Restoring "foaminess" to a memory foam pillow

I bought one of these a while back and love it, however it's shrunk to about 1/3rd its original size and doesnt return to it's shape as fast.

So is this thing dead? Do I throw it in the dryer or something? Any ideas? Internet search has produced nothing

+1.

1 from Costco and one from one of those stupid expensive Sharper Image type stores. That one is older than 3 years and both are fine.

I suspect you have a knock off that is not the real memory foam...or something.

You need to hypnotize it, you obviously have repressed memory foam.

There's a store that can restore the bounce to that pillow.

It's located out in the Arizona boondocks next to a military base.

The name on the store is "ET Foam Home" [rimshot and boo's].
