Quick answer
The Sparrow Pregnancy Pillow Cover is designed to fit WildBird's Pregnancy Pillow with a full-length zipper and tie ends that create a donut shape. For care, unzip and remove the cover, then wash it gently according to the fabric option you chose—never force the zipper or overstuff the pillow.
Why the zipper and ties change fit and care
The full-length zipper runs along the cover, so you can open it wide to insert or remove the pillow instead of wrestling it through a small opening. That same zipper needs a little attention: close it before washing to prevent the teeth from snagging the fabric, and check that no fabric is caught when you zip it shut.
The two fabric strips at the opposite end tie together to form a donut shape for added support. That shape is useful beyond maternity, but it also means the cover is not a simple rectangular sham—when you wash it, keep the ties from tangling by tying them loosely or securing them with a laundry bag.
What to check before you buy a cover
Because the Sparrow cover is made specifically for WildBird's Pregnancy Pillow, start with the pillow you already own rather than guessing from a standard pillow size. If you are buying the cover as a spare or replacement, confirm your pillow matches the WildBird Pregnancy Pillow shape.
The cover comes in a fabric option, and the right care routine depends on which fabric you select. The product page lists the available fabric choice; follow the care guidance for that fabric rather than assuming all covers wash the same way.
Sparrow cover fit and care FAQ
- How do I know the Sparrow cover will fit my pillow?
- The Sparrow cover is made for WildBird's Pregnancy Pillow, so it is sized to that pillow rather than to standard bed pillows. Check that your pillow is the WildBird Pregnancy Pillow before ordering a replacement cover. Measure your pillow only if you are unsure it is the WildBird model; the cover is not a universal fit.
- How do I put the cover on without straining the zipper?
- Open the full-length zipper completely, slide the pillow in from the open end, and close the zipper only after the pillow is fully inside and the fabric is clear of the teeth. Do not pull the zipper closed while the pillow is still bunched at the opening. A fully open zipper is the key to easy changes and fewer snags.
- How should I wash a pregnancy pillow cover?
- Remove the cover from the pillow, close the zipper, and secure the tie strips so they do not tangle. Wash according to the care instructions for the specific fabric option you purchased—do not assume all fabric choices share the same wash temperature or drying method. Check the fabric option on your order before washing; the care method can differ by fabric.
- Can I dry the cover in a machine dryer?
- Drying guidance depends on the fabric option. If you are unsure, air-dry the cover flat or hang it to protect the zipper and ties, and avoid high heat that could shrink or distort the fabric. When in doubt, air-dry—it is the safer choice for the zipper and tie shape.
- What is the best way to store the cover between uses?
- Store the cover flat or loosely folded with the zipper closed and ties untangled. Avoid compressing it under heavy items, which can crease the fabric and put pressure on the zipper coil. Keep the zipper closed in storage to prevent it from catching on other laundry.
- Can I use the Sparrow cover after pregnancy?
- Yes—the cover is designed to work beyond the maternity phase, and the tie ends let you shape it into a donut for extra support. The same care steps apply: secure the ties and close the zipper before washing. Long-term use makes gentle washing and proper drying more important, not less.
