Types Of Pillows

In previous blogs I discussed different types of pillow fill material and what pillows can help allergy sufferers get a good night’s sleep.

The point of this blog is not to give you tips of how to create the perfect pillow mountain (I’ll save that for another blog). Rather, I wanted to provide some care tips on a few home items, including bedspreads, quilts and pillows. … Continue reading →
