Duvets when I swap them seasonally. Unless a child or cat has an incident on them in between. Pillows, as everyone else says - binned eventually!

No I have never been successful in washing pillows either. I buy them when they are on special offer and renew when necessary. Duvets only washed annually unless necessary more often.

Only single duvets will fit in a standard washing machine and I find pillows go all wrong after washing unless you have a tumble drier, which I don't. So, no I don't wash them regularly.

Once a year for duvets, not at all for pillows as they are feather filled, so we change them for new ones when we need to.

I read that duvets and pillows should be washed every 3-6 months - do you? It seems like a major faff tbh.
