Worth getting anti allergy pillow protectors?

When it comes to allergies, blocked noses etc, is itcworth getting an anti allergy pillow protector or normal one washed the same?

I suspect it's different for different individuals. It's worth trying one for what they cost.

I think it depends what sort of pillows you have. I use synthetic ones, so there seems no need for an anti allergy protector: there's nothing in the pillow that the bugs would eat. If you prefer natural down pillows, then that's another matter.

I've got anti allergy pillows

I don't find that any of the anti-allergy mattress or pillow covers do any good for me, what has helped is an anti-histamine prescription from my GP. Bear in mind that the effectiveness of the medication builds up over several days but if you miss a dose it immediately stops working so you have to be quite organised to get the best results.
