I got this for my fiancé who suffers from really bad dust and pollen allergies, she would cough at night in bed and sneeze numerous times. Since using the AllerEase pillow protector her coughing and sneezing in bed has lessened drastically. The pillow case is extremely soft and has a zipper to keep it on the pillow, which is great because she is a bit of a wild sleeper and her pillow cases usually come off. The pillow case is very breathable, and she says she has been also sleeping better since using it. I am definitely buying more for our other pillows!
