how to wash casper pillow

Sometimes, you just don’t feel like lying down on a fluffy feather bed, especially if you have had a rough day at work. You might feel like you deserve a better mattress and pillow than what your bed can offer. Luckily, there is a simple solution – wash your pillow! You can easily do this at home with the right equipment and a bit of time. Let’s get started.

Things You’ll Need

First, you’ll need some laundry detergent and water. When washing your pillow, make sure the water is no more than a few degrees warmer than room temperature. You should be able to remove any excess water with a small towel before laying down on your bed. Dry your pillow with a clean cotton towel before laying down on it so that any moisture remains trapped inside. If the water is still on the surface when you lay down, the moisture will cause you to quickly become dehydrated, resulting in a poor night’s sleep and an uncomfortable morning. So, keep your water clean!

How To Wash Your Pillow At Home

To wash your pillow at home, simply grab a pillowcase and fill it with water. Tuck the case into the inside of your mattress. Make sure the water is at least an inch deep. You can also place the pillowcase on a pillow block, to elevate the pillow’s surface and allow for better air drying.

After about 10 minutes, check the water to see if it has completely dried. If not, then leave the pillow in the case and continue to wait until it is completely dry. Once it is dry, remove the pillowcase and gently lay the pillow on a flat surface. Don’t use too much force as you remove the pillowcase, otherwise, you could break it.

Use A Bit Of Science

Pillow washing can be a bit of a science experiment. You can use the same method to wash other types of pillows, such as a marantilla or a down pillow, although these will require more water and detergent than your standard memory foam pillow. Let’s do some testing to see how well this washing method works. First, make sure you wash your favorite pillow in the middle of the night, when you’re not feeling too tired, so that the water has time to settle and air dry overnight.

The next day, grab a clean pillow case and fill it with water. Place the pillow in the case and close it securely. Place the case on a flat surface and leave it there for about 10 minutes. Check to see if the water has settled and dried out the pillow. If not, then repeat the process until the water has fully settled. Remove the pillow from the case and lay it on a flat surface. Don’t use too much force, as you may end up breaking the pillow.

Wash Your Pillow In The Shower

Another great way to wash your pillow is in the shower. While you are bathing, make sure the water is no hotter than your hands. If it’s too hot, then the foam will quickly become saturated and there will be no resting place for your head. If you are a bit of a shower enthusiast, then why not wash your pillow in the shower every day? You can get the best bathing experience while also washing your pillow, simply by turning on the shower and allowing the water to run while you get on with your morning routine. To make sure all the wet spots are completely dried, turn off the shower, squeeze a bit of detergent onto the pillow, and get out your clean towel. Be sure to dry your pillow thoroughly before laying down to prevent water damage and future stains.

Use Your Nail

To create the perfect fluffiness for your pillow, use your fingernails to gently scrunch the cloth when you lay down on it. This will ensure that your head is supported by a cushion of air as you sleep, creating the perfect balance between soft and fluffy and firm and supportive. If you have a bit harder pillow than usual, this scrunching may take a bit longer, so be patient!

Try A Different Approach

If you’ve tried washing your pillow in the shower and it still doesn’t seem to work for you, then why not try a different approach? You might need to insert a few layers of clothes between your neck and the surface of the pillow to create the right balance between feeling cool and comfortable and smelling clean! In the morning, make sure you remove these layers of clothing when you get up. This will help keep the smell of your laundry detergent from permeating the pillow’s surface and causing further discomfort for yourself or your partner.

Now, you might be thinking that all of this washing business is actually a waste of time. While it’s true that freshly washed bedsheets can feel wonderful against your skin, it’s better to let your pillow air dry in case it’s a bit damp. If you’re going to be in the same bed for an hour or more, then turn on the small fan on your bedside and let the pillow settle for a bit before laying down. This is especially important if you have a hot air balloon pillow because it can quickly heat up the bed and cause you both to lose sleep. So, if you really want to wash your pillow, be sure to use the right detergents and don’t use too hot water, otherwise, you’ll end up with a soggy pillow instead of a fluffy one. Follow these tips, and you’ll be washing your pillow like a pro in no time!
