Yes, you can! Remove the pillowcase and pillow protector. Using a gentle detergent, set your washer to a gentle, warm water cycle and its largest capacity. Wash at least two pillows (to balance the machine) and no more than three pillows at a time to guarantee a thorough cleaning. After your washer has completed its cycle, run the pillows through the rinse cycle again. This is to make sure that all the detergent is removed from the pillow. I like to run my spin cycle twice as well to remove any excess water and help the pillows dry a little more quickly.Once your pillows are washed and the excess water has been wrung out, you can toss them in your dryer. Down and natural materials can't withstand much heat, so set your dryer on AIR or LOW and allow them to dry thoroughly. If you would like to fluff up your pillows again, put a couple tennis balls in some socks and toss them in to agitate and return the fibers to their natural state. Stop the dryer every 30 minutes or so to rotate the pillows around to make sure that they dry thoroughly and evenly.

Yes you can. Wash in a washer but first run it on rinse cycle to remove all the air bubbles, then start it on wash cycle and allow it to run through.

How to Get the Most Out of your Feather Pillow?

Most people either love or hate feather pillows. Some find them to be soft and wonderful to sleep with. Others prefer pillows stuffed with other materials. If you aren’t convinced that feather pillows are the best to help you sleep at night, understanding the benefits will help you get the most out of your feather pillow each night. Feather pillows are stuffed with soft down feathers. One of the best benefits is the flexibility the feathers provide. A regular pillow stuffed with other materials will keep the same shape all the time, in most cases. Sometimes they are too fluffy or too flat. You might desire a fluffier pillow one night or less bulk another night. Feather pillows have the right flexibility to allow for this. You can shape your pillow however you want. You can make it fluffier or flatter. You can also mold it to shape your head and neck. If you need more support for your neck, mold the feathers to fit the contour of your head and neck. They can also be used to place between your knees to help your back. It is a misconception that feather pillows are hard to clean. You don’t need to clean them that often, and they can be cleaned right in your home washer and dryer in most cases. As with any pillow, use a pillow case and cover to avoid having to wash your pillow all the time. Instead, you can change your pillow case frequently and wash the case, not the pillow. In this case, your pillow itself doesn’t need to be cleaned more than once or twice a year. Feather pillows can last for many years. The best way to use it is to use it correctly. When you go to sleep, mold it however you want to make it the most comfortable for you. Keep the pillow case clean, and only wash the pillow it once or twice a year. Fluff up the pillow when you feel it’s getting flatter and losing it’s body. Don’t abuse the pillow. Ruining the feathers will make fluffing the pillow impossible. Use it correctly and you’ll be able to enjoy the pillow for years to come.


Are pillow covers healthier than not having them?

If you wash your pillows regularly there isn't really a point of a pillow cover. Pillow covers are designed to keep the pillow clean, and to keep dirt and germs from seeping in to the actual pillow.
