As a person that have allergies this is a great pillow case to have. I love the texture it is cotton but if feels like it has a thick layer so it is perfect. Love that it fits great over my pillow. This product suppose to protect from allergy that comes from dust mites, Pollen and pet dander. It feels soft to the touch and comfortable as that it has a temperature balancing. I do like this pillow cover and like that it has a zipper as well.
