I have a couple pillows that I've had since I was very small. Probably at least 20 years. I have so many pillows though that I'm not sure for most of them. I have changed out covers and wash the covers regularly. If a pillow had any kind of bad smell or staining I would just throw away.

Wash them pillows in the washing machine - no need to trash.

I keep my pillows for awhile. The pillow before the one I have now got left in a hotel room. I was so pissed at myself. I would be really pissed if my SO threw out my pillow. Sorry for your loss.

This pillow has been with me through puberty, through college, through those awkward few years after college, and been with me through marriage till my freaking wife decided that she was too disgusted by it and threw it away last night.


Thats absolutely repulsive. I'm glad she tossed it. Maybe now your house won't smell like arse.

I'm all over the bed when I sleep. This way I don't have to bring my pillow with me on my journey, wherever I end up I have pillows.


Oh no no no. I sleep in one spot and do not move from the little spot until morning.

People who move all over the bed are also usually deep sleepers. I CANNOT sleep next to people like that I'm a light sleeper.

Just bought two new ones after about 6 years or so. Bitches be expensive now

Bought a memory foam neck pillow thing last year. The cricks I would get in my neck occasionally are gone.

I had mine for a long time and then read a few months ago that after 6 years 10% of the pillow's weight is dead skin and the fecal matter of mites. I went and got new pillows a few hours later.

I have way too many adventures in my dreams to stay in one place. It's like Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, and Debbie Does Dallas all wrapped into one damned movie some nights

I'm pretty sure keeping a pillow over 3-5 years is considered trashy

No idea. I typically don't use pillows to sleep. I did hangs the sheets the other day to help the wife and noticed she had purchased new pillows recently though.

A pillow doubles in weight in 3 years. That extra weight is dust mites, dust mite remains, your skin and sweat mostly.

Yeah, I replace those bitches all of the time. They're cheap and something I care to hold onto for a long time.

I've had mine for over 50 years. It has goose feathers in it and it's real firm.

My grandmother gave it to me in December 1963.
