Description
A hospital pillow with Mackintosh is a patient-care pillow paired with a waterproof Mackintosh cover—traditionally a rubberized or PVC-coated cloth used in hospitals to create a hygienic barrier. The wipe-clean cover shields the pillow core from fluids, stains, and odors, helping facilities maintain infection-control standards and extend pillow life. Unlike ordinary home pillows, this combination is built for repeated cleaning between patients without losing comfort.
Key features and benefits:
• Waterproof, fluid-resistant Mackintosh cover that wipes down quickly with approved cleaners.
• Durable stitching and tear-resistant coated fabric for multi-use settings.
• Reusable construction helps reduce replacement frequency and total cost of ownership.
• Comfortable, supportive pillow fill designed for patient rest while remaining easy to maintain.
• Options available with properties such as anti-static or fire-retardant covers, depending on specification.
Common use cases and industries:
• Hospitals, clinics, and day-surgery units for beds, trolleys, and procedure rooms.
• Long-term care, rehabilitation, maternity, and home-health environments where frequent cleaning is essential.
• High-turnover areas that benefit from wipeable, quick-dry surfaces to speed room turnaround.
How it compares:
• Versus standard cotton pillows, Mackintosh-covered pillows resist fluids and clean faster, reducing cross-contamination risk.
• Versus disposable pillows, reusable Mackintosh solutions provide better long-term value and comfort when maintained properly.
About Mackintosh material:
Mackintosh sheeting is the same waterproof hospital rubber/PVC cloth widely used to protect mattresses and surfaces; as a pillow cover it delivers the same reliable barrier in a compact, patient-friendly format.
