The Yankee Pool Pillow uses thick 0.4 mm PVC, reinforced seams, and a dual Boston valve to offer a dependable cushion between the cover and pool water. It includes reinforced grommets and a long rope for secure centering so the pillow stays in place through storms and temperature swings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Yankee Pool Pillow protect my pool during freezing weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pillow acts as a pressure absorber: inflate it partially and it takes the stress of ice expansion, preventing the cover from pressing directly against the pool walls.
