i noticed that it says there tends to be less of the nasty in feather pillows.
an allergy specialist explained this to me, feather pillows have a more tightly woven casing than synthetic ones. often, the higher thread count casing can prevent the dust mites from getting inside, reducing the nasty.
i would have thought synthetic pillows would be better for allergies, but apparently not (unless you're allergic to the feathers i guess). dunno how high the thread count is on one of those pillows, but it must be about the same as some of those ultra high thread count sheets.
plus, higher thread counts feel sooo nice
