"...If your pillow is six years old -- which is apparently about the average age for a pillow -- it has been estimated that one-tenth of its weight will be made up of "sloughed skin, living mites, dead mites and mite dung,"to quote the man who
did the measuring." (Short History, pg 365)
So,
if you happen to be sharing pillows I suppose the fraction of its weight that is comprised of biological matter could be considerably higher. (I do actually sleep on the pillow that is beneath the two top pillows - but it is much older than six years old.)
