To be fair as a guy I didn't know you could wash pillows, was never taught it as a kid(my parents would usually give us new ones every Christmas) and it's never come up anytime since until a year ago. Had bought some pillows and my roommate made a comment about it when I brought them home so I mentioned I hated buying new pillows every year he immediately lost his shit laughing. He told me if I had bothered to actually read the tag I would've noticed the washing directions on there. I was 34. It just never occurred to me honestly.
No. The punchline is using a pillow so much that the sweat you produce while sleeping stains the pillow yellow. However, the amount of sweat necessary to create such a buildup takes a very, very long time, and the reason the pillow is so comfortable is because it is broken-in completely after being used for such a long time and is therefore very soft.
That pillow saw potty training, early teens, college, marriage, his own children's potty training, divorce, mid-life crisis, and finally, the nursing home incontinence.
Thank you, Mike Lindell.
I'd say that if he didn't wash it for long enough to get it to this state, throwing it into a washing machine ain't gonna do much.
Even if you could get it to an acceptable state, I wouldn't bother going through all the trouble, especially since he already has a new one.
Not all of them support it as well as the others though. Like feather pillows are meant to be washed by hand or the feathers will break. Only the synthetic, "common" pillow can be slapped in a machine. Some pillows are very delicate I'm sure some specialized pillows will require even more care
Even when I'm not washing my pillows, I put them out in the sun for most of the day whenever i wash my sheets so they get some fresh air and sunlight.
And then, yeah, I wash them every couple of months. That's the reason I refuse to have any kind of feather pillow or doonas, I'm not having stuff you can't wash.
Honestly… I just learned this now. I always imagined it would clog the washer or something idk.. I only washed cases and threw pillows away when they seemed to get “old” that’s crazy.
… I just changed mine a few months ago after like a decade of use and I think I washed it once in that time. It did look similar to this, just more yellow less shit coloured…
I’d post a pic if I could.
At that stage washing won't change the color much... But an overnight soak in oxyclean will. Just expect to run it through a dozen rinses to get out the smell.
Oh if it's feather pillow it will ruin the feathers which in 25 years are a strong breeze away from turning to dust you have to open up the pillow take out the feathers wash the pillow and the feathers(or just get new feathers) then sew it back up also a pillow case or rather two are a good investment you can change it and wash it and not ruin your pillow casing
They don't smell, when i was little our pillows were like that, when i grew up i understood that the pillows are that way because my parents didn't think about watching them....
Whenever I see the posts with the horribly discolored pillows and mattress pads all I can ask is what kind of person are you? How were you raised to think this is okay?
Every two months we get a post that's like "where are my dudes at? Anyway you know how we all shit blood on Wednesdays, right?" and half the thread is like "what the fuck man" and half the thread is like "yeah and?"
A pillow like that has shared all the trauma, heart ache, sickness and sadness we as men are told to not outwardly show. Its been with us when our nightmares get the better of us and we wake in a cold sweat
Girls don't know what it's like holding onto something that isn't as good looking as when you first got it,
Men will keep patchwork clothes and shoes because they were there for us when we needed them
My dad had a really weird thing where his body oils or something destroyed furniture. Beds, pillows, couches, chairs. It was super weird. It's not like he was a dirty guy, far from it. It was like he was acidic to anything.
Look, I agreed with this at one point, I really did, but I threw out both of my yellows like a week and a half ago in favor of two new ones. I hadn’t realized they smelled as bad as they did but considering they were beige going on brown, and no longer in the yellow stage, I tossed them for two new pillows with cases
I take all of my pillowcases and put them on my pillow at once and then I peel one off every 3 days. Then I wash the pilot pillowcases and put them all back on but I never let it get down to less than three pillowcases on my pillow at any given time.
But they just don't make pillows like that anymore though! I had one that looked a lot like this. It was the perfect thickness and flexibility to wrap around your arm when you sleep on your front. Just perfect.
I am a guy and i will never understand that either. Because here where i live we cover our pillows with a thing called "fronha" so they don't get like that
ok.. I'm not joking,I have nearly that same gross pillow. but I can't find a pillow that I can comfortably sleep on, just likeinthe picture the gross pillow is flat-ish and anytime I try a new pillow it's too think.. I legit need a new one,buti also need to sleep..
If you've washed it, and it's like a book where it has yellowed from wear and tear and age, sure, whatever. If it's still comfortable, why not. But this looks like there are oils and dead skin compacted in the middle and that's why the wrinkles are the way they are. I would say this is nasty, but if you wash it, and it's just like this from years of use. As long as it's still comfortable and the person that sleeps next to you is comfortable with it, what's the problem. I use shoes until there are holes in the sole, or the sides to where I'm wearing a flip flop. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Yellow-ISH??
Yellow and brown-ish. This is disgusting
Indeed, I don’t think it’s just girl‘s that wouldn’t understand this lol
I still have a pillow i was put on when i was born. Its also kinda yellowish, does that count?
Put a clean pillowcase on it and presto...
Real OG's do the double pillowcase 😎
The real real OG's stuff double pillows in one case
Girls just grind their pillows so…..
We still wash it, though.
No frequency of washing will remove 10 years of sweat and... Other fluids.
Overnight soak in oxyclean will remove the yellow brown color. They wash it like laundry.
I guess, the punchline is cumming on the pillow?
No the punchline is using it way too long and wash it something between once every two years and never.
To be fair as a guy I didn't know you could wash pillows, was never taught it as a kid(my parents would usually give us new ones every Christmas) and it's never come up anytime since until a year ago. Had bought some pillows and my roommate made a comment about it when I brought them home so I mentioned I hated buying new pillows every year he immediately lost his shit laughing. He told me if I had bothered to actually read the tag I would've noticed the washing directions on there. I was 34. It just never occurred to me honestly.
Yes, all of this is correct.
No. The punchline is using a pillow so much that the sweat you produce while sleeping stains the pillow yellow. However, the amount of sweat necessary to create such a buildup takes a very, very long time, and the reason the pillow is so comfortable is because it is broken-in completely after being used for such a long time and is therefore very soft.
Not putting ' when needed is understandable, but I will never understand why people put ' where it doesn't belong.
It's yellow ish because it's mostly brown lol
Looks fine to me
Damn thing looks like it was washed with mustard.
Likely has a mustard and vinegar smell to it also. Who doesn’t want to sleep on an Italian Hoagie?
Diarrhea-ish.
Like... i've had yellow-ish, but not anywhere close to this shit
tons of dead skin cells. never washed. mo dust cover
The same color and texture of an old west wanted poster. -Kyle Kinane
Crusty-ish
My thought exactly. I'm not the best a defcyfering colors.. But that is not even yellow anymore in my eyes.
That pillow saw potty training, early teens, college, marriage, his own children's potty training, divorce, mid-life crisis, and finally, the nursing home incontinence. Thank you, Mike Lindell. 
Promocode: Poso
The pillow was the one (unsuccessfully) potty trained
Just put that old pillow in the damn \*washing machine!
Which machine?
I will NOT stuff a pillow into my wife
I also won't stuff a pillow into this guy's wife.
How good is your washing machine. My fucking toilet bowl looks cleaner than that
any will do lol this is just sweat, not feces
It might be too late for that I'm afraid
That’s still got another decade. Mines about 27 years old. Once you find the comfortable pillow you never let it go.
it's not
I'd say that if he didn't wash it for long enough to get it to this state, throwing it into a washing machine ain't gonna do much. Even if you could get it to an acceptable state, I wouldn't bother going through all the trouble, especially since he already has a new one.
You underestimate the magic of bleach.
Wdym it's not gonna do much It's gonna fucking wash the pillow is what's going to happen, what about this is confusing lmao
i ruined my pillow last time i washed it so now i'm just washing the case, still looks pristine though
Are you stuck step pillow?
No way. It would disintegrate.
I have a very old pillow too, but good lord I wash mine. It has two pillowcases, the inner one never touches me, but I wash that too
A lot of people don’t seem to realize you’re supposed to wash the pillow itself as well, not just the case.
.... How often?
Every 3 months
Oh... cool... yeah i totally do that because hygiene... yeah
We just got a Dyson, I used Turbo on my blanket / pillow, the amount of just fully grey dust, filled up nearly 1.5 containers.
I think I am about 8 years overdue
*mmmmmmmmmm*
Not all of them support it as well as the others though. Like feather pillows are meant to be washed by hand or the feathers will break. Only the synthetic, "common" pillow can be slapped in a machine. Some pillows are very delicate I'm sure some specialized pillows will require even more care

Honestly… I just learned this now. I always imagined it would clog the washer or something idk.. I only washed cases and threw pillows away when they seemed to get “old” that’s crazy.
as a man... thats pretty gross. they can be washed you know
… I just changed mine a few months ago after like a decade of use and I think I washed it once in that time. It did look similar to this, just more yellow less shit coloured… I’d post a pic if I could.
Yeah don’t lump me into this by saying “all men” I wouldn’t be caught dead using a pillow like that
At that stage washing won't change the color much... But an overnight soak in oxyclean will. Just expect to run it through a dozen rinses to get out the smell.
No, I actually didn’t know this. I was always told it’ll ruin the feathers. Mines 25-27 years old and never washed.
Oh if it's feather pillow it will ruin the feathers which in 25 years are a strong breeze away from turning to dust you have to open up the pillow take out the feathers wash the pillow and the feathers(or just get new feathers) then sew it back up also a pillow case or rather two are a good investment you can change it and wash it and not ruin your pillow casing
did you know that you can wash pillows in the washing machine ? and you can tumble dry them at low heat ...
I did not know that! Thank you!
if it's that bad , ad a quarter cup of bleach before putting in the pillow.
I washed mine and it destroyed the filling. It's not a lame blue whale pillow from Wal-Mart though.
 Imagine the smell
It doesn't smell
Mine did, so I had to let it go.
How TF did you obtained this footage of me letting go?!
They don't smell, when i was little our pillows were like that, when i grew up i understood that the pillows are that way because my parents didn't think about watching them....
Thats disgusting.
I can't understand how this thread isn't everyone agreeing OP is disgusting. This is some too-fat-to-move shit.
im a man and I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS!! bro wash that shit lmao
Whenever I see the posts with the horribly discolored pillows and mattress pads all I can ask is what kind of person are you? How were you raised to think this is okay?
I don't know about you guys but I wash my pillow.
you're supposed to wash the covers not the pillow itself.
Depends on the pillow. Many of them can be thrown in the washer, but not always.
I wash mine all the time, you just can’t throw them in the dryer, it clumps up the synthetic cotton.
Did they shit on their pillow? And kept sleeping with it??
Its years of sweat/oil buildup
Ear wax.
Also drool, not in their control
You know what *is* in their control? 
I just saw this yesterday and I thought it was a girl posting and someone saying that they were surprised girls do this too.
Yep, can confirm Source: trust me bro
Did bro smoke in his sleep wtf.
If it's yellow let it mellow. If it looks like this throw it away.
Thats very accurate... guess I need a new one.
Og post had the posters pfp of a girl so
Ive heard some terrifying stories of old unwashed pillows n how like 70% of its weight is basically mite shit.
I’ve slept in worse.
Quarantine. Q-U-A-R-A-N-T-I-N-E. Quarantine.
Wash it you gross fuck
Washing it with dish washer soap as the detergent does miracles.
I mean you can keep it but why not wash it ? plus doesn't the smell bother you ?
There’s no smell on yellow pillows, only memories and comfort.
I just realized that it didn’t start that color what the fu-
No, what in the devil's name is that
Every two months we get a post that's like "where are my dudes at? Anyway you know how we all shit blood on Wednesdays, right?" and half the thread is like "what the fuck man" and half the thread is like "yeah and?"
Ngl I had one and a old gf like 20 yrs ago made me toss it. I haven’t had a good night sleep in 20 years and I’m grumpy all the time now
Bro? wtf are you eating
How do you think pillows work?
a mans yellow pillow is ok no problems with that BUT THATS BROWN
that can grow mushrooms dont throw it use it as a form of income
You damn well know that pillow can fold 3 times, has 2 cold sides and is comfy af
Farewell old friend. Had to cut ties with one of these good boys too when I got into a relationship.
A pillow like that has shared all the trauma, heart ache, sickness and sadness we as men are told to not outwardly show. Its been with us when our nightmares get the better of us and we wake in a cold sweat
Please wash your pillows
My wife called my old pillow thick. It somehow makes sense.
Mine saw wet hair.
 That's it, you get a fine for that pillow
I've had my pillow since I was 5, it doesn't look like this BECAUSE I WASH IT
They do not use covers??
I still remember the first time I washed my 5 year old pillow... The liquids that came out of it had me gagging😭💀
Girls don't know what it's like holding onto something that isn't as good looking as when you first got it, Men will keep patchwork clothes and shoes because they were there for us when we needed them
It always amuses me when people say women wouldn't understand, without ever realising that a lot of women have the same pillow.
Thouse old pillows are amazing, just fucking wash em tho
Gee I wonder why??
There's a difference between old pillows and this You been wiping your ass with that pillow for ten years or what
As a dude...this ain't a thing. You are just nasty.🤣
How many packs a day does that pillow smoke?
I mean. I know we like to joke about our “yellow pillow” but what in the actual fuck
that’s a well-slept pillow.
My dad had a really weird thing where his body oils or something destroyed furniture. Beds, pillows, couches, chairs. It was super weird. It's not like he was a dirty guy, far from it. It was like he was acidic to anything.
Bro said yellow mufuka that's a shit stained pillow 😭😭😭
jokes on you i dont use a pillow
Look, I agreed with this at one point, I really did, but I threw out both of my yellows like a week and a half ago in favor of two new ones. I hadn’t realized they smelled as bad as they did but considering they were beige going on brown, and no longer in the yellow stage, I tossed them for two new pillows with cases
It’s contaminating the newer one tho
I thought this post was about their new "bread" pillow xD had me fooled for a good sec
Yellow-ish dude that pillow has been used more times to wipe someone arse after a shit them to lut your head on
At this point just bleach it
The fuck is that
I thought it was a tamale.
That's not a pillow, it's a loaf of bread
That's not yellow, man. That's baby poop brown.
Sigh doods mean comfort by association, ex gfs this is ur domain n yall know what's up
rip 😭
I have acute gingivitis and my pillows are cleaner than that abomination.
That is sweat. It is fucking gross. At least wash 4 times per year.
Internet ruined me so bad I thought thise pillows were f*cking
And that's why you use a pillow case and change it frequently.
WTF
I take all of my pillowcases and put them on my pillow at once and then I peel one off every 3 days. Then I wash the pilot pillowcases and put them all back on but I never let it get down to less than three pillowcases on my pillow at any given time.
Bro is an org
Do you smoke in bed, motherfucker? I have 5 year old pillows that, while not crispy white, are not fucking yellow.
Disgusting
Bro you can wash your pillows, why would you wash a pillow case and put it on something that disgusting
Is that a duck feather pillow? (The old one)
I still have my gold pillow and it’s impossible to wash it because the water can’t penetrate the oil protected layer…
It still holds the stuffing though. Why get rid of it?
People saying "they can be washed". To shreds, you say?
And here I thought I was being gross bc my pillow slightly off white.
Dude! Gross! Your old pillow is f*ing the new one!!
Friendly reminder that many pillows can be put in the washing machine
Did you pee and shit on that? Oh there's also a white space 😂
My older brother probably still has like 3 of them. Fucking gross
True
That's not pee sis, that's squirt.
"WhY dO i HaVe So MuCh AcNe" Their pillow:
Your mom gets mad at pillows too eh?
Wow how did you never get corona? Their pillow:
Did you sleep on that or use it to soak up piss?
The smell of it calms me.
I love smores.
I thought one was humping the other.
Nah that pillow is vile
I've been using the same pillow for 30 years now.
Take this to a pillow fight and you might actually commit a war crime by killing your opponent with a goddamn bio weapon
But they just don't make pillows like that anymore though! I had one that looked a lot like this. It was the perfect thickness and flexibility to wrap around your arm when you sleep on your front. Just perfect.
I am a guy and i will never understand that either. Because here where i live we cover our pillows with a thing called "fronha" so they don't get like that
As a man, WTF that shit needs bleach and an exorcist
I thought tamale season came early this year.
The fucking peellow
Ok, how are you guys washing pillows? It ruins the feathers….
Scalp and brain grime
ok.. I'm not joking,I have nearly that same gross pillow. but I can't find a pillow that I can comfortably sleep on, just likeinthe picture the gross pillow is flat-ish and anytime I try a new pillow it's too think.. I legit need a new one,buti also need to sleep..
Yellow-ish? That shit is brown my guy.
Man i dont think even burning that pillow gonna be a good idea. Need elon musk to send the pillow into space.
The title makes no sense, considering that was a woman who tweeted that a few days ago
with a pillow like that i wouldn’t trust my own health
Acne should clear up now lol
Wash your fucking pillow you moron
Men smh
Just tossing them to washing machine hits different, and gotta sniff that newly applied fabric softener while crying.
Mine are still white but, this has me wanting to replace them. I'm a dude. Pillow have always been the most comfortable when new and clean.
That pillow has seen some sweat stains and no soap
If only they knew the reason was because we didn't have a pillowcase nor wanted to go get one.
If you've washed it, and it's like a book where it has yellowed from wear and tear and age, sure, whatever. If it's still comfortable, why not. But this looks like there are oils and dead skin compacted in the middle and that's why the wrinkles are the way they are. I would say this is nasty, but if you wash it, and it's just like this from years of use. As long as it's still comfortable and the person that sleeps next to you is comfortable with it, what's the problem. I use shoes until there are holes in the sole, or the sides to where I'm wearing a flip flop. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Who shit the pillow
What the FUCK I thought it was just a yellow-brownish fuzzy pillow case
Omg. Get it away from the new one. Haha.
