Definitely make sure you read the description- fortunately I had a pillow the right size, but I certainly looked passed where it said “pillow cover”. The zipper is very discreet, and the quality is great. There is a very strong chemical smell when you take it out of the packaging- I’ve had it out of the package for two days now, and it’s still lingering. Once it disappears, though, it’ll make for a beautiful addition to my living room!
