How often would (some) doctors like you to replace your pillow?
Answer: At least every two years, according to some experts. This is for two reasons: One is due to natural material breakdown, which can make your pillow lumpy, uncomfortable, and potentially give you neck or back pain. But the second is due to the pillows harboring dust mites and other bacteria, which could make you sick over time.
