Different types of pillows may experience yellowing in unique ways. For example:
Feather Pillows: Tend to absorb oils deeply, requiring gentle but thorough cleaning.
Memory Foam Pillows: Can trap moisture and oils internally; often need specialized cleaning methods.
Polyester Pillows: Usually more resistant to stains but still benefit from regular care.
