Oh, how we love a soft, comfortable pillow. Sometimes, we even take small pillows on holiday and use them to sleep softly during the flight, train journey, hellishly bumpy car ride as we wish. They're even better when they're different colours too, and not just because this means you won't notice the thousands of dead skin cells you're leaving behind.

Did you know that the average 10-ounce pillow will actually double in weight within 3 short years? That's nothing to do with wear and tear, and everything to do with the fact it becomes a cheery skin bag that carries all of your old cells.

You're already throwing those pillows and cushions into the washing machine, aren't you?
