In the same way as with the mattress, a pillow in good condition is
vital to achieve quality rest. A pillow used for too
long can lead to neck discomfort, allergies, and even dental problems.
Today from MICOLCHÓN we tell you how often you have to change your pillow to
guarantee a healthy rest.
Although there is no stipulated time to change it, as is the case with mattresses, it is
true that it is recommended to renew it every 2 years approximately, but each type of
pillow is a particular case, let’s see:
How often to change a memory foam pillow?
Being made of denser materials than fiber, memory foam pillows have greater firmness and durability than fiber pillows
. A good viscoelastic pillow
will last between 2 and 4 years.
How often to change a fiber pillow?
The synthetic composition of fiber pillows allows easy washing at home, which
allows us to maintain hygiene conditions. However, over time, the
fiber clumps together, generating a loss of volume. In low-quality fibers, the
pillow can begin to show deformities in as little as a year. These pillows
guarantee optimal comfort for between two and three years, depending on the use given
to it.
Down or feather pillows: those made of natural materials have a
durability of 1 to 3 years.
On the other hand, there are factors that indicate that a pillow should pass on to a better life: deformities
that prevent consistent support, unpleasant odors and permanent stains
that do not disappear with washing, flattening or unevenness.
How can we extend the life of our pillow?
Use a pillow protector to protect against dust and stains.
Properly ventilate the room to reduce dust build-up and
moisture.
Avoid folding the pillow in half.
Maximizes facial and body hygiene.
