✅ 1. Should pillows be washed in a washing machine?
The answer is yes, but it depends on the material of the pillow.
Cotton, microfiber, or synthetic cotton pillows: can be completely washed in a washing machine, as long as you choose a gentle mode, cold water, and do not wring hard.
Feather, latex, or memory foam pillows: should not be washed in a washing machine, because they can easily clump, deform, or damage the elastic structure.

For small fiber pillows such as microfiber, you should dry clean or dry completely at low temperature to keep the fluffiness, avoid mold, and maintain long-term elasticity.
