How do you wash pillows?

I find

that by the time they need washing they have lost their loft if they are cheap pillows. I'm allergic to down.
We have two nice anti stain quilted ones. We got them from the store with our mattress set and the companion cover.
Wash the cases weekly, no problem.
For those who may know the movie "Clerks 2", pillow pants says no. Maybe it was a New Jersey thing.

I am supposedly allergic to feather pillows...however...ever since I learned that in 1989, I have washed them twice a year two at a time in hot water and clorox...then dry in my gas dryer for about 3 hours with some tennis balls.  I don't have any allergy problems from the pillows now.  We frequently wash our throw pillows that are fiber filled, just toss them in the Miele with the regular colors and then in the dryer.  We may have to remove the clothes that get dry first and then restart the dryer with just the pillows afterwards but they do fine.
