PSA: My favorite napping pillow totally betrayed me last night

I've been using this big fluffy memory foam pillow for like 2 years and it was my go-to for couch naps. But last night I went to fluff it up and it just... stayed flat, no bounce back at all, like a sad pancake. Has anyone else had a pillow just give up on them suddenly, or did I finally wear it out after too many naps?

Man, did you toss it in the dryer to see if it just needed some heat?

Three times before it finally gave up, yeah that tracks with how everything wears out faster now. @ray_miller84 you hit on something real with the heat trick, it's wild how much mileage you can squeeze out of stuff if you just try one more weird fix before trashing it.

Tossed mine in the dryer on low heat with a couple tennis balls and it came back to life pretty good. Helped break up the clumps of foam that got all smashed down. Let it cool completely before you use it again though, the heat can make the memory foam soft and weird at first. Worked for me like 3 times before the pillow finally gave up the ghost for good and I had to get a new one.
