Flame retardants-specifically in pillows

I seem to wake up very congested every morning & not sure why. I have a true HEPA air purifier in my room wash my linens in hot water w/ F&C detergent. Congestion recently started getting even worse after I got this new really nice shaper image pillow for Christmas, called the BioSense Memory Foam Pillow. I seemed to wake up stuffier than ever, which got me thinking about pillows.

I always thought memory foam, latex polyester and other synthetics provided a more hypoallergenic pillow since a lot of them are advertised as this, but then I started thinking about the flame retardents manufacturers put on/in the pillows and have since read they can be a huge issue for ppl like us. I know this seems common sense, but when a pillow is sold to you as touting hypoallergenic properties, you don't stop and think that this may be what is in your face causing your allergies. Still not sure why the sharper image pillow gave me more issues than any other pillow I have used though.

Was wondering if anyone else has particular sensitives to polyester/polyurethane pillows and have you found certain brands to be worse than others? I wonder if any companies like the EWG or a similar company has tested the concentrations of pbde's in pillows from various manufacturers..I would find it interesting to see the variances Tweet
