Generally speaking, the service life of a memory foam pillow is 3-5 years, while the service life of a down pillow or a synthetic pillow may be slightly shorter, at 2-3 years. However, this is only a rough reference, and the actual service life may vary depending on personal usage habits and environmental conditions.

How to judge whether the pillow needs to be replaced

First, you can observe the appearance of the pillow. If the surface of the pillow is obviously deformed, dented or discolored, it means that it has lost its original elasticity and support and needs to be replaced. Secondly, you can try to press the pillow. If the pillow feels very hard or very soft, it means that it has lost its original comfort and needs to be replaced. Finally, if your pillow has been used for more than 3 years, it is recommended to replace it even if there is no obvious deformation or dent to ensure its hygiene and function.

In terms of pillow maintenance, we should clean the pillowcase regularly to keep the pillow clean and hygienic. For memory foam pillows and down pillows, we cannot wash them directly with water, but should use a vacuum cleaner or professional cleaning tools to clean them. In addition, we should also avoid placing heavy objects on the pillow or sitting on the pillow for a long time to avoid damaging the structure and elasticity of the pillow.
