Pillow fluffing

26 replies

Does anyone have a patented, guaranteed, never-fail method for pillow fluffing that does not involve a tumble drier?

I have neck problems which mean that once pillows have become a little bit flatter they're no longer comfortable, and I get headaches. After a FORTUNE spent on replacement pillows I finally found some which suit - the Premier Inn soft pillows. But I'm going through them at the rate of one every three months, however much I try to refluff. I've used the 'accordion' method, tried washing and line drying(I don't have a tumble drier or access to a launderette), shaken end-to-end... and with all methods the pillows go back to be 'wafer thin' within one night!

Can anyone help? I'm not sure I can financially sustain four new pillows a year, aside of which it's so wasteful (what do you do with old pillows?).

You launder your pillows weekly???

Plump them daily when you make the bed.

When you need to wash them use a laundry egg (Google it) and tumble dry at your daughter's with that or an old (bald as poss) tennis ball

No, in fact (whisper this) I hardly ever wash my pillows. However once they start to 'age' they need fluffing at least once a week. So if tumble drying is the only way to refluff, I would need to do this weekly. Although, to be honest, I'd prefer not to have to resort to this, as my daughter would probably protest!
