How do you pronounce KOVRD?

KOVRD is pronounced just like "covered." It’s a nod to how our products have got you covered when travelling and a nod to a traditional pillow cover with the plus of ensuring your wellness and hygiene needs are met while you travel.

Our Story

The KOVRD journey is as personal as it gets. It all started with our founder's battle against acne, a tale filled with endless dermatologist appointments and the daunting prospect of relying on strong medications – a route she desperately wanted to avoid.

Amidst this struggle, she encountered a simple, yet life-changing piece of advice from a dermatologist: switch your pillow cover nightly to fend off bacteria. Imagine this – your pillow holds more than a thousand times more bacteria than a toilet seat after only three nights, turning each night's rest into a breeding ground for acne.

The Problem

  • Bacteria found on pillows are the leading contributor to skin concerns.

    Dermatologists and experts recommend changing switching your pillow cover anywhere from every few days to daily (more often if you regularly wear makeup or are particularly acne-prone.)

  • "It doesn't matter what skin care you use or what treatments you have if you are sleeping on a dirty pillow"

The Science

and it worked!

Now faced with the task of keeping her pillow cover perpetually fresh, she pondered, 'Isn't there an easier way?'

This moment of frustration sowed the seeds for KOVRD. Born from the need for a straightforward, hassle-free solution, KOVRD was designed for anyone seeking to maintain a clean sleeping environment effortlessly, night after night."

The next stage...

We didn't stop at creating a biodegradable, one-time-use pillow cover.

We wanted to add something special, so we brought in microencapsulation technology and formulated 11 dreamy essential oils that slow release over the space of the night.

This wasn't just about keeping your pillow clean; it was about making your sleep better and your skin clearer.

Tea tree for its antibacterial magic, lavender for a stress-free sleep, and chamomile to calm – every ingredient was picked to boost your nightly routine.
