The best covers in the fight against allergies.

Tired of sniffling at night and waking up with itchy eyes? You may not realize it, but your seemingly innocent pillowcase may be the cause of your nighttime and early morning allergy attacks. Read on to learn more!

Key Points:

• Allergens such as dust mites and mold in pillows can cause allergy symptoms.
• Pillow cases with an envelope type closure (with a flap) favor the development of allergens. A better option is a zippered case.
• What makes allergies worse at night?
• When you're sneezing, sniffling, tossing and turning all night, you're not getting the quality beauty sleep you need—and deserve!
• What causes allergy problems during sleep? There are several possibilities, but the problem is probably your pillows.
• Some of the most common allergens such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew are found in your pillow and pillow case.
• Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to mold, mildew and mites.
• Boder.bg's mulberry silk pillowcases have a zipper and provide all the benefits for your hair and skin.

Dust mites

Dust mites (not to be confused with bed bugs) are common invisible pests that live in mattresses, pillows, carpets and furniture. These microscopic bugs won't bite you, but they will feed on the abundance of dead skin cells you shed daily. delicious, right?
But how do they cause allergies? Well, we'll explain this quickly - when the mite reproduces, the fecal matter can trigger an allergic response. A colony of dust mites living undisturbed, long-term in your pillow, can even lead to asthma.

Mold and mildew

Mold spores are invisible and again, unfortunately, quite common. They are often in the air we breathe. Some types of mold produce a substance that can trigger an allergic response.
Hypoallergenic pillowcases can be a lifesaver if you suffer from mold and mildew allergies.

Other allergens

Other common allergens that can disrupt your night's sleep and make your mornings rough include:
• Pollen
• Chemicals and chemical by-products used in the textile manufacturing process. Therefore, it is important that the textile has the Oeko-Tex Standart 100 certificate. It proves that a product does not contain harmful substances and chemicals.

Without protection from allergens in the pillow?

If you do not currently own a hypoallergenic pillow case, then you have no protection from the allergens in your pillow.

All the dirt and build-up finds a cozy home in your pillow, pillowcase and bedding. In the meantime, you feel itching, sniffling or wheezing. If this sounds familiar, consider a hypoallergenic pillow case and take care of your health.

Choose real hypoallergenic pillowcases

One of the best ways to ensure that your pillow won't make you sneeze is to use a zippered pillowcase. Many pillowcases are labeled as "hypoallergenic" and will still use an envelope closure. The material itself may be hypoallergenic, but since the pillow isn't actually protected from allergens, you'll just be wasting your money.
Also, make sure that the material of your pillowcase is not synthetic. Instead, look for hypoallergenic pillowcases made from silk— silk is a naturally hypoallergenic material.

Switch to a silk pillowcase, make sure it has a zipper, and you're one step away from allergens for good.

Hypoallergenic benefits of using a silk pillowcase
If you suffer from allergies, switching to a silk hypoallergenic pillowcase can dramatically improve your life and the quality of your night's sleep.
As mentioned, silk is hypoallergenic and mite resistant! If you're curious about how silk's natural fibers can reduce the severity of your allergies, it's mostly because of silk's natural protein, sericin.
Sericin is the main protein that protects silkworms from other insects while they are in their cocoons. It will also keep the mites away from you while you are relaxing in bed.
Silk is also resistant to mold and mildew. Its strong, natural fibers do not retain moisture - this has a double benefit, as silk will not allow mold and mildew to grow, but will allow your skin to remain soft, supple and hydrated.
