I don't wash mine ever. Will they lose shape in the wash?

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: nope, I wash them on delicate then dry on low with a tennis ball ( in a sock). The tennis ball helps refluff them.
Best to wash two at a time so you don't have a balance issue.

Yikes, we never do this. Probably should, though, especially with all the dander from our doggies floating around in our house!

@mfa_lady: yes, us too! And DH has a tendency to drool and nose bleed in his sleep. Washing my toddler's pillow too! Can you say runny nose and tears??
@kiddosc: yup! You can.

@locavore_mama: Oh, man. Such good points. Embarrassingly enough, I'm the drooly one in our marriage. Ha! I should get on this ASAP.

I've never washed it. Yikes. I have a memory foam, can those be washed? I do use two pillow cases on them and wash those often.

I wash 2-3 times a year, and just bedroom ones not decorative ones.

@PurplePumps: I'm not sure! Do you still have the tag on the pillow?

The last time I washed a pillow, it became lumpy, despite washing it on delicate and putting it in the dryer with a tennis ball. So I haven't washed any since then.
@locavore_mama: Maybe my problem is that I only washed one and not two at the time!

I wash the decorative ones but I don't wash the ones we sleep on, I just replace them. I tried washing one once and it ended up really lumpy and I had to throw it out.

@Adira: @alohaorchid: oh wow! I've honestly never had that problem.

@Adira: @alohaorchid: There's this one pillow of ours that gets lumpy too! After a few nights of it getting tossed around in our bed, it flattens itself out again. So weird!!!
I was them once a year for sure or if DS spits up on them or DH is sick and sweats all over them.
