PostHeaderIcon Are tempur-pedic pillows washable? These don’t have covers, they are the actual pillows themselves.?


I tried it on gentle and broke one in half. Spray on a little dish washing liquid, spray with water hose, let dry in sun.

PostHeaderIcon Do I have bedbugs in my mattress or pillows?

I have been getting what appear to be bug bites on my arms for the past 2 weeks. They’re usually in groups and they vary in itchiness and sometimes don’t last long. The only other place I have gotten bitten was on my neck right under my right jaw. The bites are ONLY on my arms.

I have searched my mattress and box-spring and haven’t found any signs of them (no waste or live bugs).

It’s really becoming difficult to fall asleep because when I lay down I constantly feel tingly. My mattress is 10 years old, and I also have a 4 year old reading pillow on my bed. I’ve looked up info on dust mites and bed bugs and I’m just at a loss.

I don’t even know how I could have gotten them! I don’t travel anywhere.

It’s quite common to find blood spots on the sheets if Bedbugs have been feeding on you. If there is no sign of any blood, they could be flea bites, although you would expect to be bitten on the lower legs as well, if they were so. The best thing to do is to seek medical help to first diagnose if they are bites and, if so, what is doing the biting. Then you can take measures to eradicate them.

PostHeaderIcon what can i do about my uncomfortable tub?

the back of my tub is straight up no slant, sitting in the tub is almost like sitting on the floor with my back against the wall, i but a bath pillow but it doesnt help

I pretty much say your screwed unless you buy a new tub. Or just start taking showers.

PostHeaderIcon Does anyone know the best way to store duck feather & goose down quilts & pillows?

I don’t think you can vacuum pack them.

No plastic! Either leave them on a bed or pack them in a wood chest lined with a blanket. Fold them oddly (not in halves until it gets to the right size) and take it out every so often and shake it out and refold it a different way.
