Mouldy sleep times
March 11, 2013
A NEW study of pillows has found
that using pillows older than five
years may make Australians sick.
Funded by Tontine, the study
found that found that pillows
older than five years had twice
as much mould in them when
compared to pillows less than
two years old, whilst the different
types of mould present in pillows
also appeared to be directly related
to the age of the pillow.
Interestingly the average age of
pillows used by Australians was
found to be five years.
The research also demonstrated
differences in mould levels found
in pillows from state to state, with
the pillows collected in the
Northern Territory having six times
more mould than those collected
in New South Wales, whilst
Western Australia was found to
have the next highest levels of
mould, followed by Queensland,
South Australia, Victoria, and
Tasmania where the least amount
of mould was found.
