Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Hotel in Portsmouth was looking for a way to reduce their annual spend on new pillows, which were frequently being damaged by guest spills and general wear. They needed a solution that was both protective and comfortable for their guests.
"The Mitre protectors have been brilliant. Our pillows now last three times as long, and housekeeping loves how easy they are to wipe down and wash. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our bedding is properly protected and hygienic for every new arrival."
Michael Davies – Operations Manager
By implementing the Mitre GT799 across all 80 rooms, the hotel significantly cut down on waste and reduced its annual pillow replacement budget by over 50%.

Ever wondered what a 'flat head safety zip' actually is? Think of it like a child-proof cap for your pillows. Unlike a standard zip with a prominent pull-tab that's easy to grab, the flat head zip is designed to lie flush against the fabric. It has no tag to grip, making it very difficult for guests to unzip and remove the protector out of curiosity or by accident.
This small detail is a huge plus for housekeeping teams. It guarantees the protector stays on the pillow, doing its job 24/7. This ensures your investment is always shielded and eliminates the need for staff to check and refit protectors during every changeover, saving valuable time while maintaining your hygiene standards flawlessly.
