Learn when to refill your adjustable pillow and how to restore its loft with our step-by-step guide. Keep your pillow supportive and comfortable for years.
Quick Answer
Refill your adjustable pillow when it feels noticeably flatter or less supportive, typically every 1-2 years. Use a compatible fill refill to restore loft and extend your pillow's life.
Why Refill Instead of Replace?
Refilling your adjustable pillow is a cost-effective way to maintain comfort and support without buying a whole new pillow. It also reduces waste and lets you fine-tune the loft to your exact preference.
Over time, shredded memory foam compresses and loses resilience. A refill adds fresh fill to bring back the height and plushness you originally loved.
Choosing the Right Fill Refill
Not all fill is the same. Different pillow models use different foam blends, so using the correct refill ensures compatibility and consistent feel.
Check your pillow's model and select the matching refill type. For example, the Original Adjustable Pillow uses a different fill than the Latex or Cool+ versions.
If you're unsure, contact customer support with your pillow model to confirm the right refill.
How to Refill Your Adjustable Pillow
- Check Your Pillow's Loft: Remove the pillow cover and inspect the fill level. If the pillow feels noticeably flatter or you find yourself stacking it, it's time for a refill. A good rule: if you can easily fold the pillow in half and it stays that way, it's too flat.
- Order the Correct Refill: Identify your pillow model (Original, Latex, Cool+, Eden, etc.) and order the matching Pillow Fill Refill from the store. Double-check the model name on the pillow tag before ordering to avoid the wrong fill type.
- Open the Refill Package: Carefully open the refill bag. The fill may arrive compressed; fluff it gently with your hands to break up any clumps. Do not vacuum or use a machine to fluff the fill—it can damage the foam pieces.
- Add Fill to Your Pillow: Open the zipper on your pillow's inner compartment and add the fill gradually. Start with half the bag, then test the loft. Add small amounts at a time—it's easier to add more than to remove excess.
- Adjust and Test: Zip the pillow closed, fluff it, and test by lying down. Add more fill if needed until you reach the desired height and support. Your ideal loft should keep your neck aligned with your spine; adjust accordingly.
- Store or Recycle Extra Fill: If you have leftover fill, store it in a sealed bag for future adjustments. If you overfilled, remove some and save it for later. Store extra fill in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh for the next time you need it.
