Why do you need a pillow protector?
Without a protector on your pillow, your pillow will get dirty from all the oils and dirt that come off your body as you sleep. By simply placing a pillow protector on your pillow, you will increase the longevity of your pillow.
Can bed / dust mites get through pillow protectors?
Although there are some pillow protectors that are specialised for dust and bed bugs, most pillow protectors offer minimal protection against bed bugs. It is recommended that if you do have bed bugs you seek professional help.
What's the difference between a mattress topper and a mattress protector?
A mattress topper is a prefilled extra layer of comfort and is not specifically designed to help with protecting your mattresses or contain spills. A mattress protector on the other hand, is designed to keep your mattress clean from spills, oils, dirt and other bacteria.
How often should I wash my pillow protector?
We would suggest you should wash your pillow protector as often as you wash your bed sheets. They'll both get dirty the same amount over time so it would be wise to do that. We would suggest you wash your bedding every 2 weeks.
Do you put a pillowcase over a pillow protector?
Yes, a pillowcase should always go on top of your pillow protector. A pillowcase is designed to be both nice to the touch but also look good. A protector doesn't nessacarily look the best, so putting a pillowcase over the top allows you to express yourself!
