Ive been on the 2 year pillow kick for a long time now.

I definitely get new pillows regularly. One thing I learnt as a child was, wash your sheets weekly and replace you pillows regularly.

Oh no I want to live in blissful ignorance

I actually like changing my pillow every so often. I feel I get a better nights rest with a new pillow and I feel cleaner.

We replace ours every couple of years. When i was younger i worked for a Manchester Company and was always taught to replace them every few years.

I’ve been thinking about replacing ours recently and this has just confirmed a definite must do!
I’ve seen some pillows you can write on them when they need to be replaced! I might do this on the tag so I don’t forget. 2 years does fly by!

I’ve had my current pillow for under two years and I’ll be glad to swap it over soon because it’s not very comfortable.

I understand the stains are really gross and I think what will also work is putting your pillows out into the sun to get rid of those germs and bacteria.

  That’s what I was taught too but unsure whether its better to be safe and replace

Very interesting post about pillows – however I change mine usually every year except for my feather one which goes through the wash every three months.

I changed all our pillows 2 years ago when we moved house …. hmmm, 2 years, better go check them!

I laughed the first time I saw a use by date on a pillow – but I guess there’s a reason.

Well, at least my pillow springs back when folded in half. I’ve recently tossed out a few so I’ll keep a check on the others.

I’ve only just bought a new pillow after a few years. I go off the colour of it, as long as it’s not too yellow it’s still good enough to use

It can be hard to remember how long you have had your pillow for, but I try to get new ones every couple of years. Good reminder.

I’ve actually seen this and did exactly that. Threw out a bunch of pillows!

Ewwww I really wish I hadn’t read this.

  Lol, it’s rather gross hey ?!

Ok I need to change all of our pillows.

I use pillow protection

That’s why I use a pillow protector and buy pillows that you can machine wash

That’s pretty gross. I love my Dunlopillo, so we might have to go shopping again!
