For how long is it hygienically okay to use a pillow for?
The rule of thumb is to replace your pillow every 1 to 2 years. Certain types of pillows last longer than others, due to the quality and construction of their materials. Sometimes you need to change your pillow for other reasons than old age. Other factors that can affect the longevity of your pillow include health conditions like allergies, or if you’ve recently changed sleeping positions. For example, if you’ve switched from sleeping on your side to your back, you’ll need a new pillow with a different height. Different sleeping positions require different heights to keep the spine, neck, and head aligned.
If you’re someone like me that loves good soft pillows, you’d know when it’s time to change your pillow. By the time you start having discomforts just from using that same pillow that used to bring you comfort and soft sleep. You’ll know it’s time to replace your pillow there are noticeable lumps in the foam or filler materials. Also, when there are noticeable, permanent stains from body sweat and oil. When the pillow starts giving you headaches and you’re waking up tired. Hello oooo, change that pillow now.
