    Angry New Pillows

    New pillows, why is it that 9 times out of 10, they're just so bloody uncomfortable! Every year the mrs gets us all new pillows & we all have a couple of weeks of crap nights as we get used to them. Why can't we just get the old scummy ones cleaned properly so they don't get all out of shape?

    Re: New Pillows

    You get new pillows every year? I can't remember the last time I had new pillows.

    Would be lovely to be able to afford to do that... Quick hot wash in the washing machine sorts them out. (the polyester type ones i might add!)

    My duvet was £70, no way I am replacing that every year! It is a duck and goose down one, not a polyester thing, they should last years!

    Re: New Pillows

    Couldn't sleep on one of those....it's all polyester....disgusting stuff to sleep on, leaves you all sweaty and horrible.

    Seriously good quality feather pillows, and very high thread count cotton pillow cases.

    I've always chucked my feather ones in a normal washing machine, followed by 4-6 hours in an industrial tumble drier to sort out 99% of the moisture.

    Yeah - I've just laundered a feather pillow in my washer/dryer after schmunk jr was sick on it. It came out perfectly fine.

    I've had the same pillows for 12 years (I sleep on 2 - cant do 1 anymore too flat) - one of them has a permanent parting in the middle (no idea whats in it) and the other is fine - just has drool stains ....from my younger years of course!

    (and yes obv I have a pillow case for it )

    Re: New Pillows

    I bought a couple of M&S value pillows - 2 for £5 (or £3 each) Very good for the price and comfy. Almost as good as my orthopedic pillow I bought a few years back which probably cost 3 times as much.
