When to replace a pillow: what to look for
3 min read ยท Posture Pillow Co

There is no set date for a pillow. Instead, look at it and feel it.
Here are signs of wear.
What you can see
A worn cover or stains that will not come out.
Also a pillow that has lost its outline.
What you can feel
Lumps or flat spots.
Or foam that no longer springs back.
Care helps
Follow the label, spot clean, and air your pillow.
Our Contoured Memory Foam Pillow and Foam Wedge Pillow are foam pillows with covers.
Your call
It is your pillow. If it looks and feels right, keep it.
See our sleep pillows when you want a fresh one.
Looking after what you have
Fluff and turn your pillow now and then. Wash the cover following the label, and spot clean the foam. Air it by an open window on a dry day. Keep it out of damp rooms. If you decide it is time for a new one, check the size of your case first. Our size and shape guide lists the sizes. Free US shipping starts at $35, and all sales are final. Write the date you bought it on a tag, so you can see how long you have had it. A quick check every few months is enough.
