Types of Pillow Protectors
Pillow protectors are available in different fabrics and finishes to suit varied needs. Below are the key options in our collection:
Quilted Pillow Protectors
Quilted pillow protectors feature soft padding stitched into layers. They add comfort while shielding pillows from dirt and oils. The quilting helps maintain shape and prevents bunching during washing.
Waterproof Pillow Protectors
Waterproof protectors stop liquids from penetrating the pillow. They are perfect for households with children, rental properties, or healthcare facilities. Despite being waterproof, they remain breathable and comfortable.
Terry Towelling Pillow Protectors
Made with absorbent terry fabric, these protectors are soft yet practical. They are especially useful in summer, as the towelling helps wick away moisture while keeping the pillow fresh.
Corovin Pillow Protectors
Corovin is a non-woven polypropylene fabric. It is lightweight, breathable, and resistant to wear. Corovin protectors are cost-effective and often used in hospitality and large institutions.
Flame Retardant Pillow Protectors
These protectors are treated to meet BS-7175 fire safety standards. They are widely used in hotels, nursing homes, and student accommodations, where safety compliance is mandatory.
Types of Duvet Protectors
Just like pillows, duvets also need protection. Our range of duvet protectors combines practicality with safety.
Quilted Duvet Protectors
Quilted designs add an extra layer of padding, making duvets more comfortable while offering strong protection. They are easy to wash and maintain.
Waterproof Duvet Protectors
Made with coated fabrics, these duvet protectors prevent spillages from reaching the filling. They are useful in households with kids and in institutional bedding.
Flame Retardant Duvet Protectors
Specifically treated to meet UK Fire Safety (BS-7175) standards, these protectors are essential in regulated environments such as hospitals, care homes, and rental properties.
Polypropylene Duvet Protectors
Polypropylene fabric is durable, lightweight, and resistant to daily wear. It has a high melting point, which helps protect against heat-related damage
Materials Used in Our Protectors
The performance of duvet and pillow protectors depends on their materials. At The Towel Shop, we stock protectors in different fabrics to suit various needs:

GSM & Thread Count Explained
Protectors vary in GSM (grams per square metre) and thread count, both of which impact quality and feel.
- Lightweight Protectors (60-100 GSM) – Easy to maintain, ideal for frequent washing.
- Medium GSM (120-180 GSM) – A balance of softness and durability, suited for households.
- High GSM Quilted Protectors (200+ GSM) – Thicker, more padded designs for premium comfort.
- Thread Count (120TC – 200TC) – Used in cotton-blend protectors for a smoother, long-lasting finish.
Choosing the right GSM and fabric ensures that bedding meets both comfort and practical needs.
