A good cleaning every few years will help your comforter last a long time. Sukalac told us he’s seen comforters last up to 30 years with regular washing. Still, you may want to freshen up or rejuvenate a deflated comforter between washes, especially if you notice that it’s aggravating any allergies.
Sukalac suggests running a comforter through the dryer for about an hour every three to four weeks to kill dust mites and dry out any moisture that has accumulated from the air or from sweat during sleep. Low heat is ideal, but to address dust mites, Sukalac again recommends using high heat for 20 minutes and then lowering the heat for the rest of the cycle.
If, after several years of washing your comforter at home, it remains flat and lackluster despite your best efforts, you have another option (aside from replacing it). You can take it to an expert for a deep cleaning to properly remove years of build-up, which can flatten a comforter over its lifetime. “If you put it in the dryer after a number of years and it doesn’t fluff up enough for you, it’s time for us to wash it,” Sukalac said.
