Will using pillow covers help to protect your pillows from damage?

Answer by  Camelia (662)

Yes, it will protect them from getting dirty and the pillow covers will absorb your perspiration during the night, not the pillow.

Yes, putting covers on your pillows, followed by regular pillowcases, will keep your pillows cleaner and less likely to be damaged from stains.

Pillow covers are very important. Perspiration will soak through a pillowcase into the pillow but if you use a cover over the pillow before the pillowcase, it protects the pillow. Then just wash it as you would your pillowcase. The pillows last much longer. If they are feather or down pillows, to clean hang them out in the fresh air

Pillow covers will keep your pillows clean, but they can't protect your pillows from physical damage, like tears, stains, etc. But you should use them for health reasons.

Yes and no - a pillow cover will not protect it from becoming naturally less plump over time, however it may protect from mites, bugs, dirt, dead skin etc.
