Once we were able to get the cover on it was nice. It isn't too hot or crinkly-sounding as other covers. One frustrating part was the zipper. While trying to get it zipped up, the zipper kept getting stuck in this little overlapping fabric behind the zipper. 

Also there are very nice instructions on the cardboard cover on how to put the mattress on with two people. Unfortunately the instructions of standing the mattress vertically would not work for our bed. Standing the mattress upright isn't an option because of low ceilings and a ceiling fan. Even with that limitation we were able to get the cover on. It took a little extra effort but it was doable.

Another minor annoyance was once the mattress cover was in place it was very puffy with air. We had to unzip flatten out the air. Fabric however is very soft and odorless.
