In a previous article, a cleaning expert Pablo Cartagena, responsible for La Colada laundries, gave us cleaning tips to take care of and keep pillows as new. As there are many of you who have asked us more about memory foam pillows and seeing that they are one of our star products , we have decided to write about their care and cleaning.


Memory foam is a highly adaptable material, which eliminates the pressure of the resting surface on the body, thus allowing it to remain in an optimal and healthy position for longer. The memory foam pillows generate a great sensation of relaxation , and allow the head, neck and shoulder muscles to rest comfortably during sleep hours.

But to feel all these properties it is necessary to keep the pillow in good condition. Just like we wash the sheets, the mattress cover, the duvet…, it is necessary to wash the alomahadas. But beware, memory foam pillows, specifically their core does not accept machine washing , if it gets too wet, memory foam can lose its properties, including its memory effect, which makes it regain its original shape once the weight disappears. that is exerted on it.

This fact does not mean that none of its parts can be washed, since the cover that covers the pillow must be cleaned , in this way we will avoid the accumulation of humidity inside, favoring the appearance of mites. Remember that we spend between 6 and 8 hours breathing on them every day. Dirt accumulates!

When washing the cover, it is very important to see the cleaning instructions that appear on the label . On our Colchones.es website, this information is available on each product family -previous image- and we expand it in the pillow file as you can see in the following screenshot belonging to the Belnou Viscoplus pillow .

There are certain occasions that will require a more thorough wash . For example, if we have small children who can vomit, spill liquids, ... we have no choice but to wash. Our recommendation is to do it by hand, prepare a container with warm water and mild soap or a little mild detergent. Use a clean cloth, moisten it, drain it well, and rub and clean the pillow, making circular movements. Afterwards it is important to dry it with a clean towel. Leave it on a flat surface, without humidity so that it dries well. We can also use the vacuum cleaner with care.

In any case, it is very important to use a good protective cover , which can be made of tencel fabric that is 100% waterproof and breathable. We hope this information is useful to you.
