Most experts recommend replacing your pillow every 1 to 2 years. Over time, pillows lose their shape and support, which can lead to neck and back pain. Regularly replacing your pillow ensures that it continues to offer the right support for your head and neck.

If your pillow has lumps, flattened areas, or has lost its firmness, it’s time to replace it, even if it hasn’t reached the 1-2 year mark.
