Product Description

Did you know that every bed needs a Protect-A-Bed Pillow Protector? FACT: Every night the human body loses a liter of body fluids through the skin pores and mouth, as well as millions of skin flakes. Unprotected mattresses thereby create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and dust mites (a major cause of asthma, eczema and rhinitis). You can control this by fitting a Protect-A-Bed Premium Mattress Protector, which is also especially helpful in cases of incontinence. This waterproof pillow protector zippers to secure in place and its cotton, terry-cloth fabric toplayer is soft and comfortable under your sheets. Guaranteed against leaks or tears for 5 years or the factory will replace the pad at no cost. (Standard Pillow Size: 21x27 in.) Wash before use for best results. Do not bleach or dry clean.

Customer Reviews

Very nice pillow protector
I was skeptical about buying these pillow protector covers sight-unseen as I was concerned they would be "plastic-y" and it would be noisy and unpleasant to sleep on them. In contrast, they are made of a very soft and flexible fabric and not noisy at all. The surface is velveteen-like, the zipper stitching is small and uniform and overall they seem to be a high quality product. The size is more than adequate to cover a large bed pillow. I did not give this product 5 stars as 1) I can't really tell if they have reduced my allergies (mild) 2) I have not tested whether they are indeed waterproof and 3) I haven't washed them enough to know how they hold up after several washes. Assuming they indeed prevent dust mites and bacteria from breeding and are waterproof and long-lasting, I recommend this product.

Not waterproof as claimed
I purchased three of these covers for protecting my four year old son's pillows, in case of night time bed wetting accidents. I own the twin mattress version of this product but have not ever tested it by purposely wetting it to see if it truly is waterproof. Last night my son had a bed accident and when he woke up I could see that the pillowcase was wet. Surprisingly when I took the pillow protector off to launder it (for the first time - I've only had it for two weeks) the pillow itself was wet too. Perhaps this is a waterproof product when the wetness is left on for a short period of time, but it definitely isn't when the wetness is there for several hours. I'm pretty disappointed about this and will be contacting the manufacturer to see what they can do about their claims. I'll be updating here when I get more information.

keeps my neck drier every night, but use in moderation
Due to the fact that I sweat a lot in my neck at night without a waterproof pillow covering, I bought this covering for all of my pillows. It's OK. It keeps my neck and head completely dry every night.

I also use these on my childrens' pillows, since this product prevents any extra urine from filling up into the pillow itself, therefore making the real pillow-fibers themselves more "stuck-together". But please take note: this pillow protector can't be used with really tiny children, since it has a zipper to close it up, down the one side of the protector itself.
