I bought a pair of hypoallergenic pillows a couple of weeks ago and immediately started having a reaction to them. I washed them and no change.
I looked at what they’re made from and I think it might be the Lyocell Tencel in the cover - made from eucalyptus trees.
Everything else about them is the same - afaik - as my other pillows.
Anyone else experience this or know anything about it?
I double-checked, it says “hypo” though it’s definitely “hyper” for me.
I ran them through the wash before using them and it was pretty much instantaneous.
Suffered through that night, in case it was something else. Next day, my allergies calmed down and when I laid down, it started again.
It’s upsetting bc they’re super squishy and comfortable.
Could it be you’re allergic to your laundry detergent or something introduced when washing it?
