A Guide to Pillow Protection: Caring for Your Bedding

When investing in luxury bedding, pillows are undoubtedly at the heart of a beautifully made bed. But even the finest fills and most luxurious pillows needs one essential layer of defence: the pillow protector.


At top hotels, pillow protectors aren’t just an afterthought, they’re a necessity. Pillow protectors are an industry-essential for maintaining freshness, hygiene, longevity, and long-term comfort. At Tielle, we know exactly what goes into a high-performing pillow protector.

A high-quality pillow protector acts as a shield, protecting your pillow from:

  • Sweat and moisture.
  • Makeup and skincare products.
  • Spills or accidents.
  • Dust mites and allergens.

Key Features of Luxury Pillow Protectors

 

So, what makes a pillow protector truly worthy of being used in a luxury hotel? Here’s what we look for in our hotel-grade bedding protection:

  • Breathable fabrics: 100% cotton ensures air can circulate while moisture is blocked.
  • Tightly woven casing: This keeps allergens and dust mites at bay without compromising softness.
  • Zipped closure or envelope style: Prevents pillow shifting and offers full coverage.

We’ve designed our Tielle pillow protectors to meet the exacting standards of our hotel clients.

How Professionals Select Pillow Protection

 

Hotels don’t just choose protectors off the shelf. They consider:

  • Durability: Can it withstand frequent washes at high temperatures?
  • Performance: Does it protect against both moisture and allergens?
  • Fit: Does it cover the pillow snugly without gaping or pinching?

For home use, these same considerations apply. Whether you have natural fill or microfibre, investing in a commercial-grade protector will help you safeguard your pillows, giving you better value.

Maintenance Guidelines: Easy, Effective, Essential


Unlike pillows, protectors are specifically designed to be washed regularly. Here's how to care for them:

  • Wash every 4–6 weeks, or more frequently if used nightly without a pillowcase.
  • Use mild detergent. Our pillow protectors can be washed up to 60°C.
  • Tumble dry on low or line dry fully before reuse.

Pairing pillow protectors with mattress protectors gives you a complete layer of protection that extends the life of your entire bed setup.

 

Why Pillow Protection Is a Smart Investment


It may seem like a small detail, but using pillow protectors is one of the smartest decisions you can make to preserve the integrity of your bedding. They reduce the need for frequent washing of delicate pillow fillings, protect against allergens, and prevent any stains from reaching your pillow.
In fact, most hotels wouldn’t dream of dressing a bed without them, and neither should you.
