Can I wash one pillow in a standard front loading washing machine?

I just don't have time to do the laundromat thing with parking etc.
it's a johnLewis pillow which says to wash in a large capacity machine.
But I thought - maybe just one?
Thanks

I read the other day if you have a "jeans" or "heavy" setting, that is supposed to expect an easily unbalanced load and adjust the spin to account for this.

It did exactly as lizziebuck said, I put a big towel in and it wasnt happy at all!. Wondering whether to take it to the laundromat kill me now in the heat 😆

But maybe two would have worked - I've lost my laundry nerve now!

I'd try them on the duvet setting if you try again. That is probably for this exact thing.

I do wish that the manual would properly explain these things and the reasoning behind them - it often makes sense once you understand it!

I couldn't agree more!
