"Did you know that the National Sleep Foundation recommends you replace your pillow every one to two years? This may not seem like long, but pillows go through quite a bit of wear and tear. And because you rest your face on them, they can accumulate quite a few unpleasant things like saliva, skin oils, makeup, dead skin cells, and yes, even dust mites and mold."
"If you have several old pillows to reuse, making larger floor cushions is one practical solution. Perfect for impromptu video gaming, movie parties, or gathering around board games, a few large cushions make a welcome addition to any family room or playroom. It can be as easy as finding pre-made cushion covers (some may fit two or more bed pillows). Or you could sew your own covers with fabrics that match your decor."
"You know how you can spend dozens of dollars on a fancy bed for Fido or Fluffy, yet they'd still rather curl up in your dirty laundry? A pet bed made from your old pillows can solve two problems in one go. First, it's an easy way to repurpose pillows and second, it smells like you and not a random factory so your pet may be more apt to nap there."
Replace pillows every one to two years to maintain hygiene because pillows accumulate saliva, skin oils, makeup, dead skin cells, dust mites, and mold. Old bed pillows can be repurposed to reduce landfill waste and extend useful life. Repurposing ideas include making larger floor cushions by combining pillows in pre-made or sewn covers, constructing pet beds that retain the owner's scent, and using pillows as packing filler or moving material. Vacuum storage bags can compress pillows for storage prior to reuse. Re-stuffing existing pet beds and using pillowcases to create long cushion beds are other practical options.
