PROTECT YOUR ORGANIC PILLOW

Our Organic Cotton Pillow Protector pairs perfectly with our customizable Green Pillow. Made with GOTS-certified organic cotton, it protects your pillow from everyday wear and stains while adding a cozy support layer for healthier, restful sleep. It’s crafted in our factory and features a 400 thread-count cotton single-ply weave, meaning it’s naturally breathable and buttery soft to the touch. And the hidden side-zipper design makes it easy to remove and wash.

GOTS organic certified Climate Neutral

 

PROLONG YOUR
PILLOW'S LIFE

Stains happen. But our Organic Cotton Pillow Protector ensures makeup, spills, and other messes don’t reach your pillow — extending its lifespan. And cleaning the protector is simple. Remove it using the hidden side-zipper, then machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry. Make sure the protector is completely dry before putting it back on your pillow.

 

HEALTHIER SLEEP

We stitch our Organic Cotton Pillow Protector with GOTS-certified organic cotton. This makes it ideal for sleepers with allergies, asthma, or breathing issues. The hidden zipper also allows it to be easily removed and washed, so you can clean it regularly to avoid the buildup of skin cells, hair, and sweat for better, peaceful sleep.

MADE SAFE

Our pillow protector is certified to MADE SAFE® standards. This process screens for toxins that may harm human health, animals, aquatic life, or ecosystems. 

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. That's why, through our partnerships with Ceres and the American Sustainable Business Network, we also advocate for state and federal policies that support equitable solutions to the climate crisis.

PROJECT ZERO WASTE

We're proud to be certified by UL Solutions for a landfill diversion rate of 85%. That means only 15% of our manufacturing waste ends up in the landfill — we upcycle or recycle the rest. Since we began Project Zero Waste in 2020, we've been a pioneer in the space, increasing our waste diversion rate by 33%. We are the first mattress and bedding company to achieve this. We're we aren't done yet. Our goal is at least a 90% diversion rate. Read more about Project Zero Waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. This is a breathable, all-cotton protector — it guards your pillow from everyday stains, oils, dust, and wear, but it does not have a waterproof barrier. If you need protection from spills, drool, or sweat, choose our Organic Waterproof Pillow Protector, which adds an ultra-thin waterproof membrane. Many people use this cotton protector for everyday freshness and reach for the waterproof version in kids' rooms or guest beds.
All three zip around your pillow, but they do different jobs. The Organic Cotton Pillow Protector is a smooth, breathable 400 thread-count cotton layer for everyday freshness. The Waterproof Pillow Protector adds a cornstarch-derived waterproof membrane to block liquids. The Quilted Pillow Protector adds a padded, cushioned feel. Our Help Center guide compares all three side by side.
100% organic cotton — a 400 thread-count single-ply weave with a smooth feel, silky finish, and slight sheen. It is GOTS-certified organic and MADE SAFE® certified, with no membrane, no chemical finishes, and no synthetic fill. Just certified organic cotton fabric with a hidden side zipper.
A soft, natural cotton color — a warm, creamy tone rather than a bright bleached white. Because the cotton is left largely undyed, the protector keeps a natural finish and avoids unnecessary dyes and bleaching chemicals, in keeping with its GOTS certification. Since it sits hidden underneath your pillowcase, the color is not visible while you sleep.
Two shapes. The Standard rectangular shape comes in Standard (20″ × 26″), Queen (20″ × 30″), and King (20″ × 36″). The Side-Sleeper shape has a curved contour and comes in Standard (19″ × 26″), Queen (19″ × 30″), and King (19″ × 35″). Choose the size and shape that match your pillow. A pillow is not included.
It is designed to pair with our Green Pillow and also fits our Molded Latex Pillow, along with most standard, queen, and king pillows. Match the size to your pillow, and choose the Side-Sleeper shape if your pillow has a curved side-sleeper profile.
Only slightly, and for the better. The 400 thread-count cotton adds a smooth, silky layer over your pillow without adding bulk or firmness, so it keeps the feel of your pillow intact. If you want to add a soft, cushioned layer instead, the Quilted Pillow Protector is designed for that.
Machine-wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle, using an eco-friendly detergent. Line dry or tumble dry low and remove promptly. Do not bleach, iron, or use fabric softeners or whiteners. Make sure it is completely dry before putting it back on your pillow. Washing it regularly helps keep skin cells, oils, and dust from building up on your pillow.
It is GOTS-certified organic — the Global Organic Textile Standard, backed by independent third-party audits — and MADE SAFE® certified, which screens for substances that can harm human health or the environment. The organic cotton also holds OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I, the most restrictive class, designed for products used by babies and toddlers. It is GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions and UL® Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verified, and it is made by a Climate Neutral Certified company.
It is made with certified organic cotton and no chemical treatments or added dyes, which makes it a good fit for people who prefer natural materials against their skin, and it is machine washable so you can clean it regularly to reduce the buildup of dust, skin cells, and oils on your pillow. It is not a sealed, fully-encased barrier, though — it slips over the pillow rather than encasing it — so it is not intended to function as a medical allergen barrier.
