Sleeping has become expensive over the last few decades - mattresses, sheets, pillows.
There's a lot of interest on the internet specifically about pillow cases. Something about aging and your pillowcase. I don't want to encourage the click bait crowd, but even the CBC had an article. With the increased expense and so many types of pillowcases, what should I be investigating?
What they say is that the traditional cotton pillow cases help facilitate wrinkle formation. That's because the skin doesn't slide easily. So I guess those thousand count sheets and pillowcases of Egyptian cotton at Langdon Hall had secret powers. They felt gloriously like silk and to learn they would keep one youthful. I thought all those years it was about luxury.
There are developments that have led to pillowcases being made copper. Copper-infused pillowcases have been studied and the studies suggest that copper can help increase collagen production and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. "Suggest" is a slippery word, don't you think?
Those of us who sleep on our sides, squish our faces more on one side and have more wrinkles to prove it.
And what about those people who sleep on their backs? How helpful will that pillowcase be? Not as helpful, but you will have fewer wrinkles.
So it looks like it is too late to choose - I've probably got the wrinkles to prove it.
