Yes, you can. I was very hesitant to wash my pillows made of down and of a down and feather mix, but it was wash them or throw them out. I washed them in hot water with a little laundry detergent, rinsed 3 times (no softner) and then put them in the dryer on warm with 3 tennis balls. Make sure you dry them well. I did not get the pillows completely dry the first time I tried this and they ended up smelling funky after a few days. I rewashed them using the above procedure and dried them again. They turned out fine. Then I got brave and put my feather comforter in the washer and it turned out great too. Sure beats sending it to the cleaner. My pillow cases (the ticking)were getting pretty thin so before I started the whole procedure I put new material over the old to make sure they wouldn't tear during the washing. I would definitely do this again.
