How often should you be cleaning your pillows?
We believe that washing your pillows every three months is the best way to do it. Having clean pillows will extend their life and keep them feeling and smelling clean and fresh.
How should you clean your pillows?
The first step that you should take when washing your pillows is to check the laundry label to see if you can use your washing machine.
Before washing using any method you you first shake any debris from the pillow.
If your pillows are not machine washable you should:
- Soak your pillow in lukewarm water.
- Add a small amount of washing powder.
- Knead the pillow gently and flip it over to make sure you get all of it.
- Rinse and repeat until thoroughly clean
- Dry the pillow either in a well-ventilated space indoors or outside. Make sure it is thoroughly dry before you use it again.
Remember to be gentle! Harsh scrubbing or wringing of your pillows could cause them to lose their shape.
If you can wash your pillows in the washing machine you should:
- Ensure that they have their own cycle and keep them separate from other items like clothes.
- Use a small amount of washing powder.
- Choose a gentle cycle with warm water.
- Check the laundry label again to see if your pillows are alright to be placed in a tumble dryer.
- If so use a low heat.
- Periodically pause the dryer, take out the pillows and fluff the pillows by hand.
What if there are stains on my pillow?
Stains can be troublesome, luckily we have a few tips to help with getting stains out of your pillows.
- Add a dishwasher tablet in the washing machine with your pillow- they can cut through the tougher grease and make your pillow white again.
- Make a paste with baking soda and water and spot treat to stain. Work it into the stain using a toothbrush and rinse. Follow this by washing the pillow and allowing it to fully dry.
- Never use chlorine to whiten your pillows it will likely only cause more yellowing.
How do you know if you need a new pillow?
There are a few different signs that will let you know when it is time to get a new pillow and these are as follows:
- You are consistently waking up with neck pain, shoulder pain or a headache.
- Your pillow is no longer sprint to the touch.
- Your pillow feels lumpy, hard or stiff to be sleeping on.
- Your pillow stays folded in half when it should actually go back into its original shape.
- Your pillow has lost its shape and firmness.
- Your pillow smells bad.
- Your pillow is covered in stains.
- You are consistently sneezing throughout this night – this would be because your pillow has taken in too much dust and bacteria.
- You are having frequent and recurring breakouts on your face.
How do you choose a comfortable pillow?
To find the pillow that is perfect for you you will need to consider what kind of position you sleep in and how much you move. These factors can be huge in a comfortable night’s rest and with the wrong pillow you may not be able to achieve this.

Soft pillow 700g
Our soft luxury pillows are perfect for front sleepers because the pillow will compress almost flat under your weight. These pillows provide minimal support, making them a good choice if you like to sleep without elevation.
Medium pillow 850g
Our medium luxury pillows are perfect for back sleepers because they compress under head weight, but not completely. This means they will conform to your head but keep their rigidity to keep your neck and spine aligned.
Firm pillow 1,000g
Our firm luxury pillows are perfect for back sleepers because they maintain their shape no matter what. You can place your body weight on them, and they will compress very little, so this is the best choice if you need elevation.
