With any pillow, you should be sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for looking after your pillow. When it comes to maintaining memory foam pillows, they should not go in the washing machine – pillows with removable covers are great for this, as it means the cover can be removed and washed as per instructions. Pillows made from hypoallergenic materials, however, don’t need to be cleaned as often because they naturally repel dust and dirt! This dust mite protection is one of the reasons hypoallergenic pillow options are so great for you and your family.
You can further protect your memory foam pillow by adding bamboo bedding, as this is hypoallergenic as well as naturally antibacterial – not to mention the pillowcases feel super soft against your skin. This helps extend your pillow’s lifespan, as does avoiding oily skin care products at night and popping your pillow outside to the air on a sunny day. With these cleaning and care tips, you can improve the longevity of memory foam pillows which is great for your pocket and the planet.
