Not a bad choice at all. For the cover, I personally dont like a zipper closure but it hides well on the seam. Its also small and thin enough not to snag hair or fabric. The pillows do ship compressed but being a polyester fill it wasnt a problem to get them back to shape. Thought about switching to a foam or down but may just keep as is because I can throw them in the washer and not worry about it. Like the texture.
