How To Make Sure Your Pillows Are Always Fluffy
Turn your pillows from sad to happy

On an average, you spend 8 hours with your pillows every day. Surely they deserve some TLC. Once you have vacuumed and washed them regularly, the last step is to show them off.
Happy pillows are pressed flat and stand up straight on their own, and sad pillows are the ones that slouch and look messy. Here’s how you can turn them from sad to happy in three easy steps.
Step 1: Karate chop the middle.
Not to beat them black or blue, but to make it easier to fit the pillow into the sham by folding it in half first. Then, once it unfolds inside of the pillowcase, it fits like a glove.

Step 2. Flatten them well
You need to squeeze out all of the air out of the pillow before standing it up. To do this, put your hands in the middle, then slowly move both them out in opposite directions repeatedly until your pillow is as flat as a board. You should aim for a size that is about half as thick as before you started.

Step 3. Position with care
And now, the crowning glory. Grasp the top two corners of your pillowcase and stand (not lean) the pillow up against the headboard. There you have it - a happy pillow standing tall and proud on its own!
