To use two pillowcases per pillow

[deliakate]

... an 'under pillow case' (usually quite thick, coarser cotton) and an upper (matching the bed linen or just plain white, but fine thread count)?
I don't think I am, but my cleaner seems utterly unable to understand, and she pulls off both cases on some pillows, and replaces with the coarse ones on top. I always spend ages going through sorting all the beds out, rewashing etc. Even though I've tried to explain it to her lots of times. I think I need diagrams.

Blimey, I think I missed a trick in not asking my cleaner to make beds when I had one. Didn't occur to me, for some reason.

YANBU by the way. I do the same. Nothing worse than a horrid dribble soaked pillow.

How odd- it has never occurred to me! But we do change/chuck out the old pillows every 2 months

What?? Why?? I'm so confused yet this appears to be the norm!

The whole pillow? Wow, that would get expensive, non?

BBFF - because it protects the pillow from dribble. Same function as a pillow/mattress protector, I guess.

Not particularly unreasonable - its your system and your house.

We all have our little foibles. Mine is get cheap enough pillows and you can stick the whole things (including covers if you like) in the wash. OK you need a stack of five to make them higher than a paperback but I don't like pouffy pillows anyway/

I also get cheap 4.5 tog double duvets and you can stick them in an average sized washing machine (again, with covers if really lazy and never have to put a duvet cover on again). You might need a couple on a double bed to get the warmth but I just think of it as his and hers.

I use two. Occasionally I wash the pillows but sometimes the stuffing goes lumpy and the pillow's ruined.

I use the pillow protectors as both me and DH are terrible dribblers

Pillows are touch subject on this house at the moment as our youngest son refuses to go near DH's pillow (comes in on a morning for cuddles) as it 'smells of Daddy's head', which DH is mortally wounded by lol

I use an underpillow protector (morrocan silk) and then an overlay antimacassar and a high thread count top case with he main fbric warp running parallel to my crows feet. I ask the cleaner to strip the beds and to put the undersheets back on but I do prefer her not to touch the antimacassars in case she has grease, dust or cleaning fluid residue on her fingers. If the beds feel a bit dirty then I tend just to burn them and get new ones.

We are a two pillow case family, too. I though everyone did the same.

YANBU at all, perfectly normal.

Me too, little jobbie, me too.

Except I don't have crows feet

You throw away pillows every two months MrsGuy?

I use pillow protectors on mine and DS's pillows and double pillowcases on the guest ones. My cleaners have always understood this

we use two - the underneath one is plain thick cotton
