    Well, among annual purchases that’s not the worst one to consider. If you wanna feel gross find out how much your pillow weighed when you bought it vs now.

    I have friends who go to the dentist twice a year religiously. Strangely enough they are always having to have work done. We go when there’s a problem and seldom have problems. I always figure, you can’t see inside your own mouth. They’ve got you flat on your back, helpless, with a light shining right in your eyes and they start digging around going, “Hmmmm
this doesn’t look good
”

    I get a new pillow every year but I sweat a lot during the summer and I wake up with the pillow being soaking wet.

    Well there is that ONE ‘news’ source that had to settle for almost a Billion dollars for telling LIEs.

    But they always tell the truth nowadays. As dictated by Dear Leader.

    I’m pretty sure that when you got (note the past tense) news from a well edited newspaper, it was real and more or less unbiased
 unless it was marked as “editorial” or “readers’ write” 
 or an ad which is even more clearly marked as not being vetted for truth. But such careful work is extremely rare these days and even places like Public Radio run a lot of “Oh this is interesting” fluff that’s not careful about details.

    It does, Pig. I’ve had this mattress for 11 years and my pillows for 6. My pillows get washed every couple of months, as does my mattress cover. I still sleep comfortably and wake up refreshed most mornings.

    I replaced my pillows three months ago as the pillows I had for years were no longer doing the job. I hope I won’t need to get new ones for a long time

    I’m tired of all the things I supposed to do, and if I don’t, I’m some sort of slobby person. Those that follow arbitrary rules about cleanliness & health are neurotic. Replace a pillow when flat and uncomfortable. Otherwise wash it when needed.

    Some pillows are washable, but they’re also easy to replace inexpensively. I don’t sink loads of money into pillows, but I do buy brand name ones like Serta. They run about $10-$12 each. I buy fresh ones about twice a year.

    Invest in some good pillow protectors to keep out dust mites and such. Droolers can get the waterproof ones. And wash your pillowcases at least once a week.

    Used to manage a hotel, and we blew through pillows. Had a test to see if a pillow was bad and if it was, right in the trash. You’d be amazed at the number of complaints you can get for having a lame pillow.
