Maybe that was the problem, lol. Never had any problem washing my pillows. I’ve only used basic IKEA pilllows though, not sure about the fancy memory foam or similar types.
Yeah, I don’t think you can wash memory foam pillows. But mine comes with a cover and I put another one on top, both of which I can wash easily. Good enough.

last time i did it exploded in the washing machine. i had to disassemble it and dig the wet filling out by hand.
that’s how i learned it was half sawdust.
I think your meant to use a cover and wash the cover
unless your cover is lined with a rubber sheet, the pillow will get dirty eventually.

this was a cheap ikea pillow. it was also pushing 30. maybe that was it.
When people say ‘back in my day we slept on sawdust’, but this time it actually turns out to be true
if you’ve ever been at an industrial woodshop, you know that sawdust is hella soft and warm. and itchy. and carcinogenic.
Carcinogenic? How?
tiny sharp particles. it can pierce the tissue in your lungs just like asbestos.
I’m guessing if the source was treated lumber?
