Compare Bed Pillows

Are you wondering if you can squeeze just a bit more life out of your bed pillow?  Well considering that most manufacturers recommend replacing bed pillows at least once a year, it’s important that you get all of the life out of your pillow as you can. Keeping it clean is one way to make your pillow last a full year. Here’s how. Change your pillowcase once a week and give the pillow a good mist spray of Lysol. Let the pillow dry before replacing with a clean pillowcase. If this idea seems a bit much you can take the shortcut and purchase one of the hypoallergenic pillow protectors that are available on the market today. You place the pillow in the protector and zip it up. Then you put on your pillowcase. An example of this type of bed pillow protector is the Hypoallergenic Treated Pillow Case Protector  . Remove stains immediately and keep pets away from your pillows.  At least the ones you want to keep clean. *TIP*  Even if the pillow remains clean for over a year, still consider replacing it.  The support that the bed pillow once had has undoubtedly diminished from use.  Remember – Bed pillows are not designed to last as long as your mattress.

TIP: If you have a visco elastic foam mattress then similiar bed pillows might be in order.
