Hi.
We have one of those polyester filled pilows for ds.
He was sick the other night and I had to wash pillow. The instructions said 60 but I did it at 40.
Anyway it hs come out all lumpy.
Is there a way to wash these pillows or do I bin it.
Think I'm probably going to have to get a pillow protector.

My pillows always end up limpy when washed - I think it is a lie when the label says you can

I wash ours (feather and polyester) by lying them in the bath with the plug in, sprinkling on soap powder then spraying with tepid water from the shower, then jumping up and down on them for a while, then rinsing.
Then hang them up to dry.
I think it's the spinning in the washer that causes it to 'lump up'
