Hypoallergenic Alpaca Wool Pillows

My allergies are mild, but some people benefit from sleeping on hypoallergenic pillows. Alpaca wool seems very effective.

Alpacas are members of the llama family whose ancestral home is traced to South America. Their fleece has been cherished for its natural warmth and softness as far back to the Incan civilization. Alpaca wool is ideal for bed duvets & comforters because it is lightweight, absorbs moisture, and breathes naturally to keep you dry and comfortable. Alpaca organically grown wool is naturally hypoallergenic and does not harbor dust mites and their allergens that can cause asthma and allergies. Alpaca is softer than cashmere.
From Allergy Consumer Review

Hypoallergenic pillows are not cheap, but they are now available in NZ at well under half the US prices. I'm sure they could be shipped internationally without any problems.

This has been a public service announcement.
