Respira liquid-proof pillowcase, Dark grey

Among the most advanced products on the market, dark grey Respira combines a luxuriously soft pillowcase with a completely waterproof pillow protector – sleep directly on comfortable organic cotton and keep your pillow hygienic for much longer!

Have you ever considered how much moisture, skin oil and other impurities can accumulate in a pillow during everyday use? Our bodies release more than a litre of moisture a day, and during the night sweat, skin cells, dandruff, skin oils, odours, saliva and cosmetics can also reach the pillow.

An ordinary pillowcase protects the pillow only partly, as moisture and impurities can pass through the fabric directly into the pillow cover and filling. Velfont Respira prevents this discreetly and effectively.

Respira combines a luxuriously soft cotton pillowcase with a completely waterproof pillow protector. It prevents liquids, stains, sweat, skin oils, bacteria and dust mites from entering the pillow while feeling pleasantly soft against the skin.

Respira stands out from ordinary pillow protectors thanks to its exceptional breathability. Its third-generation polyurethane membrane is four times more breathable than the material used in ordinary waterproof pillowcases, sheets and mattress protectors. It is completely waterproof yet silent, discreet and comfortable without a clammy feel.

The surface is made of 100% high-quality organic cotton. You can sleep directly on Respira, so no separate pillowcase is needed. If you prefer, you can also use it as an ordinary pillow protector and put a pillowcase of your choice over it.

The dark grey colour creates a calm, modern, hotel-inspired bed. The dark shade works especially well with grey, black and earth-toned bed linen.

Why choose the Respira pillowcase and pillow protector?

• Two products in one: Respira works as both a luxuriously soft pillowcase and an effective pillow protector.
• Completely waterproof: The polyurethane protective layer prevents sweat, skin oils, cosmetics, saliva, stains and other liquids from entering the pillow.
• Four times more breathable: The third-generation polyurethane membrane is four times more breathable than the material used in ordinary waterproof pillowcases, sheets and mattress protectors.
• 100% organic cotton against your skin: The high-quality cotton surface feels soft and comfortable even when you sleep directly on Respira.
• No separate pillowcase needed: Respira is designed to be used on its own. If you prefer, you can still put an ordinary pillowcase over it.
• Discreet and silent: The thin polyurethane backing does not rustle, feel clammy or disturb sleep.
• Extends pillow life: Keeping moisture and impurities out of the pillow helps it stay clean and in good condition for much longer.
• Reduces the need to wash your pillow: Easy-to-wash Respira collects impurities from use and protects the pillow itself from repeated washing.
• Protects against dust mites and bacteria: The waterproof construction helps maintain a cleaner, more hygienic sleeping environment.
• Suitable for people with allergies: OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified Respira is also an excellent choice for people with allergies.
• Suitable for all pillow types: Respira can be used with fibre, down, wool, foam, viscoelastic and ergonomic pillows.
• Three size options: Sizes are available for viscoelastic pillows, standard Finnish pillows and large pillows.
• Made in Spain: High-quality Respira is made in Spain.

Who is Respira for?

Respira is for you if you want effective pillow protection without compromising on breathability, softness or sleeping comfort.

It is an excellent choice for sleepers who perspire or feel warm at night. Four times more breathable than an ordinary pillow protector, the construction lets water vapour escape while keeping liquid moisture out of the pillow.

Respira also suits you if you use night creams, skincare or other cosmetics on your face or hair. The waterproof backing prevents these products and skin oils from reaching the inside of the pillow.

The OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified material suits people with allergies and anyone who wants to maintain the cleanest possible sleeping environment.

Respira is especially useful with a high-quality, valuable or hard-to-wash pillow. It suits down, foam and viscoelastic pillows, for example, which may not be suitable for machine washing in their entirety.

The easy-to-wash pillowcase suits homes as well as hotels, care homes, other accommodation, holiday rentals, rental properties and Airbnb apartments.

Use as a pillowcase or pillow protector

Respira has a pleasantly soft organic cotton surface that you can sleep on directly. No separate pillowcase is needed.

Used as a pillowcase, Respira gives you both a soft sleeping surface and completely waterproof pillow protection in one product. Its dark grey colour makes it a stylish part of the bed on its own.

If you want to use your own pillowcase or change the colour and style of your bed, fit Respira over the pillow as a protector. Then put your ordinary pillowcase over Respira as usual.

An inner envelope flap keeps the pillow neatly inside Respira without buttons or a zip.

Choose the right size for your pillow

The dark grey Respira pillowcase is available in three sizes.

• 40×60 cm: fits viscoelastic and ergonomic pillows, such as Tempur-style pillows.
• 50×60 cm: fits standard Finnish 50×60 cm pillows, such as the Hotel Luxus No Problem 800 g pillow.
• 60×80 cm: fits large 60×80 cm pillows, such as the Hotel Luxus No Problem 1400 g large pillow.

The sizing takes washing shrinkage into account. The pillowcase may therefore intentionally be slightly larger than the pillow before the first few washes.

Choose the right colour for your bedroom

This product is dark grey. The deep, calm shade creates a modern, stylish, hotel-inspired bed.

The white Respira pillowcase gives the bed a fresh, timeless and classic look.

The light grey Respira pillowcase gives the bed a soft, light and understated look.

Materials and construction

Respira’s skin-contact surface is made of 100% high-quality organic cotton. Its softness lets you use the product like an ordinary pillowcase without an additional pillowcase over it.

Behind the cotton surface is a third-generation polyurethane membrane. It is completely waterproof yet four times more breathable than the material used in ordinary waterproof pillowcases, sheets and mattress protectors.

The polyurethane membrane lets water vapour generated during use pass through while keeping liquid moisture out of the pillow. The thin material is silent, discreet and comfortable without a clammy feel.

The pillowcase has an inner envelope flap that keeps the pillow neatly in place and hidden.

Washing and care instructions

Respira can be machine washed at 60 °C. When needed, it also withstands a higher washing temperature of up to 90 °C.

The product can be tumble dried on low heat. Do not iron Respira.

Before washing, check that there are no sharp objects, open zips or other parts in the drum or the same load that could damage the polyurethane backing.

Wash dark grey Respira with similar colours.

Respira does not need to be washed before first use.

Always follow the care instructions attached to the product.

Before first use

Choose the size according to the actual dimensions of your pillow. Washing shrinkage has been taken into account in the sizing.

The Respira pillowcase is a hygiene product. It can be exchanged or returned within 14 days of receipt if the hygiene seal and packaging are intact and the product has not been opened or used. Once the hygiene seal has been opened or damaged, the product cannot be exchanged or returned.

See section 8 of this page for exchange and return instructions. Please read the terms carefully before exchanging or returning a product.

1. Free exchanges and returns

Returns and exchanges of saleable products are free of charge for the customer if the following conditions are met:

• The customer contacts the seller before returning the product by emailing info(at)sisustus1.fi within 14 days of receiving the order, or via the return link.
• The return is made according to the seller's instructions, using the return method or code provided by the seller.

Free returns do not apply to:

• Made-to-order products
• Furniture or products supplied specifically for the customer
• International orders (orders delivered outside Finland)
• Products with no right of return
• Business customer orders

For orders delivered outside Finland, the customer is always responsible for any return costs. We recommend using a reliable, tracked delivery service.

The right of return does not apply to free items included in promotions. For example, a customer cannot return a mattress protector received free with a bed purchase and receive a refund equal to its value. Likewise, if a customer orders a product that comes with a free item, the free item or items must also be returned when exchanging or returning the product, and must meet the exchange or return conditions. The original product must meet those conditions for an exchange or return to be possible. If the customer does not return the free items, or they do not meet the return conditions, their price including tax at the time of sale will be charged.

If the customer returns a product without prior notice or without the seller's instructions, the customer is responsible for the return costs. In that case, the customer must arrange delivery to the seller's warehouse using a method of their choice.

The online store has promotions that activate when an order exceeds a specified value and meets any other conditions set by the promotion. If returned products reduce the order value below the promotion's minimum amount, the discount or promotional benefit expires. The customer must then also return any gift or benefit received through the discount. If the gift or benefit is not returned, the company may charge the customer for its value. If the benefit was free delivery, a delivery charge of €6.90 will be deducted from the product refund.

2. Right of return

Under the Consumer Protection Act, the customer has the right to cancel the order or exchange part of it within 14 (fourteen) days of receiving the product. Products returned or exchanged must be unused, in a saleable condition and packed in their intact original product packaging. We offer free exchanges and returns for saleable products that meet the return conditions. Products with attached tags must be returned unused, with the tags in their original positions. 

Hygiene products may be exchanged or returned if their seal and packaging are intact and unopened. Otherwise, hygiene products cannot be returned or exchanged. If a hygiene product is packed in sealed packaging, it cannot be exchanged or returned once the seal is broken. Hygiene products include, for example, pillows, duvets, protectors, mattress toppers, bed linen, mattresses, beds and underpants.

See section 3 for product-specific return rights.

The right of return under the Consumer Protection Act applies to distance sales where the customer has not had the opportunity to inspect the product.

Free returns mean that the customer can return a product without paying a separate return charge, such as postage. The delivery fee, meaning the original charge for sending the order, is not refunded unless the delivered product is defective. If an order qualified for free delivery through an online store promotion, for example by exceeding a minimum order value, and a return brings the order value below that threshold or otherwise means the promotion's conditions are no longer met, a delivery charge of €6.90 will be deducted from the refund. Likewise, any products received as a promotional benefit must be returned in a saleable condition.

The customer is responsible for return costs for products made specifically for them, such as mattress toppers, beds, sofas and headboards.

If an order uses an offer such as Buy 1, get 1 free or Buy 1, get the second at 50% off, any return must first be applied to the discounted item. For example, if you wish to return only one of the items, the refund will be based on the discounted item's price. If you return both items, the refund will cover the value of both. 

If you return a product that came with a free item, the free item must also be returned in a saleable condition. Otherwise, the free item's normal selling price will be deducted from the refund for the original product.

4. Consumer's right of withdrawal

Under the Consumer Protection Act (38/1978), a consumer has the right to cancel all or part of their order without giving a reason within fourteen (14) days of receiving the product. If the last day falls on a weekend or public holiday, the period extends to the next working day.

Cancel your order using our cancellation form.  Complete and submit the form, and you will receive an automatic email acknowledgement as proof of cancellation.

After cancellation, the returned product must be in its intact original product packaging and in the condition in which it was delivered to the customer. Product tags and seals must be intact and in their original positions. You may inspect the product normally, as you would in a shop. If it has been handled more than this, we may deduct the reduction in value from the refund or refuse the return.

The refund will be made using the original payment method no later than within 14 days after we have received and inspected the return.

The right of withdrawal does not apply at all to the following products (these have no right of withdrawal): see section 3 for the specific return rights for your product.

• Hygiene products whose delivery packaging has been opened or seal broken (see section 3)
• Made-to-order products, such as personalised products, furniture or products in special dimensions
• Furniture or made-to-order products manufactured or supplied specifically for the customer with fabric, dimensions or similar features chosen by the customer

The customer may return products that meet the return conditions within 14 days of receiving the order. The products must be sent back no later than 14 days after the customer has notified us that they wish to exercise their right of return. The seller will refund the product price within 14 days of receiving and inspecting the returned products. The refund will use the same payment method as the original purchase.

For furniture orders, the customer may cancel within 14 days of placing the order by contacting the seller.

Original delivery charges are not refunded unless the delivery or product was incorrect or defective. The customer is responsible for return costs if the returned product or package is larger than a pickup-point parcel. In that case, the customer may choose the return delivery method. If free home delivery was included in the furniture delivery, the standard retail price of that delivery will be deducted from the refund total.

If the returned product does not meet the return conditions, we will contact the customer and offer to send it back to them for a postage fee. If the customer does not want it sent back, we will recycle the product. Returns that do not meet the return conditions will not be refunded.
