Did you inherit your pillow from your grandmother? Throw it away immediately, because it is already 100% a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria, allergens, possibly ticks, as well as a large dust collector, which is near the airways throughout the night. Add to this the smell of antiquity, which is impossible to get rid of, and you get a full set of "benefits". Caring for natural pillows is so difficult that one thing is for sure, it is almost impossible to avoid all these problems. And finally, today it is no longer a trend to inherit pillows.

The pillow is pressured by our heads for 6-8 hours a day. No matter how good the filler is, no matter how dense its silicone coating, it loses elasticity and crumples. Yes, this is a natural and natural phenomenon. This does not indicate that the product was of poor quality. This indicates that it is time to take care of a new pillow.
