The quickest daily fix. Grab the short ends of the pillow and push them together and apart repeatedly for about 30 seconds. Rotate the pillow 90 degrees and repeat on the long sides to ensure an even distribution of air.
Place the pillow in the dryer on a no-heat or low-heat setting for 15–20 minutes. Adding two clean tennis balls (tucked into socks) or wool dryer balls provides mechanical action to beat out lumps and maximize loft.
Laying pillows in direct sunlight for 2–3 hours helps evaporate trapped moisture and naturally deodorizes the fibers. This is particularly effective for memory foam, which cannot be put in a dryer. How To Fluff a Pillow: 6 Tips for a Refresh | Casper Blog

For pillows that feel lumpy, use your hands to "knead" the material like dough. This breaks up stubborn clumps in down or fiberfill and allows for better airflow.
