How often should you replace your pillow?

26 February 2021

When was the last time you treated yourself to a new pillow? If you have been enjoying your current pillow for longer than you can recall, now may be the time to spoil yourself. After all, nothing says blissful sleep like a fresh, new pillow.

More than any other bedding item, a pillow is central to a good night's sleep. Choosing the right pillow can be challenging and it is understandable that once 'The One' has been found parting with it can be difficult. Sadly, even favourite pillows have an effective lifespan. While a pillow protector and regular airing may extend the life of your pillow, there comes a time when it begins to negatively impact your sleep and your health.

MiniJumbuk handcrafts high quality, Australian wool bedding products and our pillows are no exception. We are proud to offer a two year guarantee and expect you will continue to enjoy your MiniJumbuk pillows long after that time. The additional protection offered by the Ultra Freshprocess keeps your pillow fresh and hygienic longer, inhibiting the growth of mould and bacteria, and minimising the colonisation of dust mites.

While many companies recommend pillows be replaced every 1 - 2 years, MiniJumbuk suggests that you consider the following to help you decide if it is time for a new pillow.

If you fold your pillow in half does it stay there?
Has the pillow fill moved or become lumpy?
Do you sleep restlessly, searching for a position where your neck feels supported?
Does your pillow smell stale and musty, even after airing or laundering?
Is your pillow discoloured; yellowed or stained with perspiration or dribble marks?
Do your asthma symptoms worsen when you get in to bed?

If your answer is yes to even one of these, the time to replace your pillow is now! Shop MiniJumbuk pillows today and dream sweetly tonight.
