A set of two standard-size SureGuard Pillow Protectors is a sound investment. They are a wonderful addition to your bedding ensemble. They help you protect the investment you have made in your pillow from water, allergens, and pests. They are made with the finest materials and strenuously, independently lab tested to ensure quality and effectiveness. Each protector is free of any toxic chemicals, such as vinyl, PVC, phthalates and fire retardants. They are also GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions, which is something you can feel good about. They easily zip onto your pillow to guard against bedbugs, allergens, liquid, and more. You will sleep more comfortably at night knowing that you are protected. The super fine zipper technology completely seals off the pillow to guard against bedbugs. For those with allergies, these covers provide great health benefits. The protectors will block out dust mites, pollen, pet dander, mildew, mold, as well as other allergens. This is sure to provide you will a restful night. Each standard size SureGuard Pillow Protector is 100% waterproof. This feature will help keep moisture from staining or otherwise damaging your pillows. They are made from a 100% cotton terry material that is breathable, comfortable, and machine washable. The waterproof backing has a mean pore size of 1 micron. The lightweight 100% cotton terry surface wicks away moisture. The backing blocks liquids but allows air and heat to flow through to the pillow while you sleep. This keeps the pillow (and you) cool and dry as you sleep. The cotton surface and the waterproof backing provide the ideal restful environment in your bed. These SureGuard protectors are made in China. They measure 21x27 inches and will fit all standard 20x26 inch pillows. It is recommended that you use a pillowcase over your protector. You will prolong its effectiveness and reduce the frequency of washing by always using a pillowcase. Another benefit of these protectors is that they also provide protection against feathers poking or falling out of down pillows. Caring for your SureGuard Pillow Protector is simple. You can wash them as often as desired, just as you do your other bedding. When they need cleaning, simply toss the protector in the washer with cool water (35C / 95F). You can use any mild detergent that does not contain bleach. The protector should be unzipped. Ensure that the backing is facing inward to protect and lengthen the life. Tumble dry on low heat. You can air dry them if you prefer. Fabric softener is not recommended. The zippered design makes it simple to take the protector on and off. The ease of removal makes caring for them and making your bed a breeze. SureGuard Pillow Protectors are the perfect solution if you or someone you love suffers from allergies or chemical sensitivities. They also will help you achieve a more comfortable rest, and protect your pillow from sweat.
