I had written about freezing your pillow if you have allergies when this blog started last year.  Since then I’ve had various people link in looking for some sort of technique.  I guess I assumed that everyone would know to do the following:

1. Remove the pillow case from the pillow (if you have no case on the pillow skip to step two)
2. Acquire a plastic bag such as a kitchen wastebasket trash bag and hold it open while making sure that your head goes nowhere inside of the bag to avoid suffocation
3. Insert the pillow into the plastic bag making sure that it fits in smoothly and is comfortable.  It’s going into the freezer so we have to at least be humane about the pillows placement in the bag
4. Clear out space in the freezer that is big enough to squish the pillow into.  You may consider turning off the ice maker and removing the ice tray if that looks like it may fit some of the space of the pillow.  If you have a firm pillow you will probably want to fit the pillow in a width wise direction rather than causing lots of tension in a depth wise orientation, it could open the freezer and reduce the effectiveness of pillow freezing.
5. Freeze the pillow for a work day while you’re out earning money
6. Remove the pillow from the freezer and bag about an hour before you go to bed so as to let your head lay down on a warmish pillow
7. Sleep well
