Egyptian cotton pillows anyone?

[asha]

I dont know what kind of pillows we have, they are old. Thats all I know.
DH took DS to the doc yesterday abt some allergy kinda symptoms and the doc asked him to switch DS to Egyptian cotton pillows. I am wondering whats different abt these pillows. Anyone who has used them? I tried to do a google and could not find out much about it.

Any reviews/ recommendations? Where do I get them?

Thanks in advance.

if you google allergy pillows, you'll find them. are you looking for PILLOWS or pillow CASES?

I am looking for pillows. (THat was my first question, DH specifically said Pillows and not just cases)
Sealy seems to be the only one that makes it.
Did the googling for allergy pillows also. None of them were Egyptian cotton, but a whole lot of them showed up. I am totally lost with sooo many choices.
I wanted to check if anyone here has been through this already.

Thanks soo much Marisa. That was really sweet of you to go out of your way to help me out.

I had checked out the details on the BBB one. The cover is cotton, the contents are a hypoallergenic fiber of some sort. Not sure what that means, may be its ok.

Found out that Amazon has the sealy one.
But is it OK for a toddler to sleep on an adult pillow. I mean, isnt it too high for his neck (ykwim)? Doesnt it hurt their necks?

I was really hoping for a store to carry it, so I can go and get it right away. I will check the mattress stores if they carry the sealy one.

If I cannot find it there, I guess I will just order it online and see if it is comfortable for ds.

Thanks again Marisa. How is your hand now? Still pretty bad? I noticed your signature, does not seem like you are feeling much better. :(
