Pillowcases

We all know what a pillowcase is, but do we know why we use it? We are probably thinking of it as part of the bedding that helps decorate your room and improve the look of your bed. Well, that may be one of its functions, but it is certainly the most irrelevant.

As we well know, we spend a large part of our lives in bed, specifically we could say that a third of our lives. So, as you will understand, it is inevitable that dirt accumulates no matter how clean we go to sleep. Luckily, there is an ideal complement that prevents our pillow from falling victim to all that dirt: the pillowcase. This will be in charge of protecting you from the bacteria that accumulate and will extend the useful life of your pillow.

Pillow covers are made with a wide variety of materials that give them different properties. We can find covers made of cotton, linen, flannel, polyester, silk and other materials that will help us find the ideal cover to meet our needs.

Best pillowcases

As we have already said, there is a great variety of materials with which pillowcases are made, since their different properties will determine which is the best in each case.

At Jack Beds we love the word “variety”, which is why we always come up with more than one option that can meet your needs.

It is a waterproof and breathable cover made with high-quality fabric that incorporates the Acarsan Natural® anti-mite treatment made with plant extracts.

All our covers fit perfectly to fully protect the pillow, preventing unwanted movement and facilitating its placement and removal.

How to choose the best pillowcase

To choose the pillowcase that best suits your needs, you must first take into account the size. It seems obvious, but the truth is that many times we buy covers that do not fit the size of our pillow. If we find that the covers are smaller, we probably can not even get them to wrap the pillow and, if we do, the chances of it ending up ripping are high. If, on the other hand, the covers are larger, we will see that they look especially bad on an aesthetic level and that they are very uncomfortable when sleeping, since folds are made in the fabric that will not let us enjoy our rest.

A cover that protects us from mites is essential for our health; It is ideal that they have a good waterproofing system and that they are breathable. For people who suffer from any type of allergy, they should make sure that their covers are hypoallergenic.

It is important to take into account the comfort that the cover will provide us, thick fabrics tend to generate a sensation of softness that can favor comfort in our rest.

You have to take into account the material with which they are made to ensure, on the one hand, good protection and, on the other, a greater feeling of comfort. There are materials such as cotton and polyester that help to have a quality cover and, as you may have noticed, cotton is one of the main materials that you find in our covers.

How often is it convenient to wash them?

Pillowcases are a very important factor in protecting and maintaining our hygiene in the bedroom, so it is essential to take care of them properly.

They are in permanent contact with our hair and our skin, so that remains of dead skin, hair residues such as hair gel and body fluids such as sweat and saliva adhere to them. A very nice image, we know. That is why we recommend you wash the pillowcases at least once a week.

If we do not maintain good hygiene, the set of factors already mentioned can cause health problems such as acne, allergies, or a significant drop in our defenses.
