Avocado Organic Waterproof Queen Pillow Protector

Product Overview

Natural, Reliable Protection

Designed to fit our Green Pillow or Molded Latex Pillow, our 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 polyurethane layer is incredibly thin, there’s no uncomfortable plastic crinkle.

No Worries

Our pillow protector features an ultra-thin polyurethane waterproof barrier that accounts for only 5% of its materials — within the GOTS standards for an essential material accessory. 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

As a Climate Neutral Certified company since 2019, we've measured Avocado's annual cradle-to-consumer emissions, offset them by investing in climate change solutions, and started taking real action to reduce our emissions. Through our partnerships with Ceres and the American Sustainable Business Network, we also advocate for state and federal policies that support solutions to the climate crisis.

Materials

Our Organic Waterproof Pillow Protector is handmade with 95% GOTS organic certified cotton and an ultra-thin, breathable 5% polyurethane waterproofing layer. No fire retardants, antimicrobial treatments, vinyl, PVC, phthalates, phosphorus, antimony, or arsenic are used.

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.

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.
