NATURAL, RELIABLE PROTECTION

Designed to fit our Green Pillow or Molded Latex Pillowour Organic Waterproof Pillow Protector is made with GOTS-certified organic cotton and provides the ultimate protection for your pillow. Manufactured in our factory, it prevents spills and liquids (such as drool) from seeping into your pillow, helps reduce makeup and oily stains, prevents allergies, and keeps dust mites at bay. The hidden side zipper makes it easy to remove and wash. And because the waterproof layer is incredibly thin, there’s no uncomfortable plastic crinkle.

GOTS organic certified Climate Neutral

 

NO WORRIES

Our pillow protector features an ultra-thin polyurethane waterproof barrier derived from cornstarch, which accounts for only 5% of its materials—within the GOTS standard. The rest is made of GOTS organic certified cotton. That means a healthier sleep for you and the added assurance that your pillow is protected from inevitable spills and stains, as well as bacteria and dust mites.

 

EASY-TO-CLEAN

When it’s time to wash your pillow protector, doing so is simple. Remove it using the hidden side zipper and machine-wash it in cold water on the gentle cycle. Do not put it in the dryer. Hang the pillow protector and let it air dry. And if it looks a little wrinkly after the wash, that’s normal — the protector will smooth out once it’s back on your pillow.

ORGANIC IS BETTER

Our pillow protector is made with GOTS-certified organic cotton that’s sustainably grown without pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. No chemical adhesives or artificial dyes are used. Organic cotton is a superior, high-quality material that’s durable, breathable and wicks away moisture better than anything synthetic.

CLIMATE NEUTRAL CERTIFIED

  • ORGANIC COTTON AND WATERPROOF LAYER DERIVED FROM CORNSTARCH

    Our Organic Waterproof Pillow Protector is made with two layers of GOTS-certified organic cotton. Sandwiched between these layers is an ultra-thin, breathable waterproofing layer made from polyurethane derived from Susterra® propanediol. This propanediol is sourced from natural corn starch and is a USDA-certified bio-based product. Unlike traditional petrochemical alternatives such as 1,4-butanediol (BDO), Susterra® propanediol is renewably sourced and generates up to 48% fewer greenhouse gas emissions from cradle-to-gate (raw material to factory gate). This means it is plant-based and petrochemical-free, utilizing sustainable and renewable resources

  • Performance Expectations

    Our waterproof pillow protector relies on two layers of organic cotton to absorb liquids and a thin, GOTS-approved polyurethane membrane in the middle, which functions as the waterproof barrier. Even so, all polyurethane-based membranes tend to get weaker over time, and their performance will drop sooner or later. This can result from UV radiation, aging, flexing, high or low temperatures, punctures, and numerous washing cycles. Our waterproof protector represents the best possible performance as a GOTS-certified organic product. But we do not warrant it to be foolproof. No protector can claim that. It is, however, great for life's little accidents, as the hundreds of customer reviews attest. (Pro tip: some parents use two protectors at once, so they can remove the outer protector in case of an accident for cleaning.) If you need a thick plastic protector with a zipper enclosure, we don’t sell those due to the risk of chemical off-gassing and our preference for organic and sustainable products.

  • Certifications

    We use GOTS-certified organic cotton in a soft, natural color for a luxurious and premium finish. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.  GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions and Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verification by UL Environment. That means the mattress protector is scientifically proven to meet some of the world's most rigorous third-party emissions standards for chemical exposure and pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, and phthalates. Meets MADE SAFE® standards.

  • Asthma and Allergy-Friendly Materials

    With certified organic cotton inside and out, our protector is well-suited for anyone with asthma or allergies. However, it does not create a “fully-encased seal” around your mattress, so it is not intended to function as an allergy barrier.

  • Care

    Please wash your Organic Waterproof Pillow Protector before use with an eco-conscious laundry detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang on the line until completely dry. It may take up to three washes to get the protectors to the proper size. We made them intentionally big since they are 100% cotton and will shrink.
