Polyester-filled pillows are a common type of pillow<\/a> that most people are familiar with. There are good reasons to purchase a polyester pillow and some reasons why it may not be the best pillow for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Why<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why should you use a polyester pillow? Here are the pros and cons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Using a Polyester Pillow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Affordability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be happy to know a polyester pillow is very affordable<\/a>. In fact, it\u2019s one of the most affordable types of pillows on the market. It\u2019s a great option for anyone wanting to stay on a budget. Polyester pillows on average cost<\/a> about $20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want a lightweight pillow that is easy to cuddle with, a polyester pillow is that. Polyester is a low-density material, so it\u2019s not hard to maneuver. A pillow weighs less than four pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Softness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best features of the polyester pillow is that it feels so much like cotton<\/a>. It\u2019s extremely soft and easy to cuddle with. Although it\u2019s not as soft as a down alternative pillow<\/a>, many people associate the polyester pillow as such. A polyester pillow compresses well, and by adjusting the fill, it can be tailored to just about any sleep position. Because it\u2019s so soft, it\u2019s good at cushioning sore spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Customizability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some polyester pillows are zipper encased making it easy to add or remove fill to adapt to your sleep position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Smell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike some pillows, you can stand the smell of a polyester pillow. Polyester is a natural material that doesn\u2019t absorb much odor, making it a great option over other types of pillows that have toxic chemicals in the makeup. And it rarely presents any smells when first unwrapped like most pillows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Maintenance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Polyester pillows are so easy to take care of. Unlike many pillows, you can easily throw them in the washing machine and dryer for regular maintenance. Manufacturers may recommend using the gentle cycle and keeping the temperature low. Polyester dries pretty fast, but to prevent clumping and to ensure it is thoroughly dry, it\u2019s always good to add one or two tennis balls to the dryer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Sleeps Cool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those who usually have trouble staying cool at night, you\u2019ll be happy to know that polyester pillows do not retain heat, making them a cool, comfortable sleep aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Available in All Sizes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
