If you don’t fancy having to go through the process of cleaning yellow stains and marks from your pillows and pillowcases again anytime soon, it may be time to invest in a pillow protector.
Not only will a pillow protector prevent future staining, by putting an extra layer between you and your pillow but it can ‘extend your pillow's life and enhance your sleeping experience,’ too, according to Catherine Morris, MD at Tielle Love Luxury.
‘Opt for a soft cotton zipped pillow protector, as it offers superior protection against odours, stains, and dust mites compared to the unzipped envelope-style protectors,’ she suggests. ‘Additionally, cotton is breathable and noise-free, a notable advantage over many synthetic pillow protectors.’
You can wash your pillow protector at the same time as you wash the rest of your bedding, which is why we recommend having a couple of pillow protectors so that you can ensure that your pillows are always covered.
