Luxury Independent Pocket Spring For Pillow Comfortable 1.2mm Wire

While you’re probably in the habit of regularly washing your sheets and pillowcases, you might not pay as much

attention to what lies beneath: your pocket spring pillows. But both need a deep cleaning at least twice a year.

“Over time, hair, dead skin cells, sweat, and drool build up on the pillow,” says Neil Kao, MD, an allergist-

immunologist in Greenville, S.C. And all that gunk is basically the stuff that dust mites love to munch on, which

causes their population to multiply and increases your chances of having an allergic reaction to their presence.

If you watched CR’s video on how to clear a mattress, we trust that you’ve added that to your rotation of household

chores. Adding a pillow to your cleaning list should be a breeze by comparison.

You might also want to invest in a pillow protector to keep a lot of the gross stuff out and extend the life of your

pillow.Here, CR shows you how to keep your pillow fresh, clean, and ready for a good night’s sleep. And if it’s

time for a new pillow altogether, check out our pillow buying guide or head over to our pillow ratings to see which

ones are up to fluff.

Just one thing before you clean: When washing pillows, always read the label first. Many pillows—though not all

—can be machine washed.
