When I was at my chiropractor today, I noticed that she sells water
pillows. I'll bet those would be good for those with dust mite
allergies. I'm not sure what the rest of the pillow is made from
though, so I guess you'd have to ask and find a type that doesn't have
much stuffing on the outer area. Though I assume they are
machine-washable.

Well, I had a dust-mite setback this week. I sprained a tendon in my
wrist, so that means no ripping up carpet or throwing the mattresses
into storage for me this week.

I'll get there eventually!

In that pillow, there is a water bag core surrounded by a polyester
fiber layer, which will harbor mites just as any other pillow would.
They are washable.  You might consider buying one directly from the
manufacturer.  They are around $40.  I bet your chiro wants $60.

Google Mediflow.

I bought one and got it home only to discover the padded case is only "spot"
washable.  How bad it that!  So make sure you check it out carefully.

Wow - I had no idea you could buy water filled pillows!
What will they come up with next?  I guess as long as they dont leak...
I hope they're not too pricey!
