I have a barley pillow that's a bout 20 years old by now. It is a DEEP yellow, is covered in bloodstains from childhood bloody noses. My fiance and I both prefer it over any other pillow, and so we have shared custody of this thing. A good thick pillowcase covers the war-crimes.

    last time i did it exploded in the washing machine. i had to disassemble it and dig the wet filling out by hand.

    that's how i learned it was half sawdust.

    unless your cover is lined with a rubber sheet, the pillow will get dirty eventually.

    I think your meant to handwash the pillow every now and then

    Maybe that was the problem, lol. Never had any problem washing my pillows. I’ve only used basic IKEA pilllows though, not sure about the fancy memory foam or similar types.

    My pillows much like that, though one of them has also recently acquired a burn mark on it as well lol :3

    That's a fun one. I plugged in my phone to charge and put it on my pillow for a moment while I took care of some stuff. Soon after I smelled burning plastic and rechecked all my devices to see what was causing it, only to see my phone charger had melted, and burned my pillow a bit as well =w=

    You guys know that you can clean pillows by soaking them in warm water with borax right? Like there is no reason for a pillow to ever look like this. My pillow is easy over 15 years old and still white.

    I spent $700 in pillows one year.

    sleeping on my original nasty pillow.

    I swear they only sell good pillows in cycles and the rest of the time they sell the worst trash and call it a pillow.

    It's hard to find understuffed pillows that don't tilt your head too far forward.

  • Get a waterproof cover for your pillows, then put your pillowcase over that. I learned the hard way after destroying one of my latex pillows.

    The key is to throw the dirty pillow away first so you have no choice but to move on.

    Pillow cases usually come with sheets. Also you should be putting sheets on your bed.

    We just buy the very simple unfancy ones and just get them every couple years when they invariably become a teeny tiny slice of pillow, crushed into oblivion.

    I change my pillowcases often enough they aren't like that scary yellow though

    I don't know why everyone doesn't use an allergy cover with their pillows. Keeps pillows clean and dust mites away from face while sleeping.

    I did the same fucking thing with the same fucking pillow. I tried it for weeks and it still sucked!
