This is an easy way to minimize allergen exposure. The protector zips over the pillow easily and yet is snug enough to not cause wrinkles under your regular pillow case. It's temperature balancing so that the user is not too hot or too cold. It protects against dust mites, pollen, pet dander and bedbugs and also has antimicrobial protection. It's also softer to the touch than I would have thought. I would like to have allerease protectors on all of our pillows and mattresses. I would recommend this product to others.
