I have not seen that episode, and before recently buying wool pillows, I'm sure our pillows were 10-20 years old (some hand me downs from the in-laws), and were very rarely washed. In my pillow research, I did read some disturbing things. I wrote about my wool pillows here:<br />http://www.eco-novice.com/2011/02/plastic-alternative-wool.htmlBetsy (Eco-novice)http://www.eco-novice.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198725602225380188.post-29150536859326392442011-04-19T15:32:38.376-04:002011-04-19T15:32:38.376-04:00My pillows are so dang lumpy and I need new ones B...My pillows are so dang lumpy and I need new ones BAD!

Washing them in hot water will help to prevent the bites/bugs etc. <br /><br />But you will still need to replace them every so often (most say 5 years) so it is good to know that there are options of what you can do with them other than just trashing them.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220004667538143849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198725602225380188.post-1167895002835141042011-04-18T00:33:21.982-04:002011-04-18T00:33:21.982-04:00Hi J and J,
