There is a pillow 'cover' I buy and have kept on 'some' of my pillows. This
cover is supposedly mite proof, which keeps the pillows clean, but it is
very crinkly sounding - not as bad as plastic -- and it doesn't stop
crinkling until you wash it a lot.
I had a relative stay overnight who had a bloody nose in the middle of the
night on a nice down pillow. That was before I knew about these 'mite
busters.'
