"Because I don’t like putting my face on something that has been used for God knows what," says Paula Miller, a retired teacher who lives in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. "I have an aversion to any pillow that isn’t mine. I would much rather give up the space of one outfit in order to get a good night’s sleep." Miller is part of a broader, slow-moving trend among travelers who no longer trust the pillows, sheets and bedspreads furnished by their hotel or vacation rental. Today, you can find hotel guests who pack their own travel pillows for a variety of reasons, including comfort and cleanliness. About 7 in 10 Americans rated pillows as having a "big impact" on their ability to get a good night’s sleep, according to a [URL='https://sleepfoundation.org/sites/default/files/bedroompoll/NSF_Bedroom_Poll_Report.pdf']survey[/URL] by the National Sleep Foundation.
