I love them. Very comfortable and I like how easy they are to wash. I put mine in the washer with a couple of bath towels and then in the dryer. They come out fresh and just like new.

I've wondered about these pillows as well, I'd love a follow up later on how well they have done in the laundry, I always manage to ruin my "washable" pillows when I wash them!

Wash
Cold or Warm on regular cycle (not delicate)
Use any detergent.
Do not use fabric softener.
Top Loading Machines
Place 2 pillows in washer to balance. If only 1 pillow, balance with towels.
Front Load Machines
Wash pillows with a full load of laundry.
Dry
Tumble dry with high heat.
No dryer balls or fabric softener.
Use extra spin cycles to lessen drying time.
Do not worry about over-drying. i do not know what balance is, maybe sparkle.

family, “balance” means you have to put something in the washer with the pillow to balance the load. I only wash one pillow at a time and balance the load by including a couple of bath towels as the instructions say. I think washing two pillows at once is too much stress on the washer unless you have a particularly large washer. Hope this helps.

I always follow the washing instructions on washable pillows to the letter but... they always come out with the filling feeling lumpy.

The My Pillows don’t come out lumpy. They come out looking and feeling just like they did when they were brand new. The filling is different. It’s composed of pieces of some sort of foamlike material. But the material is lighter than the usual sort of foam material - a bit like packing peanuts, but not as light or fragile.

I have the same issues.
I think they copy/paste instructions from some other product.
There are also issues with what they put in water where I live. I've had cotton washcloths dissolve because of the junk they put in the water.

That's wild! Cotton is basically acid resistant, so it might be something like a super high concentration of chlorine dioxide maybe breaking down the fibers. It's a pretty common additive for purifying water in both city and rural areas. They basically "bubble" it through the water supply under pressure before it gets distributed, and it's supposed to disperse to safe levels before reaching homes. Does your water smell like bleach every now and again? That's allegedly a tell tale sign they're getting heavy handed with it. It will also make the ends of house plant leaves turn brown if the concentration is higher.

I live in the country and have my own well, so there is nothing in it but what comes up from the aquifer below. If someone's public drinking water makes cotton dishcloths dissolve, there is a serious problem and I would hope it would be reported. Something that serious would cause a shut-down of water until it was resolved in my state.

When I was working, I didn't work in the Public Drinking Water program, but I was very familiar with it. Chlorine dioxide is a common additive to make sure drinking water is safe depending on the source used. But like you say, Trail, it is supposed to be down to safe levels before it reaches homes. Our inspectors did routine sampling to be sure the water was safe for all uses including drinking. The Public Drinking Water Program delegated to the states by the EPA is supposed to enforce all public health standards for drinking water. One of the few things other countries envy is our Public Drinking Water Program.

Nope. Unless something kills people instantly they just ignore ongoing problems.
People who live out in the country and have their own wells don't fully realize how good they got it without all the junk being put in the water.

The problem isn't chlorine so much as chloramines. Chloramines cause all sorts of nonstop coughing as well as the problems with towels dissolving.
11 months of the year they put chloramines in the water and we can't even bathe in it without filtering the water first. That one month when we have only chlorine in the water all these problems disappear.

It sounds like your Public Drinking Water system has some real problems. Public Drinking Water is very tightly regulated in the US. I'm not sure who the regulatory authority in your state is, but in mine it's the Department of Natural Resources. My co-workers who worked in Public Drinking Water addressed complaints all the time from consumers. I would file a formal complaint with your regulatory authority.

It's not all rosy with on-site private wells either. If you live in a Karst topography area, the aquifers can become polluted by chemicals, sewage etc. I didn't work in Drinking Water, but I did work in Water Pollution Control. We have a lot of what is termed "losing streams." That means a certain percentage of the water does not stay on the surface, but goes down to groundwater. If a sewage treatment plant was discharging treated effluent into a losing stream, the effluent had to be pristine. It was a battle to keep surface water clean to protect the ground water.
