
after watching their video and the really gross one with Matt Lauer of the
Today Show, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGwdA38IMnc&feature=player_embedded
This kickstarter campaign has less than 3 weeks to go so
make sure to head on over and make a pledge. Seriously, do it just so you can
get a pillow! If you make a pledge of $59 or more, you get a pillow when they
hit their goal. And yes, this is a pillow that will easily wash, stay clean,
cool and comfortable for many years to come.
