You may wonder about the reason behind the need for cushion covers. Do not worry; we gathered the benefits of using a cushion cover as a list to enlighten you on the subject. We believe you will realize why you need more covers than the pillows you have after checking it out.


Cushion Covers Keep Your Pillow Clean

Throwing cushions on a cozy couch can give you the effect instantly. You can go with as many pillows as you would like when decorating. The size of the cushion and the width of your sitting area will determine how many cushions you need. The same thing goes with your bed as well. The size of the bed and your comfort needs are the deciding criteria. What if we tell you no matter how many pillows or cushions you have, you will need almost as twice as covers? Let us explain.

The most knows benefit of cushion covers is to keep the pillows clean. Everyday practices may cause simple accidents like spilling a liquid, splashing something, or if you have a curious kid that loves playing on the furniture, these covers will be there to protect. Pillow covers usually come with a zipper or button closure so that you can clean them up by washing them simply. 

For instance, your house will probably become a mess after a birthday party full of kids. And just to spice things up, let’s say you will have another important dinner at home. Having a pillowcase on use and another one as a backup will save your day. Especially if you have guests that will stay overnight, this trick will ease your life. While we mention sleeping, you can also consider hotel stays. Sleeping in another place other than your own bed can be disturbing sometimes. If you are planning a vacation and do not feel clean enough in any area, you can bring your pillowcases. 

 

Creates Allergen-Free Pillow

Unfortunately, cushions and pillows are notorious places to capture and hold allergens. Especially during springtime, allergies can be hard to deal with, or if you have any pets that like to sleep with you, those may trigger your allergy when you are exposed to them a lot. Therefore pillowcases are a practical way to prevent you from sleeping with allergens. Especially if they have easy closure, such as a zipper, you can pull them out and wash them in your washing machine. 

Let’s imagine you are living somewhere that gets hot from spring to summer. And you end up opening the windows every night to let some air in. Even though this may sound like a breezy summer night dream, if you have allergies, they might get terrible. With the spores and pollens filling in your room and sticking to your pillow, your allergies will get triggered stronger than ever. And since washing a pillow is not the fastest solution, using cushion covers will be there for you. In Nur Pillow, you can find any sort of material luxury cushion cases. Get the right sized one for your pillows and get a relaxing sleep every single time. To see our trendy pillowcases and cushions, you may check our website, nurpillowdesign.com.

 

Makes Your Pillow Fluffier

Big sofas and fluffy cushions. They remind people of comfort right away. Having chats and drinking coffee with your friends, reading a page-turner science fiction book with a warm blanket on your knees, or a movie marathon you can enjoy with your family. You can imagine all of these scenarios by hugging to a fluffy cushion on your relacing living area environment. 

As we mentioned, furniture must be one of your prior investments when it comes to decorations. However, if you do not have the fluffiest cushion, you do not have to buy new ones. One benefit of cushion covers is that they can turn sturdy-looking furniture into a cozy one. You just have to find the correct material.

Cotton material has one of the softest feelings in furniture fabrics. And they are great for printing so that you can find a matching aesthetic easily. Another fluffy option would be faux fur. These are great for giving the cushion a luxury look. Also, animals love to sleep on faux fur, so that you can go with one for your cat's bedding. Of course, you can choose a natural wool fabric that feels like sleeping on a cloud. However, if you are looking for plushie toy fluffiness, Minky fabric is your go-to. They come in a variety of colors to match your furniture.

Even though fluffy cushions seem like a cute and relacing option, you should be careful when washing them. Although it is known that using cold water and softener can be helpful in this sort of material,  every fabric has a different standard of washing to avoid losing the softness. You may look up the right ways of washing when you purchase them. Also, you may consider giving the washed and dried fabric a combing session to bring out the fluff again.

 

Satin and Silk Covers are Good for Self Care

This one goes out for our skin and hair care lovers. Yes, morning and night routines can hype you up for moving on in life, but what about when you go to sleep? Let’s face it, none of us sleep like Snow White in her glass casket. Our hair tangles, we have the wrinkles of the pillow printed on our face when we wake up, etc. So if you love taking care of your skin, hair, and overall well-being, you may also consider trying silk & satin fabrics. 

Hairdressers and dermatologists recommend using silk or satin pillows when you sleep. Their natural glowy and smooth surface prevents you from getting wrinkles during sleep time and can actually moisturize your skin. They do not absorb the natural oil from your face and hair like other cotton-based materials. Also, they allow circulation of air and therefore let your hair breathe. They prevent moisture from night sweats, tangled ends, and weak hair roots. Also, as a tip, you can use silk or satin bonnets to set another layer of protection.

One question you can have in your mind might be, what is the difference between satin and silk. Of course, there is a lot of in-depth research on this matter, but to briefly talk about it, silk is made out of natural protein fibers produced by silkworms. Hence they are being considered more luxurious and more expensive in the market. On the other hand, satin is often blended with other fabrics. It is more affordable when comes to being compared to silk. They both are breathable fabrics, less absorbent, and hypoallergenic. Also, the benefits we just mentioned are still valid for both fabrics. So do not worry when shopping for some dreamy experience of sleep. As a side note, please be aware that silk or satin cushion covers do have their own washing standard. So to use them for a long-time washing them regularly and in the correct way will do it.

 

Visual Appeal of Cushion Covers

Until now, we talked about cushion covers' health-related and practical benefits. But how can we forget about the aesthetic and decoration-wise part?

On our online store, Nur Pillow's website nurpillowdesign.com you can find various options for visually appealing cushion cover designs. When decorating your living space, first analyzing your decoration style can help you decide on details. For example, if you are a modernist, you can decide on stripes or geometric shapes as prints on cushion covers. Or, if you are a more bohemian or rustic design lover, you can go with floral or ethnic patterns. And of course, for the minimalist, you can find solid colored earth tones, grays, and pastel ranged colors in our store. 

We say you can go brave and select your favorite colors for 2 of the cushions, go with a patterned selection for the other 2, and an ikon printed one for the last one for your living room. As in your bedroom, you can select colors that go with most of your bed cases, so you won’t waste time picking one. And for your kids' room, you can go with floral patterns, animals, sea themed cushion covers. In simple terms, just remember to have fun when decorating!
