Yes, many of our mattress and pillow protectors are waterproof, offering superior protection against spills, accidents, and moisture. The waterproof layer helps to safeguard your mattress and pillows from damage while maintaining breathability for a comfortable sleep
experience.

Mattress and pillow protectors act as a barrier against spills, stains, dust mites, and allergens, helping to prolong the life of your mattress and pillows. They also provide an additional layer of protection for a cleaner and healthier sleep environment.

We recommend replacing your pillows every 1-2 years, or sooner if they show signs of wear and tear such as lumps, flattening, or an unpleasant odour. Over time, pillows can accumulate dust mites, allergens, and bacteria, impacting their support and hygiene. Regularly replacing your pillows ensures optimal comfort and sleep quality.

The right pillow firmness depends on your sleeping position. For example, side sleepers may prefer a firmer pillow to support the neck and align the spine, while back sleepers may find medium-firm pillows more comfortable. Stomach sleepers typically require a softer pillow to prevent neck strain. Consider your preferred sleeping position and personal comfort preferences when selecting pillow firmness.
