I really like the look and feel of this pillow -- I bought two! But the description is misleading when it says the cover is removable for washing. Technically it is... there is a zipper to zip it off. But to remove it, you need to cut off the buttons first. Then, when you put the cover back on, you have to retuft it by sewing both buttons on front and back, joining them by thread so that they pull to the center and create the indentations. Caveat Emptor.
