A down pillow can last 1 to 3 years and should be replaced when it flattens or fails to spring back after being folded. Down alternative pillows usually need to be replaced after 1 to 2 years, but sometimes as soon as 6 months. Cheaper down alternatives, such as polyester, tend to flatten out sooner than higher end materials such as microfiber or cotton.
