Comforters vs. Sleep Pillows: Maintenance Scheduling Pillows accumulate natural oils, hair particles, and environmental dirt, creating ideal breeding conditions for harmful fungi and microscopic dust mites. Clean pillows quarterly, especially when using protective covers requiring monthly washing.

Duvets, protected by removable covers and experiencing minimal skin contact, need washing approximately every six months. This interval maintains freshness while preserving exceptional quality standards.
