Do you have a favorite goose down pillow that has lost its fluff over time? Don’t worry — you don’t have to toss it yet! With a few simple steps, you can revive your pillow, enjoy that cloud-like comfort again, and improve your sleep quality.
1. Fluff by Hand: Quick and Easy
Start with a little TLC. Shake your pillow, pat it gently, and knead the down with your hands. Focus on the flattest areas to redistribute the clusters and restore loft.
Tip: Doing this daily or weekly keeps your pillow comfortable for longer.

2. Dryer Time: Low Heat Works Wonders
For extra flat pillows, use a dryer on low heat. Add a couple of clean tennis balls or dryer balls — they break up down clumps as the pillow tumbles. Check every 15 minutes until the pillow is fully dry and puffy.
Pro Tip: Make sure the pillow is completely dry — damp down can clump and lose loft.
3. Air-Dry & Fluff: Let It Breathe
After drying, give your pillow some air. Lay it flat or hang it in a well-ventilated area and fluff occasionally. This step helps maintain softness and shape while keeping it fresh.
4. Daily Care: Keep Your Pillow Fluffy Longer
Shake your pillow daily and use a high-quality pillow protector. Rotate it occasionally so one side doesn’t get compressed faster. Avoid moisture and direct pressure to maintain support.
Extra Tip: Wash your pillow only when necessary to avoid flattening.
