春に向けて寝具をリフレッシュしましょう

Hi Gwenn, That is so curious! Yellowing is caused due to either sun exposure (which doesn't appear to be the case here) or oxidization of substances that built up on the fabric's surface (like detergent, sweat / body oils, etc). In the case of the latter, that yellowing would happen in or out of the closet in equal measure - I can't imagine the fact of it being in the closet making the yellowing any worse. If you have a good professional cleaner in the area, they can give it a wash for you to slow the progression of the yellowing if it's a concern.

This is perfectly normal! Pillows do become stained over time. It depends on what you mean by 'better'. Down is quite resilient, so you certainly could have your pillow refurbished. You can have the down washed (there will be a small amount of loss through the washing process so you may need to add a bit of new down) and have the clean down filled into a new shell. This is definitely better from an environmental standpoint, however, depending on the down quality, this could cost you as much as buying a new pillow. So from a cost and efficiency standpoint, it would be better to buy a new pillow. You can check with the manufacturer of your pillow - they may be able to recycle the old one for you to avoid it going to the landfill.

Hi Joan, Thank you so much for your purchase! I see you have a feather pillow and a Down Perfect Pillow. Natural down and feather pillows are sensitive to moisture. If any moisture at all is left in the pillow, mold, mildew and other bacteria can develop. It's really hard to get pillows thoroughly dry in home machines, which is why we do not recommend washing and drying at home. If they need to be washed, it's best to bring them to a professional cleaner who is experienced with down and feather products. Ideally, your pillows can be reasonably protected by a pillowcase and pillow protector so they don't need frequent laundering. Depending on your environment or how exposed the pillows are, they may need to be laundered once a year or even once every 5 years.

If you decide to wash and dry at home, you certainly can, but it will invalidate the warranty. Of course, it's your pillow and your choice! We recommend washing and drying on a low heat setting with mild detergent. Run it through several dryer cycles - even when it feels dry, run it through a few more times!
