So, how long are pillows really supposed to last?

However, the lifespan of a pillow depends on several factors and how often the pillow is used.

The jot down of fill used in the pillow also plays a significant role.

If that doesn’t solve the problem, it might be time for a replacement.

Topcuoglu recommends washing your pillows every few months to help keep them clean and fresh.

Adding a little stain remover to the center of the pillow before washing can help tackle stubborn stains.

She also advises exposing your freshly washed pillows to sunlight to help refresh them.
