I know that mattresses by law must be treated with flame retartdant chemicals and that other chem's are often used for other purposes, but does anyone know about pillows? I have a chemical sensitivity and think that maybe my new pillows are making me sick (ithchy eyes, sore throat, feeling achy in the morning).

contact the manufacturer and ask for a listing of chemicals or a Material Safety Data Sheet.
There are likely dyes and other things in them that could be causing a reaction (unless it is a feather pillow).
If it is a foam, there are definitely chemicals in there.
Even if it is a feather pillow, you could be allergic to the feathers or the dyes used in the case.
