Well-being largely depends not only on the duration of sleep, but also on its quality. It is impossible to imagine a quality, deep sleep without a comfortable mattress and pillow. Often beloved pillows and grandmother’s blankets linger in everyday life for so long that they turn into a time bomb, placed under our health.
Why does health depend on pillows?
When a person is sleeping, his body continues to work. Turning around in a dream, squeezing the pillow occurs, in turn, it absorbs the released sebum and sweat. Prolonged use of the pillow is imprinted on it with spots and deformations. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg, which makes it unattractive in appearance. The true threat lurks inside and is not visible with the naked eye.
Someone who lives in a pillow?
During its use, the pillow was loved not only by you, but also by ticks, which found a safe place in it to exist. Ticks provoke allergic reactions, obstructive bronchitis and bronchial asthma. An old pillow is often the cause of acne on the face.
Ticks will feel like “at home” at a humidity above 40%. It is difficult to achieve such indicators at home, especially when it comes to a pillow or blanket, in which the moisture level is maintained by the body's fumes. Feathers are especially fond of ticks.
Another fact indicating the need for replacement is the loss of form. Squeezed and washed pillow is not able to provide reliable support to the head. Only a pillow can guarantee a healthy sleep, which completely fills the gap between the shoulders and the head when you lie on your back. If you prefer to sleep on your side, choose initially flat bedding.
