Using these pillows is as easy as it gets. Just fluff them up a bit when you first get them, and then place them on your bed for a great night's sleep. As for care, you can machine - wash these pillows in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using bleach. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting. Make sure they are completely dry before using them again. It's also a good idea to air them out occasionally to keep them fresh. If you notice any loose threads, you can simply snip them off with a pair of scissors. Enjoy the comfort of these pillows for years to come!
