Introduction

Pool cover pillows create an air cushion that supports winter covers and prevents water from pooling on the surface. Proper inflation and placement reduce stress on the cover material and help avoid liner damage. Choose sizes that match your pool dimensions for best results.

  • Material thickness affects puncture resistance and how well the pillow withstands freezing temperatures and shifting ice.
  • Valve design influences ease of inflation and the ability to release air for storage without damaging the seam.
  • Shape and size compatibility ensures the pillow stays centered and provides even support across the entire cover area.

Select pool cover pillows sized for your pool and suited to your climate conditions.

FAQs

Fill until firm but not rock-hard. Leave slight give to absorb ice expansion. Over-inflation can stress seams and cause premature failure during freeze-thaw cycles.

Center the pillow in the deepest part of the pool. This position keeps the cover elevated at the middle and directs water toward the edges for drainage.

Most standard pillows support only the center section. Larger or oddly shaped pools may require multiple pillows or a different support system for full coverage.

Deflate completely, fold loosely, and keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid sharp creases that can weaken the material over time.

They function with both types. Solid covers benefit more from the raised center that prevents standing water, while mesh covers still gain protection from ice pressure.
