You may think that when a pillow goes flat, it’s time to toss it. But that isn’t the case!
If your favorite pillow is down or feather-filled, it can be brought back to life.
Enter: Pillow Rejuvenation.
You may or may not have heard of Pillow Rejuvenation before. But we’re here to tell you why it works, and why it’s a better option than throwing away your old pillows.
What Is Pillow Rejuvenation?
Pillow rejuvenation is exactly what it sounds like: a fresh start for your favorite down or feather pillow. At Kean’s, we don’t just clean the outside of your pillow, we restore the inside too.
Here’s how it works:
- We open the pillow and remove the filling. The original down or feather contents are carefully emptied from the ticking (outer shell) so they can be treated properly.
- The filling goes through a UV light sanitation chamber. This special machine uses ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, neutralize odors, and refresh the feathers without damaging them.
- Additional feathers can be added, if needed. If your pillow has lost its loft or feels too soft, we can add more fill to bring back that plush, supportive feel.
- Then it’s sealed into a brand-new case. This clean, breathable outer shell gives your rejuvenated pillow a fresh, hotel-like finish.
The result? A pillow that feels and smells like new, without the cost or waste of buying a brand-new one.
Why Pillow Rejuvenation Beats Buying New
Replacing a high-end pillow might seem like the easier route – but rejuvenation offers real advantages that make it a smarter (and often more satisfying) choice.
It’s Cost-Effective
High-quality down or feather pillows can cost a small fortune. Rejuvenation lets you preserve the luxurious feel of a premium pillow for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
Better Than Most New Pillows
Today’s store-bought pillows often contain synthetic fills or low-grade feather blends that don’t breathe as well or last as long. By rejuvenating your original, high-quality down fill, you’re keeping a better product than most new options can offer.
Customizable Comfort
Too flat? Too firm? We’ve got you. During rejuvenation, we can add additional down to your pillow to adjust the loft exactly how you like it – something you can’t do off the shelf.
Signs It’s Time to Rejuvenate Your Pillow
Even the best pillows don’t last forever – and most people wait far too long to replace or refresh them. Here’s how to know when your pillow is due for a tune-up:
It Looks Lumpy or Uneven
No matter how much you fluff it, the pillow still looks misshapen. That’s a telltale sign the filling has clumped or shifted – something rejuvenation can fix by redistributing and refreshing the feathers inside.
You Wake Up with Neck Pain
Flat or uneven pillows don’t support your head and neck the way they should. If you’re waking up with stiffness or discomfort, your pillow may be past its prime.
It Smells… Off
Even with a clean pillowcase, you might notice a musty or stale odor. That’s because the filling inside has absorbed YEARS of sweat, oils, and bacteria. A UV sanitation treatment can eliminate those odors at the source.
It’s Yellowing or Stained
Discoloration is a clear visual cue that your pillow’s been through a lot. Over time, moisture and oils from skin and hair seep through even the best pillow protectors.
It’s Been 3–5 Years (or More!)
Down and feather pillows should be rejuvenated every few years to keep them supportive, sanitary, and in good shape. If it’s been a while – or you can’t remember when you last replaced yours – it’s probably time.
Can’t I Just Wash It at Home?
Washing a feather or down pillow at home might seem easy, but it often does more harm than good. The feathers clump together, moisture gets trapped inside, and most machines can’t sanitize thoroughly. Drying is tricky too. If not done just right, it can lead to mildew or damage the fill.
Kean’s rejuvenation process avoids all that. We sanitize with UV light, restore loft, and seal everything in a fresh cover – giving your pillow new life without the risks of DIY.
