4. Add deodorizer into the washing machine for a fragrant pillow.
5. After the washing machine stops working, dry the pillow. Try not to dry with heat (hot dryer). We recommend that the cushion is dried manually only, dried in sunlight in sufficient time to dry it, because if left too hot, it will damage the silicon fiber. Drying by machine sometimes damages the shape of the pillow. If you wash it manually, it does not need to be squeezed until it is twisted, as it damages the shape of the pillow.

To find out when to change the pillow, fold the pillow, then remove it. If the pillow back to normal means the pillow is still in good condition, the pillow does not need to be replaced. If the cushion remains in a folded or very slow position in its inflating process to normal shape, it is time to replace the new pillow. However this does not apply to the cotton pillow, foam and latex. Do not fold the latex pillow, just to measure the life time of its replacement.

The History of Pillow

pillow Wednesday, May 30, 2018 0

The History of Pillow.

The history of the Pillow can not be separated from the history of human civilization itself. Humans are looking for ways to give comfort to the way they rest. According to various sources, the first group of people to use pillows were in the Mesopotamian region, in the period 7000 BC. The use of pillows change the way humans sleep, while sleeping does not use headrests. At that time, the use of pillows to sleep was only certain circles, especially the rich and fortunate. The amount of ownership of the pillow is a symbol of the status of the prosperity of the owner.

Use of Pillows in ancient Egypt.

In Egypt, the use of pillows has been associated with the phenomenon of preservation of the corpse (mummies) and ancient Egyptian tombs, In the range of 2055-1985 BC. Ancient Egyptian cushion form is stone or wooden headrests. The use of a cushion in Egypt at that time was mostly only to be placed under the head of a corpse, because the human head was regarded as the essence of life and sacred. The ancient Egyptians used wooden or stone pillows to wedge the heads of the dead. Then the pillow is also used by living humans as a means to restore the strength of the body, maintain blood circulation, and keep it from the distraction of evil creatures.

Use of Pillows In ancient Europe.

The Romans and Greeks from ancient Europe created the soft cushions. The material from the pillows used as a backrest to sleep, filled with reeds, feathers, and straw to make their sleeps softer and more comfortable. Nevertheless, still only upper-class people have pillows. People in ancient Europe started using pillows when going to church to kneel in prayer and to be placed in scripture. This is a tradition that still lives to this day. In addition, the Romans and Greeks used their pillows by placing the pillow under the heads of the dead as in ancient Egypt.

Use of Pillows In ancient China.

Chinese peoples use pillows made of various materials including bamboo, jade, porcelain, wood, and bronze. At that time, the use of porcelain cushion is the most popular. The use of porcelain cushions appeared first in the Sui Dynasty between 581 and 618. While mass production of porcelain cushions appeared in the Tang Dynasty between the years 618 and 907. Chinese adorn their pillows by varying forms or by painting animals, humans and plant. Ancient Chinese porcelain cushions reached peak usage during the Song, Jin, and Yuan dynasties reigned between the 10th and 14th centuries, but gradually began to disappear during the Ming and Qing dynasty between 1368 and 1911 with the creation of better-made pillows .

Use of Pillows in Medieval Age.

Until the medieval age in Europe, the pillow is still a marker of social status of society. Only upper middle class people (bourgeois) who use this sleeping supplement. However, this perception was undermined by King Henry VII of the United Kingdom. He forbade everyone to wear pillows except women who are pregnant. Men who continue to wear pillows are regarded as weak men. But the rule began to fade by itself in the 19th century. Pillow is a good tool as an addition to sleeping human sleep in general.

Use of Pillows in Modern times.

The longer, the more modern humans in creating activities that facilitate his life. Humans begin to creatively determine what materials are comfortable for their sleep needs. However, in reality there are differences in the use of pillow material in different parts of the world. In the Asian Continent, people use cotton / kapok as material for their pillows. In Europe people use wool, goose hair or straw bonds. Until finally in the 20th century humans have been able to create foam, fiber and silicon fiber latex as a substitute for materials derived from nature. Until now, soft cushions have been mass produced with various raw materials of foam, goose feather, silicone fiber and others. Currently, the use of cotton / kapok based pillow is lessened due to the lack of raw materials and side effects of less support for human health.

How to Clean your Pillows from Dust Mites

info Sunday, May 27, 2018 0

Have you ever been disturbed while sleeping? Maybe you feel the itching on the skin of the body? or Do you start coughing after waking up? or even you have trouble breathing when you wake up? Maybe it is caused by a small animal called mites, or often called lice. These mites often sit on cushions and mattresses that you use during sleep. Mites breed easily on sleeping pillows and mattresses. This can trigger allergies with unpleasant symptoms. Even if you are not really allergic to mites, you should periodically take these steps to eliminate them for your hygiene and health.

What are dust mites / mites?

Mites are an eight-legged creature that is almost impossible to see with the naked eye, should be with a microscope. Dust mites feed on fragments of human skin that are detached, and it is therefore common that mites live wherever humans live. Dust mites will live in the cleanest house, so it is very difficult to remove.

Specifically, dust mites can often be found in places that are related to your sleeping activities, as they are usually living mites where there are many dead skin fragments. Dust mites also thrive in places with high humidity. Pillows and Mattresses are places that meet this requirement because peeling skin and sweat is an ideal source of food and moisture for mites. Dust mites cause problems because they secrete enzymes. This enzyme can trigger allergic reactions in the human body. It can cause symptoms such as sneezing, wheezing, coughing, or watery eyes. Dust mites do not cause problems for those who are not allergic to them, because dust mites do not bite or hide in the skin.

Well this time we will tell you how to remove the mite from the pillow or mattress that you use to sleep every day, so you avoid the risk of itching, yeast infection, allergies, cough and asthma. We will not discuss the method of cleaning the mites on the mattress, we will only discuss how to clean the pillow from the mite. Though more or less the same way. Here are a few different methods of removing dust mites from your pillows:

How to Clean your Pillows from Dust Mites

Read the Instruction on Pillows Tag

Before you read the information below, it should be noted that you should always follow the Maintenance guidelines in the tag. If your pillow has no tags, the information below will be useful to ensure that you do not damage it during the cleaning process. However we recommend that you comply with the cleaning instructions in the attached tag. What's in it? Usually there are codes like
dry or wet clean or temperature information.

Knowing the Pillows Material

You have to find out what type of pillow you want to wash. What materials are in it? Here are the most common types of pillows, with a quick overview of how to get started.

Kapok Pillow, This pillow can not be washed, can only be dried under the sun alone.
Foam Pillow, Foam pillows should not be put into a washing machine or overheated in excessive amounts.

Goose Down / Down Feather & Silicon Fiber Pillows. Generally, both types of pillows can be washed with your washing machine or hand-cleaned manually. Clean until completely dry. if it should be dried, do not get too hot because it will damage the density of the pillow.
Latex, This kind of pillow can be washed with machine.

Remove the Pillowcase

If there is a cover, you should remove it and wash it separately. The majority of pillowcases can go into the washing machine, but again, look for care instructions on the tags. If you use a special hypoallergenic cover pillow, then a special way may be required.

Using Vacuum Cleaner
Use a Vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt that might be trapped inside the pillow. It will not clean up completely, but it will help remove any debris left behind. It will be helpful to wash the pillow itself.

Do Not Overheating
Since this is a foam or down or silicon pillow, You should not expose it to excessive heat. Specifically, this means you should not put it in the dryer or leave it under the sun too long. You can put it in the dryer on no heat cycles for about 20 minutes to help free the dust, dirt and debris.

Spot Cleaning
If there are visible stains, you can use a cloth dipped in soft soap and water to help clean it. There are a number of other natural cleaning solutions that you should consider to use as well. Be sure to rinse the entire area with a damp cloth and let it dry thoroughly before using it again.

Washing by Hand
Some pillows have instructions for washing by hand. If you choose to do this, be careful as the pillow becomes wet, heavy and can be easily damaged or torn. Make sure you leave it completely dry before you use it again. A fan may be able to help speed this process.

Use a Pillowcase that Changes Regularly.

We recommend wearing a pillowcase to protect the pillow from dust mites. There are many benefits of using a pillowcase, one of which is to keep the pillow clean. Pillowcases will help reduce how often you have to clean the pillow, and it will also prolong life and help protect you from harmful allergies. If you have a hypoallergenic pillow cover, that would be better.

How often to wash the pillow regularly.

Now that you know more about how often to wash the pillows regularly, you may wonder how you should do it. It depends on how often the pillow is used. If you sleep with the pillow every night, then you should often wash it. But if it is a decorative pillow located on top of the furniture, which is rarely used, then you can clean it less often.

There is no definite answer as to how often you should clean it up. Opinions will vary depending on who you listen to. Some say half a year, while others say it should be once a month. We choose to suggest just follow your instincts. If you feel your pillows need to be cleaned, then wash them immediately. But remember, if you use a pillowcase, you should wash it more often than the pillow

itself.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

info Thursday, May 24, 2018 0

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), also known as cot death or crib death, is the sudden unexplained death of a child less than one year of age. Diagnosis requires that the death remains unexplained even after a thorough autopsy and detailed death scene investigation. SIDS usually occurs during sleep. Typically death occurs between the hours of 00:00 and 09:00. There is usually no evidence of struggle and no noise produced.

The exact cause of SIDS is unknown. The requirement of a combination of factors including a specific underlying susceptibility, a specific time in development, and an environmental stressor has been proposed. These environmental stressors may include sleeping on the stomach or side, overheating, and exposure to tobacco smoke. Accidental suffocation from bed sharing (also known as co-sleeping) or soft objects may also play a role. Another risk factor is being born before 39 weeks of gestation. SIDS makes up about 80% of Sudden and Unexpected Infant Deaths (SUIDs). Other causes include infections, genetic disorders, and heart problems.

Placing an infant to sleep while lying on the stomach or the side increases the risk. This increased risk is greatest at two to three months of age. Elevated or reduced room temperature also increases the risk, as does excessive bedding, clothing, soft sleep surfaces, and stuffed animals. Bumper pads may increase the risk of SIDS due to the risk of suffocation. They are not recommended for children under one years of age as this risk of suffocation greatly outweighs the risk of head bumping or limbs getting stuck in the bars of the crib.

Sharing a bed with parents or siblings increases the risk for SIDS. This risk is greatest in the first three months of life, when the mattress is soft, when one or more persons share the infant's bed, especially when the bed partners are using drugs or alcohol or are smoking. The risk remains, however, even in parents who do not smoke or use drugs. The American Academy of Pediatrics thus recommends "room-sharing without bed-sharing", stating that such an arrangement can decrease the risk of SIDS by up to 50%. Furthermore, the Academy recommended against devices marketed to make bed-sharing "safe", such as in-bed co-sleepers.

The Baby really does require our surveillance but can we do it at all times ? Here's thing you should care about.

Sleep Positioning and Bedding Accessories Usage.

Sleeping on the back has been found to reduce the risk of SIDS. Sleeping on the back does not appear to increase the risk of choking even in those with gastroesophageal reflux disease. While babies in this position, they may sleep more comfortable and lightly. Sharing the same room as one's parents but in a different bed may decrease the risk by half. It's good if we allow the baby to sleep on our side but in separate bed, so that when breastfeeding is easier and we quickly wake up if feel the moments is come.

Product safety experts advise against using overly soft mattresses, sleep positioners, bumper pads (crib bumpers), stuffed animals, or fluffy bedding in the crib and recommend instead dressing the child warmly and keeping the crib "naked". Blankets or other clothing should not be placed over a baby's head. The FDA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning about their use because they are hazardous.

The recommendation of Dr. Rachel Moon at the National Medical Children's Center in Washington DC United States. And if you wants your baby to be more safer, do not let the baby sleep in the crib at night because we do not know what will happens if he sleeps alone at an early age.

Child Sleeping

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Prevention

The most effective method of reducing the risk of SIDS is putting a child less than one year old on their back to sleep. Other measures include a firm mattress separate from but close to caregivers, no loose bedding, a relatively cool sleeping environment, using a pacifier, and avoiding exposure to tobacco smoke.

Breastfeeding

If the infant is exposed to the first Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) countermeasure is to give her breast milk for breathing to return to normal. Some think breast milk may protect babies from infections that raise their SIDS risk. Do not drink alcohol if you breastfeed, because that raises your baby’s risk of SIDS. In addition, the simple touch is helpful. Skin-to-skin contact is important for your baby’s development

Immunization

Immunization may also be preventive. We can reduce Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) with immunization after the SIDS process is passed. Putting your baby to sleep with a pacifier may also help prevent SIDS. Evidence shows babies who’ve been immunized in accordance with recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC have a 50% reduced risk of SIDS compared with babies who aren’t fully immunized.

Using a Pillows on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Prevention

For prevention to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), We should lay the infants in a supine position with No Pillow At All, Although the pillow can prevent the infants to move sideways to the stomach position quickly and prevent choking while slept. Using pillow may causing they become trapped under it or wedged against it, unable to breathe. To reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), babies should sleep flat on their back in a clean cot with no blankets, pillows or toys. When they are growing older than one years old, you may start to introduce them to a pillow.

Throwing Pillows and Fight each other

Pillow fight is a common game played by most young people (but also by teenagers and adults) where they engage in mock physical conflict, using pillows as weapons. A pillow fight can take place almost anywhere but is traditionally played at beds. Sometime, peoples arranging pillow fight festival at the public place. The best methods to start a pillow fight is spontaneously. Make sure there are enough pillows for everyone and then grab a pillow and start whacking your enemy near you. Because the pillow is soft, thats make rare injury. The weight of the pillow can still make young people lose balance when being hit, especially on soft surfaces such as sleepovers, which are common places to use.

Modern cushions tend to be stronger and more often filled with solid material from artificial materials than feathers or down, this can be resulting in more frequent damage.

Pillow Fight in Japan

In Japan, Makura-Nage is a game from Japan where kids throw pillows at each other. While war pillows primarily take the form of hitting each other with pillows, the Japanese Makura-Nage is a game where players throw each other pillows at the same time. The word "Makura" means "pillow", "nage" means "throw". Pillow fights are a normal part of school trips in Japan, when several students sleep in the same hotel room and start throwing pillows at each other. Known for its onsen (hot springs), Ito City in Shizuoka is the first place in Japan to turn pillow fights into a competitive sport. This unique event in which competitors can relieve stress by throwing pillows at each other is held in order to promote Ito Onsen. This competition is different from Western pillow fights, which involve hitting each other with pillows, and is unique to Ito City. Based on the idea of a student from the local Ito High School Jogasaki branch school, the All-Japan Pillow Fighting Tournament in Ito Onsen is a legitimate sport with rules, involving teams of six to eight people. The number of competition teams has grown from 18 teams in the first tournament in 2013 to 48 general division teams and 9 children’s division teams in this year’s tournament, the sixth.
