How often should this pillow be replaced?

I don't know exactly, being a new owner of the pillow myself. I've had it only a month. By the sounds of it, however, you (meaning whoever owns one) don't have to replace it but only refill it when it when you notice it getting smaller or not as comfortable. Much like a car tire I guess. I've had it a month and it's still like the day I got it. Hope this helps! Regards, Wayne.

I've had my standard sized pillow for over 11 years and I'm still in love! I add about a freezer bag full of ADDITIONAL hulls about every couple of years to keep it as full as I prefer, my hubby is about every 3-4 years. I can't sleep on anything else!

I guess it would depend on environmental factors; how often it was used, how quickly the buckwheat broke down, etc. but also how firm you like the pillow. I was able to take a freezer bags worth of buckwheat out of mine, and can use that as replacement kernels when the time comes. So who knows? How often does a regular pillow last? 10+ years? I would bet that the buckwheat could last that long or more.

Just like any product you would use every day it will eventually wear down. I have had my pillow for 4+ years now and just purchased a new one to replace it. For me (stomach sleeper) this brand is great .

It's gentle enough to use every day. And you should replace it every 3-4 months.

It says limited warranty. probably means you have to ship the pillow to the manufactor. First you have to find a warranty and follow the instructions (which I do not see). If they do not honor the warranty you can always file a complaint with your state's attorneygenerals office.

Maybe if you had two. I prefer having two. But my husband is ok with one. I've had mine for a year and my high plush since February and they're both holding up perfectly. Although I do wish I'd gotten another firm because I don't like sinking into my pillow. :)

Store the pillow in your freezer for 4 hours before you use it and put it back in the freezer when it isn't being used so that it will be ready the next time you need it. The best recommendation is to buy two and swap them so you'll always have a cold one ready.

I don't know how long it will last I would imagine a long time considering the material. I bought mine in February of 2011 and it's the only pillow I want to sleep on.

I've only had mine a couple months...I really like it and hope it will hold up longer than that. They are not inexpensive pillows.

I replace mine once a month. You could probably go a bit longer if you don't have hard water and if you clean the humidifier once a week as recommended. I do a thorough clean only once a month and replace the filter at that time since it gets all gunky from both the dust it sucks in and the hard water build-up.

I had a U pillow for over 10 years and I loved it. Unfortunately it started to lose it shape and I needed to replace it. I ordered this Comfort U Ttl body pillow months ago and already I find that the way I use it while sleeping (resting my arm & my leg over it every night) the stuffing inside the pillow is starting to get soft. My first pillow lasted a long time before that occurred but the way this pillow is holding up it will never last 10 years. Perhaps not even 2 years. i love the pillow, I love the concept, its just that the material used inside seems to be going flat way too soon for what I spent on the pillow. Hope this helps.

I have had mine for a good year and a half of constant wear. Its a little worn down but still going. I would say about 1-2 years of every day wear before replacement

NOOO!!!!!! Mine is slowly losing it's shape and going flat. I would never buy another one again. When I lay in bed and read my nook I have to use another pillow on top of this darn $70.00 thing I bought. Good luck!

The owner's manual says replace every year for heavy use, every 2 years for normal use and every three years for light use. I use it only at night as opposed to the recommended constant 24 hour condinuous use, so I think I probably waited 4 years, which was much too long as it was really dirty.

I've had it for 1 yr now and it has retained it's shape, however, it has not provided comfort for me since I purchased the pillow. I do not recommend it. Hope this helps!

My wife has had this pillow for the last 3-4 months and the pillow has remained the same as the day it arrived.

I do not know how long they last. They are very well made, stitching excellent and materials used are superior to a previous support pillow (bought from my chiropractor, unable to wash, and at twice the price!) Fortunately, these pillows are easily cleaned. I highly recommend this product.
