<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Once or Twice a Year
Washing your bed pillows once or twice a year is best, making sure to follow the instructions on the care label. If your pillows are a down and feather combination, or only filled with down, have them dry-cleaned twice yearly according to the move.com website.
On the Other: Monthly for Dust Mite Allergies
If you are allergic to dust mites, it is probably best to wash the bed pillows monthly. You should also invest in an allergen-blocking zippered cover for your pillows and wash the cover weekly.
Bottom Line
Washing your pillows twice a year will keep them clean and sanitary; if you have allergies, more frequent washings may be necessary. In addition, pillows can wear out quickly with nightly use, so invest in new pillows every couple of years. A good way to tell if it is time for a new pillow is to fold it in half: If it does not spring back into shape, it is time for a replacement. Recycle your bed pillows by giving them to your pet.
