LOVE the feel of this cover! This is soft under the pillow case and also does not make noise (which is super important to me). It also works and protects the pillow inside as intended. Nothing gets through to stain the pillow! My pillows look brand-new and this is appreciated. This is also a decent way to "refresh" a pillow that has life left yet has been stained because it lacked a cover or had a poor cover at some point, such as for a guest bed. (I have used these for that purpose and they are GREAT and the pillows look new/clean, which is fantastic since the pillows are definitely not worn out, just lacked covers at some point.) Easy to wash and keep in good shape/appearance!
