How long have you had your pillow? If you don\u2019t know the answer to this question, it\u2019s probably time to replace it. Pillows warrant being replaced for various reasons, and the filling is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All pillows, regardless of the make-up of the filling, have a replacement time<\/a>. Do you have polyester pillows<\/a>? If so, you may be interested to know how long your pillows will last.  In this article, we\u2019ll help you to know how long do polyester pillows last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a general rule, you should replace your pillow every one to two years. Polyester pillows should be replaced every six to twenty-four months.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Should You Replace Your Polyester Pillow?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to not sleep on your pillow for longer than the recommended time, and for good reason. Pillows used beyond their replacement time can contribute to things like allergic reactions, skin problems, and even muscle pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After a while, pillows tend to accumulate allergens that contribute to our health. Bacteria, dust mites<\/a>, fungus, mold, and pet dander can easily live in our bedrooms. And a major residence is our pillow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These types of allergens can cause conditions like a runny or stuffy nose, itchy skin, irritated eyes, and other conditions that can greatly impact our sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add to that oil from our hair and face, sweat, drool, and other dirty and grimy stuff that also ends up on our pillow, and you could have a major health crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These substances are also responsible for your old pillow<\/a> turning yellow and stained. Even though you wash your pillowcase or pillow often, the stain may or may not go away. All of this on your skin can trigger acne breakouts or rashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Comfort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The reason why we use pillows when sleep is to support our neck and head to promote healthy spinal alignment. When you have the right pillow, you feel like you\u2019re in heaven sometimes when you\u2019re sleeping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no pain points; in fact, a good sleeping pillow helps take the pain away. However, after a while, pillows sag or flatten and you find that they no longer provide that much-needed support. You began to sleep differently. Your sleep is less comfortable, and it\u2019s harder to find that happy, dreamy place you once knew with your pillow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may even find yourself waking up to pain points that you never had. Credit that sometimes to your ready-to-be-replaced pillow. That\u2019s the pillow\u2019s way of saying it\u2019s time to replace me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
