Your spa headrest (or pillow) is more than just a comfort feature—it’s an essential part of your relaxation experience. Over time, however, even the best headrests can wear out, leaving you with less support and a less enjoyable soak.

If you’ve noticed your spa headrest isn’t what it used to be, it might be time for a replacement. Here’s how to tell when it’s time to upgrade and why it’s worth it.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Spa Headrest

1. Visible Wear and Tear
   Cracks, fading, or peeling are clear signs your headrest is past its prime. Constant exposure to water, chemicals, and UV rays can cause the material to break down, making it less comfortable and less durable.
2. Loss of Shape or Support
   A good spa headrest should provide firm yet comfortable support. If yours feels flat, lumpy, or no longer holds its shape, it’s time for a new one.
3. Discolouration or Stains
   Over time, spa headrests can become discoloured or stained due to chemicals, oils, or algae. While this might not affect functionality, it can make your spa look less inviting.
4. Unpleasant Odours
   If your headrest has developed a musty or chemical smell that won’t go away, it’s likely absorbing water or chemicals. This can be a breeding ground for bacteria and mould.
5. It’s Just Uncomfortable
   If you find yourself constantly adjusting or avoiding the headrest altogether, it’s a sign it’s no longer doing its job. Your spa experience should be relaxing, not frustrating!

Why Replace Your Spa Headrest?

A worn-out headrest can detract from your spa experience, but replacing it offers several benefits:

• Enhanced Comfort: A new headrest provides the support you need for ultimate relaxation.
• Improved Aesthetics: Freshen up your spa’s look with a clean, new headrest.
• Better Hygiene: Replace old, stained, or mouldy headrests to keep your spa clean and safe.
