What is the Antimicrobial Pillow trend?
Antimicrobial Pillow: Brands are crafting pillows with antimicrobial materials and agents to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and, in some cases, dust mites. This unique construction is designed to help keep the pillow hygienic, odor-free, and less likely to cause allergies or skin irritation.
