How often do you replace your pillows? Do you remember when you last replaced your pillows? If you\u2019re stumped on both of these answers, you\u2019re in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people don\u2019t think about replacing their pillows. We buy our pillows, we sleep on them, and we don\u2019t consider replacing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than replacing our pillows, we beat them to keep them in a supportive mode, wash them consistently, and buy new pillowcases. But every pillow, regardless of the filling type, needs to be replaced at some point, even wool pillows<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how long do wool pillows last? Wool pillows should be replaced every one to three years on average.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

When you sleep your body sheds skin and body oil, and it goes right onto your pillow. We also tend to sweat at night. After a time, this buildup causes your pillow to smell and stain and can be a gross experience within itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to that, these conditions will attract dust mites to your pillow. Dust mites<\/a> will add extra weight to your pillow and make it even more difficult for your pillows to stay supportive for the duration of its life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust mites feed on your skin and can be even more of a problem for people who suffer from allergies. This can worsen allergy symptoms to the extent that it interferes with your quality sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though dust mites are not a significant issue with wool pillows (since they are less prone to dust mites), the pillow itself is still infested with oils, body skin, and possibly other bacteria that build on your pillow over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing is that once your pillow has become worn, it won\u2019t be as supportive as you need it to be for your neck and shoulders to get a good, quality night of sleep as we\u2019ve determined we all need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our heads are heavy, and bearing the weight of your head every night for years and years will eventually wear your pillow out and cause it to flatten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At some point, you will need to replace your wool pillow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
