I've not needed to wash them yet, I'm afraid. I only put one on the bed with spares in the wardrobe which rarely get used. They are very full and have not gone flat, like cheap ones do. They have a nice quality piped cover too. I usually buy them when they are on special offer in Dunelm. Must admit I've never tried sleeping on one myself, so now I'm intrigued at the mixed reviews. Will have a look now, in case they are not as comfortable as I believe they are. Never had any complaints though.kyreniagirl wrote:Bunny. Have you washed them?

P.S. Another vote for M&S pillow protectors.
Pillow Protectors. My stupid question
Agree with Isy - the M&S pillow quilted pillow protectors are extremely good. Nothing ever gets through to the pillow.
However they are tricky to get the covers over them...I have to push and shove so I use the White Co. pillow protectors on the more dense pillows. Think you get 2 in a pack.
I like these because they are zipped...and so don't come flying off with the pillowcase.
Also they have a nice neat look, as if it is just the pillow casing...just in case any guests take a nosy.
I would say they're also good on the protection level too.

Ditto that.tavi wrote:I use thick, quilted (cotton where I can get it) pillow protectors underneath my cotton pillow-case. The quilted ones absorb excess sweat, dribble, whatever and are washed between alternate guests.
Otherwise I'd be swapping for new pillows several times every summer - cannot abide those yellowing sweat marks you get on the pillows and no matter how much they say the pillow is washable - it isn't but the protectors are, so my pillows stay pristine - no musty smell, no marks.
I use disposable pillow protectors. I bought them in bulk when I was equipping the finca. They work very well and don't add unnecessary bulk: http://www.mitrelinen.com/products/bedr ... protector/ My pillows are quite full (IKEA Guldpalm firm) and I think I would struggle to get the pillow plus a quilted protector into a pillowcase.
I bought some wonderful pillow protectors from Soak & Sleep that are totally waterproof on the inside but have a velvety soft outside, so are really comfortable. This prevents anything from getting on the pillows. There's always the risk of a spilt cup of tea or coffee when in bed and these would cover all eventualities.
