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.

Summary of return and exchange rights

1. Free return and exchange

The return and exchange of saleable products is free of charge to the customer, provided that the customer complies with the following conditions:

• The customer must contact the seller before returning the item by email to info(at)sisustus1.fi within 14 days of delivery of the order.
• The return is made according to the instructions provided by the seller, using the return method or code provided by the seller.

Free returns do not apply to:

• Custom-made products
• Furniture or customer-specific products
• International orders (Orders delivered outside Finland)
• Hygiene products whose packaging or seal has been opened (see section 3 for more details)

The customer is responsible for any return costs for orders shipped outside of Finland. We recommend using a trackable and reliable delivery method.

The right of return also does not apply to any store covers that may be included in the campaigns. That is, the customer cannot, for example, return a mattress protector that was received as a store cover when purchasing a bed and receive a refund for the value of the product. Similarly, if the customer orders a product that comes with a store cover, the product/products that came as a store cover must also be returned in connection with the return or exchange, which must also meet the exchange or return conditions in accordance with the terms and conditions. The original product must also meet the exchange or return conditions in order for the exchange or return to be carried out.

If the customer returns the product without prior notice or without instructions from the seller, the customer is responsible for the costs of the return. In this case, the return must be delivered to the seller's warehouse in the manner of their choice.

2. Consumer's right of withdrawal

The consumer has the right, in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act (38/1978), to cancel their order in whole or in part within fourteen (14) days of receiving the product. The right of cancellation only applies to unused, in original condition and saleable products that are returned in the original, undamaged product packaging.

Products must be returned in the same condition as when they were delivered to the customer. Products with product tags or seals attached must be returned with these in their original place and intact.

The right of return does not apply to:

• Products that have been used, processed or otherwise modified.
• Products with product tags removed or broken.
• Hygiene products whose packaging has been opened or the seal has been broken.
• Custom-made products (for example, branded products and furniture).
• Furniture or custom products that are manufactured or delivered individually to the customer.
• Products that are not fit for sale

3. Right to return and exchange hygiene products

Hygiene products are not eligible for exchange or return once the product packaging has been opened or the product seal has been broken. This restriction is based on the industry standard for hygiene products and Chapter 6, Section 16 of the Consumer Protection Act, which defines restrictions on the right to return for health and hygiene reasons.

Hygiene products include, for example:

• Pillows and blankets
• Mattresses, mattress pads and covers
• Bedding (e.g. duvet covers, flat sheets and pillowcases)
• Beds
• Panties and similar intimate products

If the hygiene product is packaged in a sealed package, returns and exchanges are only possible if the seal is intact and the product has not been opened or used. If the seal of the hygiene product is broken, the product cannot be exchanged or returned for sale and no return or exchange can be made. Hygiene products can be exchanged or returned if their packaging and seal are intact in accordance with the normal return conditions.

4. Return deadlines and refunds

Returned products must be returned no later than 14 days after the customer has notified them of their right to return. The seller will refund the price of the product to the consumer within 14 days of receiving and checking the returned products. The refund will be made using the same payment method used by the customer for the original purchase, unless otherwise agreed.

Original shipping costs will not be refunded unless the delivery or product is faulty.
