I don't think it's nuts, but on the other hand I'm not sure it will work. I’m no expert, but I doubt freezing your pillows will kill germs in them. It’ll just make the germs cold and slow them down. They’ll thaw out when the pillow thaws. Mind you, I’m basing this on the assumption that freezing food doesn’t kill off the germs. Of course, the things that live in pillows might not be the same things as the things that live in dead animals…
I reckon washing is more likely to be effective, but as you say, there’s the lump problem. I’ve heard that putting a couple of tennis balls in the wash (and in the dryer) can help prevent lumpiness. It might depend on what the pillows are made of.
