Here are step-by-step instructions for refluffing your shredded memory foam pillow:
1. Daily Fluffing Method
Swirl Shake Method: Grasp the short sides of the pillow with both hands and shake it up and down quickly three times like a blanket to distribute the particles.
Kneading Massage Method: Repeatedly squeeze from the center outward (imitating the kneading of dough) to break up any clumping particles.
2. Deep Collapse Rescue
Drawer Steaming Method: Lay the pillow flat in a drawer with half a cup of hot water nearby. Close the drawer tightly and use the moist steam to soften any clumping particles. (Remove and shake after 20 minutes.)
Dryer Cold Air Method: Place the pillow in a laundry bag and set the dryer on low heat for 5 minutes (do not heat).
3. Dealing with Stubborn Clumps
Particle Disassembly Method: Remove all foam particles through the zipper opening. Hand-rub any hardened particles until they are loose (focusing on squeezing any hardened particles around the edges).
Book Press Flattening Method: Lay the pillow flat on a towel and cover with a hardcover book press overnight. When reinstalling the pillow, place the softer particles first, then the harder particles.
4. Preventative Maintenance Tips
Weekly Turnover Schedule: Loosen the front on Monday, turn it over and loosen it on Wednesday, then erect the light support base on the weekend.
Seasonal Moisture Prevention: During the rainy season, wrap the pillow in a dehumidifier bag and store for 2 hours (to prevent the particles from absorbing moisture and becoming sticky).
5. Taboos: Do not slap it:
hitting it will accelerate the particle breakage. Do not expose it to direct sunlight: UV rays will cause the sponge to become brittle and clumpy. Do not vacuum compress it: the particle structure will be permanently destroyed.
