Pillows and bolsters absorb sweat, skin oils and dust mites every night, and in Malaysia's humid climate this buildup happens faster than in temperate countries. A fitted protector worn underneath the pillowcase intercepts this buildup at the source, keeping the pillow's actual fill cleaner and extending its usable life well beyond what regular pillowcase washing alone can achieve.Because the protector — not the pillow — takes the brunt of daily wear, it's a far cheaper and easier item to wash frequently or replace than the pillow itself.
