Re: what to do with old bed pillows?

  • I use mine as inserts in throw pillows. If they are fiberfill you can even cut them down to size and use the extra bits as additional stuffing (since they are flat). Don't try this with down, though, or you'll end up with a mess.

    I have also done this to make extra beds for the dog.

  • Make another pillow or something pillow like i.e. decorative pillow, animal bed, something for the upcoming baby like one of those wrap around pillows to help them situp. Offer them for free on craigslist or freecycle.  Donate them.
  • Donate them to an animal shelter.  The ones around here actually ask for them for the dogs.

  • Goodness, I need to do this, too! It seems like we have sooo many extra pillows. Don't ask me why donating them to an animal shelter wasn't an obvious choice...
