Buying pillow protection for a property? Every line below ships in commercial case packs with published item numbers. The choice that matters is not the fabric, it is whether your housekeeping team launders pillow protectors between guests or wipes them clean. That decision changes your labor cost far more than the unit price does.
A hotel with 100 rooms and two pillows per bed is buying 200 protectors, then re-buying them as they wear out and replacing pillows when a protector fails. Pillow protection is a small line item that quietly controls a large one, since a $4 protector is what keeps a $30 pillow out of the trash.
Below is the commercial range, the case pack for each line, and the ordering mechanics. If you would rather skip to a quote, request bulk pricing or call (516) 255-1736.
Start here: laundered or wipe-clean
Fabric protectors go through the laundry with the linens. That is familiar, and it adds a load to a laundry operation that is usually already at capacity. Vinyl protectors are wiped down with the disinfectant your housekeeping team already carries and go straight back on the bed.
High-turnover hotels, healthcare and behavioral health tend to specify vinyl for that reason. Extended stay, assisted living and residential programs, where a guest sleeps on the same pillow for weeks, tend to specify the knit because it feels better under a pillowcase. Most properties end up running both, vinyl in the rooms that turn daily and knit in the long-stay wing.
The commercial range
Heavyweight 6-gauge vinyl with electronically sealed seams rather than stitching, so there are no thread gaps at the seam. Self-locking rust-resistant zipper set back about 2 inches from the end seam, which keeps the hardware away from where a guest's face rests. Independently lab tested bite proof. Flame retardant.
Standard 21x27 (item 1006) · Queen 21x31 (item 1007) · King 21x37 (item 1009). One case covers 12 beds. From $8.99 per pair.
View the 6-gauge vinyl protectorSatin-soft polyester stretch knit laminated to a breathable waterproof urethane membrane, so it does not crinkle under a pillowcase. Meets ASTM F1670-08 for synthetic blood and fluid penetration, and carries CFR 1610 flame retardancy and bed bug bite proof test reports. Same fabric and same testing as the BedBug Solution® Elite mattress encasement. Lifetime Limited Warranty.
Standard 21x27 · Queen 21x31 · King 21x37 · Euro 26x26. Do not use chlorine bleach. From $11.99 each.
View the CleanAir® protectorThe lighter-weight vinyl option, electronically sealed seams, rust-proof zipper, flame retardant. Standard 21x27 only. Use it where budget leads and the 6-gauge is more protector than the room needs. $7.99 per pair. Ask for case pack quantities on a quote.
View the 3-gauge protectorT-180 cotton and polyester blend with a hidden rust-proof zipper and overlock stitching, so nothing shows through a pillowcase and nothing frays in a commercial wash. This is a linen-program cover, not a barrier: it keeps pillows clean and launders with the rest of the bed, and it is not waterproof. From $12.99 per 2-pack.
View the hidden zipper protectorAn envelope closure instead of a zipper, in the same T-180 blend. No hardware to snag in a commercial laundry and nothing for a guest to feel. Reinforced overlock stitching for repeated institutional washing. Our deepest stock position in pillow protection. $9.99 each.
View the French fold protectorFor allergy and asthma programs where a plastic membrane is the wrong answer. 280-thread-count cotton with no coating or laminate, blocking allergens through the weave itself. Independent capillary-flow analysis by Porous Measurement Int'l Group measured a mean flow pore of 4.62 microns. Breathes, launders hot, does not crinkle. Not waterproof. Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Measure a pillow flat, edge to edge, without compressing it. A protector cut too small will not close over a fill and a protector cut too large bunches under the pillowcase.
Testing and compliance
The CleanAir® protector meets ASTM F1670-08 for synthetic blood and fluid penetration and carries a 16 CFR 1610 flame retardancy report and an independent bed bug bite proof test. The 6-gauge vinyl protector is independently lab tested bite proof and is flame retardant to commercial requirements. All reports are published rather than offered on request. Read the test reports and lab results.

Common questions
What is the case pack size for commercial pillow protectors?
The 6-Gauge Vinyl Pillow Protector ships 12 pairs per case, which is 24 individual protectors and covers 12 beds. The CleanAir zippered protector ships 24 units per case. Case quantities on the other lines are quoted per order. Item numbers for the vinyl protector are 1006 Standard, 1007 Queen and 1009 King.
Should a hotel buy vinyl or knit pillow protectors?
It depends on whether your housekeeping team launders protectors or wipes them. Vinyl wipes clean with the disinfectant already on the cart and goes straight back on the bed, which suits high-turnover rooms, healthcare and behavioral health. The CleanAir knit feels softer under a pillowcase and goes through the laundry, which suits extended stay, assisted living and residential programs. Many properties run both, vinyl where rooms turn daily and knit in the long-stay wing.
Can we get samples before ordering for a whole property?
Yes. Tell us the lines you are considering and the sizes you use, and we will send samples. Nobody should specify hundreds of pillow protectors from a photograph, and a housekeeping team will tell you within a day whether a protector works in their process.
Do you accept purchase orders and tax-exempt orders?
Yes to both. Send your purchase order and your exemption certificate with the quote request and we will set the account up for it. Volume pricing is tiered by quantity, so include a room count and a size mix and you will get a quote back within one business day.
Are these pillow protectors waterproof?
The vinyl protectors and the CleanAir zippered protector are waterproof. The T-180 hidden zipper and French fold covers are linen-program covers and are not waterproof. The AllergyCare cotton protector is a woven allergen barrier with no membrane, so it breathes and is not waterproof either. Check the specification rather than assuming a zipper means a liquid barrier.
Are these available for government or GSA procurement?
Yes. Bargoose is available to federal buyers through GSA MAS SIN 314120 and is registered and active in SAM.gov under UEI JGXFJ6W392N8 and CAGE 8CRR4. Domestic manufacturing is available for contracts that require it. Bargoose is also a certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise, which counts toward supplier diversity goals.
