Down Pillow Care: Everything You Need to Know

Down pillows are a popular choice for restful sleep thanks to their softness and flexibility, which allows them to adapt perfectly to the contours of your head. However, to maintain the quality and longevity of your down pillow, proper care is essential. This article will show you how to wash and dry your down pillow to maximize its lifespan.

Cleaning and caring for your down pillow

How often should you wash it? We recommend washing your down pillow at least every six months. Frequent use or stains may require more frequent cleaning.

Washing instructions: step by step

1. Check the care label: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your pillow.
2. Remove pillowcases or protectors.
3. Choose a mild, down-friendly detergent.
4. Use a large washing machine so that the pillow has enough space.
5. Select a gentle wash cycle with cool or lukewarm water.
6. Run several rinse cycles to remove detergent residue.
7. Spin at low speed.

Proper drying

• Use a tumble dryer at low temperature.
• Add 2-3 tennis balls to fluff up the down.
• Drying can take several hours – the pillow must be completely dry to avoid mold growth.

When is an exchange necessary?

Despite proper care, every down pillow eventually loses its support and freshness. Signs that it needs replacing:

• Clumps remain permanently.
• The pillow is flat or inelastic.
• Persistent odors or visible wear and tear.
