Troubleshooting
Pillow does not seem to regain its full shape after unpacking.
Allow more time for the pillow to decompress. Gently fluff and shape the pillow with your hands. Ensure it is not being pressed down by other items.
Pillowcase feels tight or difficult to put on.
Ensure the pillow insert is fully expanded. Try to gently stuff the pillow into the case, starting with one section at a time.
Pillowcase has a persistent odor.
Wash the pillowcase again using a mild detergent and consider adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. Air dry completely.
Pillow is too firm or too soft.
Some settling may occur over time. If it's too firm, try to gently fluff and redistribute the filling. If too soft, you may need to replace the filling over time or consider adding more if the design allows for it.
