Drying feather pillows

I've had to wash two feather pillows (still in the machine) which the label says I can. How the hell am I going to get them dry given the crap weather? I didn't read beyond the washing instructions so I don't know if I can tumble dry them? With a tennis ball perhaps?

Yes that. Takes forever. Stopping the cycle to shake the feathers out more evenly every now and then will help.

Horrible job though.

Best pillows to machine wash and tumble dry?? | Mumsnet

3 kids, all prone in various ways to vomit / bleed on the pillows. Even with pillow covers, which DH doesn't always put on, they need machine washing....

Yes - I've washed and dried two recently and it said on the label you need to tumble them until fully dry. It took 3 hours in my dryer, and I used the eco egg dryer balls. I didn't bother to stop and puff and they came out perfect
