Can you return pillows?

Can you return pillows?

While you are shopping for this coming Christmas holiday, you did not notice that you have already entered the Home Decor section of the mall because you got attracted to the pillow design displayed on the couch.

In the end, you bought the pillow because you find it so cute, and when you finally use the pillow at night, you find it very uncomfortable. The next day, you woke and gushingly went to the mall without even knowing if you could return the pillow. Well, here is what I have found out:

The pillow you bought is a personal care item; therefore, once you have already laid your head into it, in most cases you cannot return the item. Moreover, once the plastic packaging is removed from the pillow, there will be no exchange. However, some stores may be exceptions from the general rule.

That is why you must be careful when buying your pillows because of the "no-exchange policy" imposed by some stores. You will end up wasting your money because some stores will not give a refund for returning the pillow you bought.

Hence, to give you more information in regards to this, I will give you the rundown of the stores where you can possibly return pillows and the stores where you cannot return a used pillow.
