How My Daughter Stole My Pillow

// 6.12.09 // Filed under: Link Love, My Daughter

Here’s a little secret about me: I sweat a lot when I sleep. My theories include perimenopause, stress, or perhaps erotic dreams that I unfortunately do not remember. Whatever the cause, it’s annoying at best and disgusting at worst.

So I was interested in trying out the Protect-A-Bed Pillow Protector when the opportunity came my way. According to Protect-A-Bed:

Your body can lose up to 2 pints of moisture for every eight hours you sleep. This excess moisture creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and dust mites in both your mattress and pillow.

Ewww. The Protect-A-Bed pillow case (they also have mattress covers and crib protectors) is designed to prevent this breeding and cut down on allergies, asthma and eczema. It’s made of a soft terrycloth that I thought might not be comfortable, but it really is.

Sleeping on MY pillowI slept on the pillow cover for exactly 3 nights. Then my daughter stole it.

“Honey, I need to sleep on this pillow so I can review it on my blog. It’s Mommy’s work.”

“But it’s sooooo soft and cuddly. I neeed it.”

There’s an endrosement for ya.

    I found this Discover Magazine article I read a few years ago–we sweat 20 pounds of perspiration into our bedding every year! (Don’t read this article if you get queasy easily.)

    Oh man, this sounds awesome for me. I don’t sweat though, I drool :(

  4. Haha, that’s adorable. Maybe your daughter will start her own blog and review the pillow cover instead. I sweat quite a bit myself throughout each night and this would be a great product for me to try since I get the heeby jeebies thinking about all the things that might be breeding on my pillow.
