What to do with Old Pillows?

What to Do With Old Pillows? We spend one-third of our lives laying on our pillows, so it may be hard to part ways with your faithful sleep companions. But when it’s time, it’s time. Whether you’re waking up with a crick in your neck or your orthopedic pillow has actually changed colors, eventually you’ll see that an old pillow has got to go. So, what do you do with old pillows when you get a new set of pillows? If possible, it’s best to avoid throwing pillows directly into the garbage because they get sent straight to the landfill, which has a tough effect on our environment. Luckily, there are many environmentally friendly ways to get rid of your pillows by repurposing, donating, and recycling them. In this short guide, we’ll cover your options. The most efficient way to "get rid of" old pillows is to repurpose them. Just because your old pillows no longer belong on your bed doesn’t mean they need to leave your house completely.

Throw some new fabric on your old pillows and create floor seats for your family and guests to sit on the floor around your coffee table. Gently used pillows make for perfect extra padding in your pet’s bed. If your pet is small enough, the old bed pillow could be the bed itself (and so cute). Or, you can always add your old pillow to a new bed for your pet, like Casper’s supportive dog bed. Discarded pillows can be very durable and long-lasting when used to protect your fragiles during moving or shipping. Depending on the size and shape of your old pillows, they might be the perfect addition to your living room couch as a type of decorative pillow once refreshed and re-upholstered. Can’t find a way to reuse your old pillow? Not to fret. Next, look for ways to pass it on. If your pillows are still in decent shape, you can look into donating them. Many organizations have a need for pillows, orthopedic pillow bedding, and even mattresses.
