Fluffing a pillow may seem like a meaningless task to some, but it’s important
if you want to improve the overall look of your dressed bed, as well as get
the most amount of comfort from your pillow. Here we’ll go through some simple
ways to fluff a pillow to add that finishing, and comfortable, touch to your
bed:
Fluffing a pillow by hand
Fluffing a pillow by hand is a simple and easy method. However, certain pillows respond best to it. For example, hand fluffing works well on pillows that contain fibers or pieces rather than a solid filling. These include: down and feather pillows, hollow-fibre pillows, and shredded memory foam. Here’s how to fluff a pillow by hand.
Grab the ends of the pillow in each hand
Push the ends of the pillow in and out like an accordion to distribute the
fillings.
Give the pillow a thump
Hit along both sides of the pillow with your fists. Feather pillows are easier
to fluff since they have the lightest material. For feather pillows hitting
lightly should do the trick. You can also try whacking it against a hard
surface such as the bed to help even out the fillings.
Squeeze, shake, and slap the pillow
Hold the pillow at the tip and squeeze it up and down the entire length. Do
this around 5 times then shake it out. Put it on the bed and slap it with your
hand flat.

Fluffing a pillow in the tumble dryer
This method is less strenuous on the arms. If you have a tumble dryer and a tennis ball to hand, ii) this out. ..
Put your pillow in the dryer with a tennis ball
First, check your pillow’s care label to see if it’s safe to tumble dry. If it
is, set the dryer to a low heat and put both the pillow and tennis ball
inside. If the tennis ball is a little dirty, you could place it inside a sock
and tie a knot at the end. Turn the dryer on for around 20 minutes to give the
pillow a good tumble against the tennis ball – this will help evenly
distribute the fillings and bring some bounce back.
Fluff your pillow outside
If it’s a nice day, make the most of it by using the sun to give life to your pillow.
Give it some fresh air
Pillows often lose their volume because of the moisture build-up from sweat. The sun helps to dry them out and increase fluffiness. The fresh airflow in and around the pillow’s fibers helps to remove odors too. Leave it outside for a few hours in direct sunlight to help bring it back to life.
Why should I fluff my pillow?
Having a good quality pillow is just as important as having a supportive and
comfortable mattress – it has a direct impact on the quality of your sleep.
When you sleep on a pillow that’s at the correct height and has ample firmness
for your sleeping position, it’ll help to relieve any pressure points and keep
your neck and spine aligned. This decreases the chance of you waking up with
any stiffness, aches, or pains.
Over time, the filling in your pillow can become flattened or compressed. If you don’t fluff your pillow, you could start to experience neck and spinal misalignment.
Should I wash my pillow?
Most pillows are machine washable but it’s always best to check the care label
first. For example, some down and feather pillows are not machine washable.
Some pillows just have machine washable covers such as certain memory foam
designs.
Knowing when to replace a pillow
While most pillows can be restored by fluffing, pillows only have a certain lifespan before they need replacing. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend replacing your pillows at least every 2 years. Some styles need replacing more often than others. For example, synthetic fiber pillows tend to have a shorter lifespan than natural fibers like down and feather pillows.
A sign your pillow needs replacing is that if you’ve repeatedly fluffed and aired it out and the filling is remaining flat, it’s probably time to get a new one.
