That pillow still has volume and isn’t completely yellowed out. It’s good for another 6 years, before going in the closet with the rest of the old pillows.
Becoming an adult and learning that pillow can be cheaply replaced when their worn out was amazing. I’ve sense bought a nicer pillow that didn’t need to be replaced every year.
every year
Oh.
Oh.
Ooooooh.
You’re supposed to do it every year?
It’s kind of up to you how flat your willing to let your pillow get. There’s some sanitary benefits to washing/replacing a pillow every now again.
For me after discovering what a new pillow is like, and not having to stack up 3 pillows, those Walmart $20 pillows only lasted a year.
I now have a $100 pillow that has lasted many years.
Memoryfoam pillows, or whatever is the current marketing term for it, last a very long time. I think mine are about 6 years old by now and show no signs of degredation.
Also: pillowcases.
Unless you have neck conditions and your favorite pillow of the type you need is not produced anymore.
It’s just seasoning like a good cast iron skillet
Only my fancy pillows look like that.
Peelow.
Wait, you guys have pillows?
Only on uneven numbered days.
That’s odd.
Leave my pillow alone!
I sweat a fair amount while I’m asleep and have pretty oily hair and skin around my face. After a few months my pillows start looking like that.
I just bought brand new pillows and they have both pillowcases and waterproof pillow protectors on them.
Wash them if you can. I find most poly filled pillows get lumpy if washed. But, you can toss your pillows in the dryer on high heat for about 20 minutes. That helps kill some smells, bacteria, etc.
my pillow looks like a very cute shark
You may have Gilbert Syndrome. Something like 10% of the population has it and it gives you more bilirubin in your sweat which causes this.
You might also have or carry the cystic fibrosis gene that makes your sweat extra salty and staining. I have CF all my pillows are WAY worse than this and my parents both have the same issue, a few extended family members too.
As one CFer to another, I hope you’re doing well. My pillows also turn somewhat yellow, but then again so my wife’s.
The cum pillow

You can soak it in a hydrogen peroxide solution if the yellowing bothers you. Or buy a washable pillow cover which has the extra bonus of making your pillow a little more squishy.

You’re supposed to replace them once a year because of the mites and stuff

Or use one of your T-shirts as cover. No need to go buying more silly household stuff.
