Hygienic & Hypoallergenic

Do you struggle with sensitive skin? Experiencing allergic reactions? Have itchy mornings?

No worries, we have you covered... But first, let’s look at two main factors in bedding products that can cause allergic reactions: 

  1. Dust mites (or, to be exact, their sub products);
  2. Aggressive and/or harmful substances used in production;

 

Therefore, an allergy-free pillow is: 

a specifically designed pillow to discourage dust mite growth & development and is made with materials less likely to cause allergic reactions.

 

 

1. About the dust-mites:

 

Did you know pillow can gain 10% or more of its weight over time?

 

... this includes dead skin, sweat, skin oil, and dust – all favourite foods for dust mites. Just imagine, it can be 100 grams or more of those “additions” inside of your pillow. These microscopic creatures thrive in warm, humid environments like pillows and mattresses, happily multiplying and leaving droppings that trigger allergic reactions like sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, and skin irritation.

The evolving battle:

Like everything else in nature, dust mites are evolving. Anti-dust mite treatments that once protected pillows are becoming less effective (similar to how some mosquito repellents no longer fully repel mosquitoes, you noticed?). To maintain the same level of protection, producers might be tempted to add stronger, potentially aggressive treatments to products.

The power of cleanliness:

Your best defence? Regular washing! Studies show monthly machine washes completely remove dust mites and their waste. Choose a fully washable pillow (not just cover) to create a clean and safe sleep environment.

 

2. About the aggressive and harmful substances:

Another crucial aspect for allergy-free sleep is choosing a pillow free of harmful substances that could irritate skin or trigger allergic reactions. The best way to guarantee this is through independent testing and certifications. One of the world's most respected certifications for textiles is the OEKO-TEX Standard 100. This standard has different levels (product classes) based on stringency, with Class 1 being the strictest, specifically designed for baby and toddler products. Notably, Lunarto® pillows proudly achieve and maintain this rigorous Class 1 certification.

What does OEKO-TEX Class 1 guarantee?

  • Elimination of known allergens and irritants: The certification process tests for and restricts over 100 harmful substances known to trigger reactions. This significantly reduces the risk of allergies caused by the pillow materials themselves.
  • Promotion of good skin health: By ensuring the absence of harsh chemicals, Class 1 products are less likely to cause skin irritation or inflammation, which can contribute to allergy symptoms.
  • Increased trust and transparency: The stringent testing process provides assurance to consumers, especially those with sensitivities, that the product has undergone rigorous safety checks.
  • Choosing a pillow with an OEKO-TEX Class 1 certification offers peace of mind knowing you're prioritising your well-being and creating a safe, allergy-free sleep environment.
