Regularly washing your pillows will set you up for a healthy night of zzzās. But how often should you wash your pillows? Hereās our guide:
How Often Should You Wash Your Pillows?
Our answer: It depends. Generally, we recommend three to six months, wash your pillowcases every two weeks. Look at the care guide on your pillowās tag, but remember itās essentially a bedsheet for your head.

Temperature changes and sweating affects your pillow. Itās susceptible to the same gross stuff as your sheets, even if itās covered by a regularly freshened pillowcase. Give your head a great, clean place to rest by following the pillowās specific care tips.

What Are the Benefits of Washing a Pillow?
Washing will not only help reinvigorate the fill materials, but it will also extend a pillowās lifespan. While you should swap out your pillowcases weekly, a full cleaning of the pillow every 3-6 months will remove lingering stains and keep it clean of allergens and dust.
Ā
Regularly used pillows should be replaced once a year. Itās good practice to keep more than one pillow on your bed to swap out if one feels like itās losing its oomph.
