I need new pillows...

Cotton seems ok in the beggining until they need to be clean.

I was wonder how the foam pillows worked for people. Some peolple say it outgases VOC (low level, but none the less).

Need a good pillow, the hypo allegery ones at the deptment stores give me headheaches....

Hwy not get a cotton pillow and cover it with a dustmite protective cover? That should also help keep it clean longer.

I sometimes sweat sleeping, so I gotta clean the pillow sometimes. I use to have an old pillow made of old sponge parts, best pillow I had, can't find those anymore.

Now these foam pillows advertise solving all your problem, sleep, allergy, sex, etc!
