Achoo! 🤧 Do you often wake up in the morning with a blocked nose, irritated eyes, shortness of breath, or another allergic reaction? Your pillow could be to blame. It can be a breeding ground for dust mites, pollen, skin flakes, and even mould. Fortunately, there is a solution: a hypoallergenic pillow, in other words an anti allergy pillow. Is that something for you? Discover the best hypoallergenic pillow here.

What is an anti allergy pillow?
An anti allergy pillow is designed to reduce allergic reactions. It is ideal for people who are sensitive to dust mites, pollen, or mould. A hypoallergenic pillow is usually made from materials such as microfibre, memory foam, bamboo, or latex. Thanks to a dense structure, allergens have a hard time getting in. A hypoallergenic pillow is also highly breathable and wicks moisture well. Finally, many anti allergy pillows come with a zipped outer cover you can put in the washing machine, so your pillow stays clean, fresh, and free from allergens.

Which pillows are best for allergies?
Did you know all Cloudpillo pillows are hypoallergenic? Whether you choose the popular Cloudpillo Original, the pillow for side sleepers, our hotel pillow, or the pressure relieving pillow, they are all suitable for allergy sufferers. Every pillow also has a removable outer cover you can wash, and it dries in no time. Ideal!
Cloudpillo Original The filling combines microfibre and memory foam, great materials that hold on to fewer allergens. Cloudpillo Original has a dense structure and ventilates well, so allergens are less likely to settle. You can wash the hypoallergenic outer cover in the machine at 30 °C. Want a deeper refresh? Order a new outer cover, an inner cover, or extra filling. One more tip: we also have a travel size version, the Cloudpillo To Go.
Cloudpillo Plus This allergy friendly pillow is designed for side sleepers thanks to the shoulder recess. It offers the same anti allergic benefits as Cloudpillo Original. It is made from breathable, high density materials, ventilates well, and its outer cover zips off for easy washing.
Cloudpillo Recharge Our hotel quality pillow. It has two removable compartments, so you can set up your perfect feel. It is made from microfibre, known for its breathable and anti allergic properties. You can also wash the outer section by hand, so you sleep fresh again.
Cloudkiddo children’s pillow This is the hypoallergenic pillow for kids. It offers excellent airflow, which makes for a safe and healthy night’s sleep. The outer cover is washable at 30 °C. Read more about our washable children’s pillows.

Which bedding is best for allergies?
Choosing the right allergen safe pillow is step one. Next, choose a hypoallergenic pillowcase, such as cotton, bamboo, or microfibre. At Cloudpillo, we love 100% cotton sateen with a very high thread count (300 TC). The higher the thread count, the better the quality, and the tighter the weave, the less chance allergens can get through. That is what makes our pillowcases antibacterial and hypoallergenic.
How do you care for an anti allergic pillow?
Want to keep your anti allergic pillow that way? Give it some love. Try these care tips:
1. Wash the outer cover regularly. Preferably once a month, so dust, dust mites, pollen, and other allergens do not settle.
2. Use a hypoallergenic detergent; choose one without strong fragrance or irritating ingredients.
3. Air your pillow: lay it outside in the fresh air from time to time to help reduce bacteria and mould.
4. Replace your pillow now and then: it is wise to swap your pillow for a new one periodically. Read when to replace your pillow here.
