Down is one of the most anti-allergic materials you can use for a pillow. It doesn’t attract bacteria, fungi, or other microbes. This makes it much healthier than any other filling material on the market. That being said, make sure to consider what type of pillow cover you are using with your down pillow.

Fact

Myth

Summer is warm because you are closer to the sun.

The northern hemisphere of the Earth is not closer to the sun when it is summer, nor is the southern hemisphere during its summer.

It is always warmer during the summer because Earth is tilted; during its year-long orbit, our home planet’s tilt allows the sun’s energy to hit us more directly.
