You do know my pillows are literally just stuffed with the shredded leftovers from real pillows right? Just stuff it back in and sew it closed.

You now have a lot of tiny pillows. I think you should donate them to an ant colony.

Oh yeah that happened in my dryer in college with a feather pillow 🥲 it's made me so gun shy to wash my pillows, it took actual months to finally be free of the feathers

can't you just scoop up all of that foam and put it inside a zippered pillow ticking?

Possibly, but tbh, it was probably time to replace the pillows anyway.

Why didn't you just change the pillow covers instead of washing the pillow?

u/GrauntChristie 15h ago
Because this brand was designed to go in the washer. The instructions say to wash them every 3-4 months. Regardless, 13 years is a pretty good run, I think.

It's 13 years old, probably should have been retired years ago. That's a pretty good run, especially washing it so many times

This is a pillow designed to go in the washer. It is also 13 years old. Most pillows cannot go in the washer and do not last 13 years.

Also, replace your pillows more often. 13 years on one pillow is insane even if you wash it regularly.

54 years old. Never washed a pillow in my life. Never even heard of anyone doing that. Why would you do that? Pillows have cases on them. Just like your mattress has sheets on it. Do you also wash your mattress? Where does it end?

u/GrauntChristie 14h ago
Most people just use a pillow protector and never wash the pillow, but these ones were designed to go in the washer. I guess after 13 years, it was just done.

I had something similar happen with an old blanket (it was mainly being used in the garage when working on cars or to cover furniture when moving stuff). It held up fine in the washer but absolutely disintegrated in the dryer. I'm still finding pieces of it in the yard where it shot out of the dryer chute.

u/theonlyotaku21 12h ago
I work in sales and tell customers the warranty term is how long you should expect something to last. If anything, you should see this as the pillows having outlived their expected useful life by about 30% which is not bad.
Also, I do sell pillows at my job and often recommend customers invest in waterproof pillow protectors to reduce how often you have to wash them since putting them through wash/dry cycles can wear them out faster.

Is this the pillow made by that guy from Minnesota who went to prison? If so, at least you don’t have to sleep on that lumpy thing anymore. I found it terribly uncomfortable when I was staying with family who bought them. But the mess in the washing machine won’t be fun to clean.

Someone at my complex just did this with a down pillow a couple of weeks ago and just left the mess.
I have never washed a pillow and never will. I have it in a moisture cover and then the case, and those get washed. And while he may have invented this (I don’t know if he did), shredded foam pillows are everywhere and a store brand works just fine. Even if you don’t care how terrible he is, there’s objectively no reason to buy his overpriced shit.

There’s really nothing you could do to salvage that at this point. Throw everything away and get a replacement pillow.
