If you have been waking up with neck or back pain for some time, you have the impression that you did not get enough sleep, it may be time to replace your pillow.
Pillows usually last a couple of years. The fact is that you can use them after a year or two, but really, you shouldn’t.
Fats secreted by the skin, dead skin and hair cells and other “nasty” things that are a real paradise for the development of bacteria and mites collect in them.
If you’re not sure if you should replace your pillow, try this simple trick. Lay the pillow on a flat surface and fold one side over the other, as if closing a book. If the pillow stays in that position, it’s time for a new one!
