I had to get rid of my feather pillow. FYI- feather pillows and down comforters are linked to interstitial lung disease. How will I ever find something as mushy as a feather pillow? Anyone else like a mushy pillow and what do you have? Oh, and by the way, the comfort is not to die for!
This is what I have heard from so many already.This article from Catalan News states that feather pillows can cause idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Pay attention that one has a lifespan of 3-5 years. The Daily Mail writes about other icky stuff in pillows. And this journal article talks aboutFeather duvet lung (FDL). I have used hypoallergenic pillow covers religiously for several years now. I will swear by those. But if there is a chance that a pillow can take away any more air from my lungs, it is out of here.
What did others suggest? I have not researched all of these and cannot recommend one over the other or to say which is a safer alternative.
One person suggested Kapok pillow.
Another suggested bamboo pillows.
Another suggested a Tempurpedic pillow
Several people suggested the pricey My Pillow
I ordered My Pillow. I’ll let you know how it goes.
