Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Hotel in Torquay was overhauling its 30 guest rooms and needed to replace jejich aging pillow stock. Their priority was finding a product that was both compliant with safety regulations and easy for their small housekeeping team to maintain during the busy tourist season.
"We switched to the Mitre Essentials pillows and the difference in our cleaning routine was immediate. They are simple to care for, look professional, and we have confidence they meet the necessary safety standards. It's one less thing for us to worry about."
Michael Edwards – General Manager
The move resulted in a 25% reduction in time spent on bedding maintenance, allowing staff to focus on other guest-facing duties.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, unpack pillows and allow them to air for a couple of hours to return to their full, plump shape.
- Always use a standard pillowcase to protect the pillow and ensure maximum hygiene for each guest.
- Ensure the pillow is completely dry after any cleaning before covering it with a pillowcase.
Keeping It Going
- This is a washable commercial pillow in spirit, but not in a machine! It's wipe-clean only. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent for any spills.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this will damage the internal fibre structure.
- Regularly check pillows for signs of wear and replace when they no longer offer adequate support.
- Store any spare pillows in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the firmness level of this pillow?
A: This pillow is generally considered to be medium-firm, offering a good balance of comfort and support that suits most people.
Q: Can I machine wash the Mitre Essentials pillow?
A: No, this pillow is designed to be wipe-clean only. Machine washing can cause the polyester filling to clump together and will ruin the pillow's structure.
Q: Is the pillow noisy to sleep on?
A: Not at all. The polypropylene cover and polyester filling are specifically chosen to be quiet, with no rustling or crinkling sounds.
Q: Do these pillows flatten easily?
A: The commercial-grade polyester fibre filling is designed to be resilient and holds its shape much better than standard domestic pillows, even with frequent use.
Q: Is the cover removable for washing?
A: The cover is an integral part of the pillow and is not removable. It's designed to be wiped clean directly on its surface.
Q: What does 'FR' in the filling description mean?
A: 'FR' simply stands for Flame Retardant, which means the fibres have been treated to resist catching fire and meet strict safety standards.
Q: Are pillow protectors necessary with these?
A: While the wipe-clean surface offers great protection, using a separate pillow protector and pillowcase is always best practice for ultimate hygiene and to extend the pillow's life.
Q: What type of business is this pillow best for?
A: It's ideal for any business that needs a durable, safe, and easy-to-maintain pillow, including hotels, B&Bs, care homes, and student lets.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhat Does 'BS 7175 Source 5' Actually Mean For You?
You'll often see safety codes on commercial bedding, but 'BS 7175 Source 5' can seem like jargon. In simple terms, think of it as a fire safety MOT for furnishings used in contract environments like hotels or hospitals. The 'Source 5' part refers to the test it has passed, which simulates something more significant than a dropped cigarette, like a small wooden structure (a 'crib') being lit on the pillow. For this Mitre Essentials pillow to pass, it proves it will not burst into flames and will self-extinguish. This crucial feature can prevent a small accident from turning into a major disaster, protecting your property and, most importantly, your guests.
