Detergent and a good hand-wash will keep your pillows fluffy and fresh. At one time, the filler material inside bed pillows usually consisted of some kind of natural material, such as cotton, wool, or the feathery down from ducks or geese. But today's sleepers very often find that a pillow filled with some form of flexible rubber or polyurethane foam offers a better sleeping experience. Foam pillows-standard polyurethane, latex foam, memory foam, and gel-infused memory foam-are generally less susceptible to collecting dirt than pillows with natural fillers, such as cotton, wool, or feathery down. But eventually, your foam pillows will collect skin and hair cells, dust mites, and possibly stains. After removing their coverings, foam pillows offer some special challenges for cleaning, as solid foam can be damaged and broken by the action of a washing machine and clothes dryer. For solid foam pillows, you must use gentle detergents and hand-washing to clean them.

It's especially critical that foam pillows be dried out thoroughly after washing, as any residual moisture can foster the growth of bacteria and musty smells. Here's a foolproof method for washing foam pillows effectively and safely by hand. This method will work for all types of solid-foam pillows, including standard polyurethane, latex foam, memory foam, and gel-infused memory foam. To deep clean, a foam pillow should be hand-washed. Fill a large sink or bathtub with lukewarm water and a small amount of a gentle detergent used for hand-washing delicate items. Use about 1 teaspoon of detergent per gallon of water. Remove the foam pillow from its protective cover (the cover can be washed separately with other laundry). Completely submerge the foam Derila Pillow in the detergent and water solution and knead it gently for about 10 minutes to move the cleaning solution through the foam. Drain the soapy water and refill the sink with fresh water.

Knead the foam pillow gently to remove the suds. Drain and refill the sink several times with clean water until no more suds appear. Gently squeeze the foam to remove the water, but do not wring it out, as this can break the foam. Allow the pillow to air dry on a flat, ventilated surface away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not use a clothes dryer because the high heat can damage the pillow and cause the foam to crumble. To speed drying, use a portable fan to circulate air. Depending on the thickness of the foam, it can take up to 24 hours or more for a pillow to dry completely. Check the foam for any residual moisture before returning it to its protective cover. Drying the foam pillow outdoors on a breezy, warm day can shorten the drying time to just a few hours. But make sure to keep the pillow out of direct sunlight. If you don't have time to thoroughly wash a foam pillow, spot cleaning can remove stains until it can be washed.
