It does , doesn’t it? So much easier to clean. I’ve just received pillows with washable covers too and I feel so much better about that.

Could be a touch of home fever Claire. I imagine it will get worse for us all in winter too as we will spend more time indoors with less air circulating around. Hope you find a solution soon!

Yes, I was proper grossed out by all this Jenny. I’m definitely going to be cleaning and airing my new mattress more often and pillows will be replaced very frequently and washed super often!

My pleasure Maria, always good to share the knowledge, especially if it can help people with health problems.

It’s so obvious when you read something like this but it never occurred to me either Abi. Hopefully you can try a few of these tips and see if it makes any difference!

Absolutely Fiona. I never really thought about it until researching this post but now I’m super on it. The thought of pillows full of poo is just so gross!

Definitely something to consider Becky. It honestly never occurred to me that my mattress and bedding could be making my allergies worse!

Me neither, it never crossed my mind. But now I’m on it. Have ordered a new mattress and will be looking into mattress protectors. I’m also going to hoover the mattress regularly and wash the pillows a lot more often. This has proper grossed me out!

Oooooh Karen, eczema is so nasty. My little one suffered with it for a little while but it’s thankfully cleared up now. But I felt so bad seeing her in so much pain and so itchy. It’s definitely worth closely examining everything that comes into contact with our skin!

It’s actually made me a bit paranoid Maria. I’ve had to set a reminder on my phone so I remember to wash the bedding super regularly. I’ve also just received new pillows and a new mattress arrives next week. Researching this really made me feel gross. I can;t bear the thought of sleeping on a pillow full of faeces, even if we can’t see them!
