There’s nothing quite like sinking into a perfectly plump, inviting pillow at the end of a long day. But over time, even the best pillows can become a bit flat and sad. If you're wondering how to properly fluff a pillow, you're on a mission to restore that cozy comfort to your home! A good fluff can bring a pillow back to life. While this technique works for any cushion, we think it’s especially important for the pillows we love the most—the ones filled with our favorite memories.
Why Fluffing Matters
A regular fluffing does more than just make your pillows look good. It:
-
Redistributes the Filling: Prevents lumps and uncomfortable flat spots.
-
Airs it Out: Helps to release dust and refresh the pillow.
-
Extends its Life: Maintains the loft and comfort of the pillow for longer.
How to Properly Fluff a Pillow: Three Easy Methods
Here's a simple guide. The best way to make your pillows fluffy again depends on the type of pillow and how much help it needs.
1. The Hands-On "Accordion" Method (For a Quick Refresh):
This is your daily go-to for decorative and sleeping pillows.
-
Hold the pillow by its shorter ends.
-
Push the ends in and out vigorously, like you're playing an accordion, for about 30 seconds. This breaks up the filling.
-
Finish by giving it a few good punches on all sides to even it out.
2. The Dryer Method (For a Deep Fluff):
This is perfect for pillows that are really starting to look flat. (Always check the care tag first!)
-
Place one or two pillows in the dryer on a low or no-heat setting.
-
Add a couple of tennis balls (each tossed in a clean sock to prevent noise and ink transfer) or wool dryer balls.
-
Run the dryer for 15-20 minutes. The balls will gently pummel the pillow, restoring its loft and fluffiness.
3. The Sunshine Method (For a Natural Fluff & Freshen):
-
On a dry, sunny day, hang your pillows outside for a few hours. The sun helps to naturally disinfect and eliminate moisture.
-
Give them a good shake and a few fluffs by hand before bringing them back inside.
