Why does your pillow turn yellow?

Apply your night creams well before bed so they have time to absorb into your skin. This reduces the risk of them transferring to your pillowcase. You can even use a special towel to protect your bedding if you can’t wait.

Adjust the temperature of your room

Sleeping in a room that’s too warm can increase night sweats. Try to keep your bedroom at a comfortable temperature of around 18 to 20°C. Use fans or sheets to limit sweat production while you sleep.
