Memory Foam Pillows

Absolutely yes. If you do not want your memory foam pillows to deteriorate quickly with use, we recommend that you protect them with a pillowcase. These protectors act as a barrier, blocking the penetration of sweat or saliva into the core, preventing premature oxidation of the interior materials, thus limiting the accumulation of odors and facilitating the sanitization of the rest area.

In this way, you can easily wash the cover and extend the useful life of your pillows, while at the same time enjoying a microclimate for much more hygienic and healthy rest. In our Accessories section you will see a wide selection of covers with which you can protect your memory foam pillows and keep them in perfect condition for much longer.

Most memory foam pillows offer a 3-year warranty. That does not mean that after that time they have to change quickly. You may have to do it even sooner. According to the American Sleep Association (National Sleep Foundation), it is recommended to change your pillow every 1 or 2 years.

In addition, if not properly cared for, substances such as sweat or saliva can come into contact with the cores, accelerating the oxidation process of the materials that make them up. This not only seriously damages their hygiene, but also causes them to deteriorate much more quickly.
