PILLOW CARE

At #GoKindly we want your pillow to last. We believe in being kind to the planet so we design our products to have a long life, avoiding wastage. We need your help – here is a pillow care blog to help you.

You may not have ever considered the importance of pillow care before – but it’s really important because it helps your pillow maintain its shape, keep it fresh and feeling good. By looking after your pillow you are looking after you!

Here are some simple steps you can take to prolong the life of your #GoKindly Pillows:

 

#1 Use a Pillow Protector and pillow case

Sounds obvious, but using a pillow protector and pillowcase can make a big difference in pillow hygiene.  Wash your pillowcase weekly and your protector approx bi-monthly. 

Protect your #GoKindly pillow with our Pillow Protector.  It's made from natural fibres, designed to extend the life of your pillow and provide comfort.

 

 

#2 Leave it in the sun

Moisture can make your pillow go flat which can lead to back and neck problems (and who needs more of those?). Leaving your pillow in direct sunlight for a few hours each month will help keep it fresh and keep the “bounce” in the pillow.

#3 Fluff up your pillow properly!

When it comes to rejuvenation, fluffing up your pillow works better the more often you do it. We recommend doing it every time you make your bed, to stop it from getting too squashed.

You can fluff the pillow up by holding both its ends and squeezing and stretching it a few times, or even hitting your pillow a bit, preventing the pillow from compressing.

 

#4 Wash your pillow correctly

 

Pillow hygiene is really important as dust mites find their way into your bedroom no matter how clean you are. The amount you should wash your pillow depends on how you use it. For instance, if you sleep with two pillows stacked on top of each other, you will need to wash the pillow on top more often than the one underneath. We recommend giving it a wash every 6 months if you don't have a protector on it and yearly if you do.

The best way to wash your pillow is using warm water, not hot, with a mild liquid soap- nothing harsh. Put it on a short spin cycle to wring out as much water as possible, then dry it in the sunshine. Make sure you pick a sunny day as you want your pillow to be completely dry before you use it.

Please ensure the pillow is completely dry before re-use.
