Here is why pillows become yellow, and you should know what it means 298

A man named Cam sparked a viral debate online after revealing his heavily stained “Yellow Pillow,” calling it his secret to the best sleep ever. While some found the pillow gross, others related to his attachment. The yellowing, experts say, comes from sweat, skin oils, and drool absorbed over time.

To avoid yellow pillows, wash pillowcases frequently, clean pillows every 3–6 months, and use moisture-wicking covers. Going to bed with dry hair and checking pillow care instructions can also help. Whether you find it nostalgic or nasty, proper pillow hygiene ensures better sleep and less staining!
