Is your pillow Tired? Just hang on and testdrive yours...!!

Did you know that a feather pillow lasts for about eight years?? A regular down pillow holds a life san of 5 years and a man-made filling pillow about six months to two years.

A simple test* can determine if "your pillow is tired"!
Lay the Feather or Down pillow on a hard surface and fold it in half or thirds and squeeze out the air. Release the pillow. If it unfolds and return to its original position, it is enough support. A tired (or overused) pillow will stay folded.

Polyester pillows you fold the same way as above but add a shoe on top. If it "pings" off the show the pillow is in good shape.
So either you need to go out and buy a new pillow right now before that it is always goof to consult a physiotherapist before shopping. We love out tempura pillows that do state that your alignment is maintained...

*these is just a guidelines and all out of shape pillows will need replacing if not supporting...
