I must be a picky pillow person because I can never seem to find what I like to call the Goldilocks pillow. You know, the one that is “Just Right!” I love a comfy pillow and have a stash of about 6 pillows on my bed at any given time. My kids love it because they can make a big pillow pile on the floor and jump off my bed into them. Are you a picky pillow person? Check out the review and giveaway below giveaway by The Budget Bandit for your choice of luxury pillow items from SmartSilk.
The Budget Bandit is giving away your choice of 2 Luxury Queen size pillows from SmartSilk ($130 value) or 2 SmartSilk Pillow Protectors ($55 value) for 1 reader to win!!!
Did you know that your pillow doubles in weight over a span of time from absorbing dust, bacteria, mold, allergens, and dead skin…and by the way, you sleep on that!!! Plus that’s not even to mention the nasty bodily fluids we let our pillows soak in. How many times of you woken up in a puddle of drool? I bet you didn’t run and wash your pillow right afterwards….instead you let it grow bacteria that you will later breathe in while once again dreaming of puppy dogs and rainbows.
Needless to say maintaining a clean pillow is essential to your life (regardless of allergies). Of course you can wash your pillow and replace it as recommended every two years…but if you are like me once you find a pillow that you LOVE there is no way you are tossing it out for a new one to break in! Plus who has time to wash their pillow weekly??? I sure don’t! Pillow protectors are the answer to all your problems…SmartSilk makes an all natural silk filled Pillow Protector made an exclusive patent pending technology that ensures an increased level of comfort with its smart blend of breathable and moisture materials. (PS I can vouch for that!)

wendy c g says
once a year
stephanie says
I know I don’t wash them as often as I should. And I know I don’t replace them as often either! I also feel when I wash them, I make my allergies worse since I don’t know if it is getting dried all the way.
steve weber says
probably every 5-6 months.
Kristal says
I wash my pillows every few weeks and replace them probably every 6 months. It depends on if we’ve been sick and a few other factors. They make great dog bed stuffers when they aren’t used on my bed anymore!

I think we wash ours about once a month, but that’s only because we have so many to go through that they don’t get used too much before getting washed. We switch them out every six to nine months. Once they lose their fluffyness.
