How waterproof is this pillow protector? is it as waterproof as for example a vinyl pillow protector. Is this machine washable?

It is very machine washable. We use the pillow protectors and mattress covers. The mattress cover is very waterproof. Completely protected the mattress from a potty training accident.

I have never intentionally spilled anything on it. But it appears to be waterproof. Yes it is machine washable

I have never washed the pillow itself but have washed the cover...haven't had the need to wash pillow since I have purchased a special cove to protect...I love these pillows!!!

The cover is not waterproof. The pillow could be washed if you have a big enough washer.

I would think the pillow is somewhat like a waterbed... you probably don't have to change the water, but if you want to, do it as often as you feel is necessary. I've only had mine a few months and haven't changed the water and have no problem with anything so far. I didn't read anything about changing water on the packaging information.

I would echo the other response. The actual mat is waterproof. While the manufacturer would likely not approve I removed the blue fuzzy cover as the hair was impossible to clean off and substituted pillow cases which washed easier.

I can't sleep without microbead pillows and I ALWAYS wash them in the washer and dry them in the dryer. Dry them a little longer though. It probably does cut the "life" of the pillow because once it gets a hole, it needs to be tossed. But I ALWAYS wash my microbead pillows and only have had one get a hole in it. :)

According to Marrikas the tag says "dry clean." However, they also said that both the cover and the fill can withstand water. My interpretation from their response is that you're on your own, but machine washing will probably be OK. I have personally machine-washed down comforters in the past. Assuming there is nothing unique about this one, it should be OK. (Cold water, gentle cycle, low heat dryer.)

Hey! I use Luna Premium Hypoallergenic 100% Waterproof Mattress Protector - 10 Year Warranty - Made In The USA - and love it. Wash it when you first open it (like most things wrapped in plastic - yuck!) and then it's great. About once a month to six weeks I take it off and wash it, too. No bleach, medium-low on the dryer.

I would not machine wash it as the pillow material is pretty delicate. My dog put a small hole in it just carrying the pillow around.

As far as I know this is not waterproof. Machine washable. You would have to get a mattress pad that had a waterproof lining

To my knowledge all five sides are waterproof unless by accident I overlooked that when I went to their web site and read up on it. I believe this is the best mattress protector I could have found and after having had it for some time now and having washed it several times I'm still very happy with it. When I get ready to replace my other mattress protectors on my other beds I will definitely purchase these again along with the pillow protectors. They are very comfortable to sleep on. No noise -- you don't even know they are there -- as it should be :)

I do not believe the cover is waterproof. However the pillow is made well and has not leaked any water.

I have a pair of these pillow protectors, and my experience tells me that they are not waterproof. But that issue is immaterial. You should purchase a different brand because the tiny-toothed plastic zipper on this product is very cheap, breaks easily, and cannot be fixed without replacing the zipper entirely.

I am not sure what you want to know, but I can tell you that I take the cushion, which is vinyl or rubber depending on which one you get, and I use it in the bathtub since it is waterproof. I have never tried washing the cover, other than wiping off the odd bit of chocolate that falls off my dip cone when I'm driving. My cushion and I are inseparable.

I know for sure the cover, I was told you could wash pillow but have never tried and not sure if I would.

I've never tried washing it, myself. I just put the "My Brest Friend Professional Slipcover" (vinyl) on the pillow, then the fabric slipcover over that. When there were leaks/spills, I could just wipe clean the vinyl slipcover (when necessary, it's also machine washable), and washed the fabric slipcover. I thought the extra expense was so worth it to keep the foam clean!

I would say no, you should not machine wash. The best comparison I can make to this product is a vinyl car seat. The outside is made of vinyl, similar to a relatively soft car seat in texture. It is easily washable by hand, wipe with regular bath cleaners/bleach. It's a very comfy pillow that isn't too soft, attaches to the bathtub with several suction cups all around. It has upper and lower divided sections that bend slightly at the division, making it conform to the slope of your tub back and your body, and that is easy to lean on/lay back on. I'm glad I got it!
