The DoCred 6-foot pool pillow is made of heavy-duty 0.4mm textured PVC and inflates to create a peaked center beneath a winter cover. It keeps precipitation from pooling, helps the cover shed water and snow, and distributes lateral pressure away from walls to reduce stress during freeze-thaw cycles. The set includes repair patches and ropes so you can install and maintain the pillow across seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this pillow protect my above-ground pool during winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pillow creates a raised center point beneath your cover so rain and melted snow run toward the edges instead of pooling in the middle. That prevents excessive weight on the cover and reduces the risk of water overflowing the skimmer or pressing inward on the pool wall. It also keeps the winter cover from direct contact with the pool surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6ft round shape centers support under most above-ground covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePromotes runoff and prevents ponding that can stress supports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLifts cover to reduce wall pressure and potential deformation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with standard winter cover setups and straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and construction ensure durability outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from 0.4mm textured PVC, the DoCred pillow is designed to tolerate cold temperatures and outdoor exposure during winter storage. The textured surface resists abrasion from the cover and reduces slippage, while the Dual Boston-style valves allow secure inflation and controlled deflation without leaks.

Inflate to roughly 70–80% capacity so temperature changes won’t overpressurize the pillow. During spring opening, deflate, dry, and store the pillow away from sharp objects and sunlight to extend its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInflate to about 70–80% to allow air expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlace in pool center before draping winter cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse included ropes to keep pillow centered and stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeflate, dry, patch if needed, and store indoors after season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this fit my pool and winter cover setup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6-foot round design fits a wide range of above-ground pools and is particularly effective for round and smaller oval covers that need a central lift. If you have a very large pool or an unusually shaped cover, multiple pillows or a different size may be recommended for even support.
