You breathe in and out everything that could be lurking inside. Pillows can trap allergens, like dust mites, setting off allergy symptoms, like sneezing, stuffiness, eye redness, and eye itching.

There are a variety of pillows on the market that are hypoallergenic and come with additional features, like cooling gels, moisture-wicking fabrics, and even adjustable fill levels. What makes a
