Morning Allergies: Why Your Pillow Is a Dust Mite Nest (and the Fix)
Breathe easier →Sneezing when you wake up, a stuffy nose, itchy eyes — with no cold or seasonal cause in sight? The culprit might be right under your head. A cotton pillowcase absorbs sweat, dead skin cells, and moisture all night long — a feast for dust mites, which thrive in exactly this warm, humid environment, inches from your face.
Cotton: A Perfect Refuge for Dust Mites
"Mulberry silk has a dense, naturally hydrophobic fiber structure that prevents moisture from settling in — the exact condition dust mites need to survive."
A Fiber That Naturally Resists Allergens
Unlike cotton, silk doesn't hold onto moisture and keeps dust and mites from embedding in the fiber. Result: fewer allergens concentrated right under your face for 7-8 hours of sleep, and mornings without a stuffy nose or itchy eyes. To round out your evening routine, check out our silk sleep mask, designed for sensitive skin and eyes too.
