Pillow Protectors

Are pillow protectors a good idea?

Pillows take quite a bruising; moisture from your head and breath, natural oils and facial creams can all work their way into your pillow. The result? It looks and feels less than lovely and creates the sort of home that mites and bacteria love.

Fight back and let pillow protectors take the brunt. Wash your pillow protector regularly to help keep your pillows beautifully clean, inside and out.

Our pillow protectors also add an extra layer of cushioning to your pillow for an extra touch of bedtime luxury. And if you love the feeling of a fresh, cool pillow then why not try our clever cooling pillow protector, for a fresher night's sleep.

How do I choose a pillow protector?

When choosing a pillow protector there are several factors for you to consider. There are a wide range of pillow protectors to choose from. Here are some things for you to consider:
- Do you need a waterproof pillow protector or a luxury pillow protector that is simply water resistant?
- What is your pillow filled with? A cotton pillow protector is naturally breathable letting you benefit from natural pillow fills such as cotton, wool and down.
- Would you like extra comfort? A quilted pillow protector adds an extra layer of softness to your pillow, making bedtime even comfier.
- What size is your pillow? Super king pillow protectors are made especially for larger king size pillows. If you have a regular pillow, you’ll need a regular size pillow protector.

What are the benefits of a waterproof pillow protector?

A waterproof pillow protector has been designed to keep your pillow completely protected from moisture. That could be the moisture from accidental spillages or the moisture that naturally accumulates in your pillow as you sleep.

By using a waterproof pillow protector your pillow will stay at its best for longer because the fill won't be affected by a build-up of moisture. This moisture build-up can cause your pillow fill to deteriorate over time. It also encourages the build-up of bacteria and allergens such as moulds.

What type of pillow cover is best for hair?

The best pillow cover for your hair is believed to be a silk pillowcase. That’s because silk is exceptionally smooth and this can help reduce friction, frizz and tangles as you sleep. They are especially useful if you have curly hair. A silk pillowcase also helps your hair retain moisture which can help prevent frizz. A silk pillowcase should be regularly washed to ensure it remains hygienic. We’d recommend you use a silk pillowcase with a pillow protector to protect your pillow from the build-up of hair and skin products that may otherwise be absorbed by your pillow.
