Can MyPillow go in the dryer?

No, MyPillow should never be put in the dryer. MyPillow should always be air-dried on a flat surface. Putting MyPillow in the dryer can damage the fill, cause the pillow to shrink, and the fabric may become discolored and shrink.

To avoid these issues, MyPillow should only be air dried on a flat surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

How should I dry MyPillow?

MyPillow should be dried in the dryer on a low or no-heat setting. Be sure to use several dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and promote even drying. You should also turn the pillow after fifteen minutes to ensure even drying.

If you can, refrain from adding any fabric softener as it can make the pillow less supportive. Once the pillow is dry, fluff it and return it to your bed. If you don’t want to use the dryer, you can also line-dry your MyPillow outside in the sun.

This will help dry it slower, allowing the fabric to retain its shape. However, you may need to use a tennis ball or dryer ball to help fluff it every so often.

How long does it take to dry a MyPillow?

It typically takes anywhere from 1 to 6 hours for a MyPillow to dry completely. The exact amount of time it takes to dry a MyPillow depends on the size of the pillow, the filling material, and the drying temperature.

Smaller pillows filled with natural or synthetic fillings typically take the least amount of time to dry, while larger pillows with memory foam fillings can take much longer. If you are unable to use a dryer, you can usually wait for 1 to 2 days for your MyPillow to dry in a ventilated area.

Should I put my new MyPillow in the dryer?

No, it is not recommended to put your new MyPillow in the dryer. Doing so can cause the shape and size of the pillow to change or become distorted, and it can also cause the fabric to become worn and faded over time.

Additionally, the pillow may become lumpy and uncomfortable if placed in the dryer. Instead, it is best to air-dry your pillow to help ensure its longevity. To do so, lying the pillow flat on a surface and allow it to air dry.

It may take up to 24 hours to become completely dry. If your pillow needs a deep clean, it can be placed in the washing machine on a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. After washing, the pillow should still be air-dried to avoid any distortion or damage.

Why does MyPillow smell after washing?

MyPillow products are filled with hypoallergenic, washable materials like polyester and microfiber. While the materials themselves don’t have a strong odor, the manufacturing process sometimes leaves a temporary smell which may be due to lubricants and other chemicals used on production machines.

Because the fibers are synthetic and not naturally porous, bacteria and other organisms may become trapped in the fibers and cause a musty odor if the pillow isn’t properly dried and aired out. When the pillow is washed, it helps to reduce the odor, but some of the smells still linger and come out when the pillow is used.

To reduce the odor, make sure to air out the pillow in between washing, use fabric softener when washing the pillow, and place the pillow in direct sunlight if possible.

How do I make my pillows fluffy again?

To make your pillows fluffy again, there are a few methods you can try. The first is to shake and fluff your pillows. To do this, hold your pillow in both hands, then swinging it in circular motions, firmly shake and fluff it at the same time.

This will help redistribute the filling inside the pillow.

Another method to make your pillows fluffy is to place them in the dryer on a low-heat setting. To do this, add in a few tennis balls or a few clean pairs of socks filled with a few more tennis balls.

These act as softeners and help redistribute the filling inside the pillow while getting rid of any moisture. When using the dryer, only run it for 10-15 minutes.

Finally, try air drying your pillows. On a sunny day, take your pillows outside and hang them on a line to air dry or place them in the sun for a few hours. This allows the moisture and mildew to evaporate from the pillows and allows the filling to settle back into place.

What is the proper way to wash MyPillow?

The proper way to wash a MyPillow is to machine wash it in cold water on the gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and no fabric softener. It is important to use cold water as washing it in hot water or with hot water settings can cause the pillow to shrink, and the heat of the dryer can also shrink the pillow.

To dry the pillow, you should tumble dry it on a low setting, or you can also hang it up to air-dry. It is important not to over-dry or over-stuff the dryer to avoid causing damage to the pillow. Additionally, if you need to spot-clean a stain, use a mild detergent and cold water to prevent shrinkage.

Can I wash my memory foam pillow?

Yes, you can wash your memory foam pillow. Memory foam pillows are often machine washable, so you can just follow the cleaning instructions on the label of your pillow. To prevent your pillow from becoming lumpy or misshapen, it is best to use the gentle cycle and a neutral detergent.

Once the pillow has been washed and is almost dry, fluff it up and put it in the dryer for about 30 minutes on the no-heat setting. If you don’t have access to a washing machine, you can opt for spot cleaning instead.

Start by filling a bucket or sink with warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent, and give the pillow a few gentle baths until it’s clean. Afterward, dry it off with a towel, and place it in a dry and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.

Be sure to plump it up regularly, as it may go flat due to the lack of a machine to fluff it.

How do you dry memory foam?

Memory foam (also known as visco-elastic foam) can be tricky to dry due to its dense, slow-drying properties. The best way to dry memory foam is to place it in a dry, well-ventilated area and allow it to air dry for a few days.

Depending on the thickness of the memory foam, this drying process could take up to a week. During the drying process, it is important to check the progress of the foam and to turn it over from time to time, as memory foam dries unevenly.

To help speed up the drying process, some people recommend using a fan or vacuum cleaner to help circulate air around the memory foam and wick away moisture. Alternatively, you can place the foam in direct sunlight for a few hours, though you should take extra caution not to expose the memory foam to temperatures over 120°F.

Finally, an important step in drying memory foam is to clean the foam first. You can either wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild detergent, or spot-clean it with a foam cleaner designed specifically for memory foam.

This will help keep the foam looking newer for longer while also preserving its properties.
