I recently bought a pair of those Tempur, memory foam type pillows.... best investment ever! I always thought I was a feather man, refusing to consider anything man-made.
put the pillow in the dryer, before that spray the pillow with some kind of clothes refresher or even fancy rose water...sweet dreams
I grew up in a household, where my mother washed all the down filled duvets once a year, thenhung them outside to dry. Frequent shaking was involved. I wash my down sleeping bag every so often, going for the tennis ball in the dryer technique. It works and the sleeping bag comes out fresh and soft.
If you are still not happy with the smell of yours, IKEA should still let you return it.
It is recommended to take it to a dry cleaning shop where it will be washed and dried professionally (not dry cleaned as it's toxic ).
I tried myself many times to wash the pillows and i managed to ruin them... so i was advised to go twice a year to wash the feather pillows and duvets in a dry cleaning shop.
I recommend TEMPUR pillow, it is a relaxation for your neck, and with only 15 minutes pro week on the balcony the freshness is guaranteed .
My Uncle Bertrand got into quite a lot of trouble for smelling pillows, and had to explain how he'd got into the ladies' college and everyth... sorry, what was this thread about, again?
what's the price range and where can you buy them?
