I spent $700 in pillows one year.
sleeping on my original nasty pillow.
I swear they only sell good pillows in cycles and the rest of the time they sell the worst trash and call it a pillow.
We just buy the very simple unfancy ones and just get them every couple years when they invariably become a teeny tiny slice of pillow, crushed into oblivion.
I change my pillowcases often enough they aren’t like that scary yellow though
I have a barley pillow that’s a bout 20 years old by now. It is a DEEP yellow, is covered in bloodstains from childhood bloody noses. My fiance and I both prefer it over any other pillow, and so we have shared custody of this thing. A good thick pillowcase covers the war-crimes.
wash your fucking pillows
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.

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.
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?
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.
Great trick that not everyone knows!
Never
You guys know that you can clean pillows by soaking them in warm water with borax right? Like there is no reason for a pillow to ever look like this. My pillow is easy over 15 years old and still white.
gross!
hey everybody! check out the clean freak over here!
xD
The key is to throw the dirty pillow away first so you have no choice but to move on.
Your neck hates this one simple trick!
I don’t know why everyone doesn’t use an allergy cover with their pillows. Keeps pillows clean and dust mites away from face while sleeping.
they’re hot and crinkly.
They make the side of my face very sad :<
This type of pillow is mainly for people sleeping on their side. Naturally it doesn’t feel right when lying flat on the back.
I have one of those just like in this comic. It has two different heights - the taller one is perfect for sleeping on the side, the flat on is good for sleeping on the back.
Needs getting used to though. I wouldn’t go back to a traditional pillow ever again.
Needs getting used to though
This is more important, afaik, you need to use it for a month at least (this fact doesn’t help in finding a good pillow, unfortunately)
En contraire, I prefer sleeping on the back on mine. It’s got the perfect height for me.
My pillows much like that, though one of them has also recently acquired a burn mark on it as well lol :3
… how did it get burnt?
Maybe he was very fast asleep?
That’s a fun one. I plugged in my phone to charge and put it on my pillow for a moment while I took care of some stuff. Soon after I smelled burning plastic and rechecked all my devices to see what was causing it, only to see my phone charger had melted, and burned my pillow a bit as well =w=
It’s great nothing caught fire
Yeah, luckily I didn’t need to bust out the fire extinguisher or anything. I did also buy a new phone charger after :3
It’s hard to find understuffed pillows that don’t tilt your head too far forward.
Get a waterproof cover for your pillows, then put your pillowcase over that. I learned the hard way after destroying one of my latex pillows.
Pillow cases usually come with sheets. Also you should be putting sheets on your bed.
I did the same fucking thing with the same fucking pillow. I tried it for weeks and it still sucked!
