What is a pillow protector?

A pillow protector is an extra encasement and it helps shield your pillow shell from unwanted things like spills, dust mites, bed bugs, stains, sweat, and other moisture. Unlike most pillow covers, a pillow protector has a zipper closure and you can even put a pillowcase over it. By using pillow protectors, you can extend the life of your pillows as well as keep dust, bacteria, and liquid out.

Should my pillow protector be waterproof?

A waterproof pillow protector is an additional benefit to look for when purchasing a protector. Water-resistant or waterproof pillow protectors are ideal because they can prevent stains from liquids as well as protect from mold or mildew. The waterproof surface on our pillow protector makes cleaning up spills as easy as 1-2-3.

How often should you wash a pillow protector?

We recommend washing your pillow protector about once every month. Our pillow protector is made of machine washable fabric which makes cleaning even more convenient. Wash with a mild detergent on cold in a gentle cycle, making sure that the protector is unzipped with the waterproof backing facing in. You can dry the protector on tumble dry low. Be sure to not use fabric softener or bleach and to not iron or dry-clean as well. Washing your pillow protector is important because you'll want to remove any tough stains and increase your pillow’s lifespan to continue effectively protecting against dust mites, allergens, and moisture throughout the night.
