The old dacron/poly pillows flatten and when washed become lumpy. Old feather pillows don't wash well and are hell to dry. I've tried to rejuvenate both types and have had no luck.
Off to the trash. I watch every penny, but if I need pillows, the $$ comes from my meager household budget.
I can't seem to rejuvenate any old pillow, no matter what it is made of. I can get a new pillow at Marshall's or similar for under $10.00. It will last me long enough to justify not trying to rejuvenate an old one.
