Time for a Summer Refresh: Why It’s Time to Replace Your Pillow & Duvet Inserts

Time for a Summer Refresh: Why It’s Time to Replace Your Pillow & Duvet Inserts

As the days get longer and the nights warmer, there’s no better time to refresh your bedding — and not just your sheets and covers. Summer is the perfect season to check in on what’s inside your bedding: your pillows and duvet inserts.

Why You Should Replace Your Inserts

 

Over time, your inserts can accumulate dust mites, sweat, dead skin cells, and bacteria — even with protective covers. This buildup can lead to allergies, asthma symptoms, skin irritation, and that telltale yellowing we all dread. Experts recommend:

  • Pillows: Replace every 1–2 years

  • Duvet Inserts: Replace every 3–5 years, depending on quality and usage

If your pillow is flat, your duvet feels heavy and clumpy, or you’re waking up congested or uncomfortable — it might be time for an upgrade.

 

Switch to Summer Weight Inserts

 

Hot sleepers, rejoice: Pom Pom at Home offers a range of lightweight summer inserts designed to keep you cool, fresh, and supported all season long. We use a 233-thread count 100% cotton shell for breathability and comfort, available in down and down alternative options.

Designed with multiple inner chambers to evenly distribute fill, our Compartment Pillow Insert combines 80% white duck feather and 20% white duck down for the perfect balance of structure and softness. The multi-compartment construction prevents shifting and clumping, ensuring consistent support night after night.
