I received AllerEase Ultimate Pillow Protector in exchange for my honest opinion. I have never used a pillow protector before so to my pleasure when testing it initially I did rest my head on the protector without a pillowcase covering it. The protector itself is a clean white case and to my surprise it is quite comfortable as is. I later used my own pillow covering to complete my bed set. I feel that with the protector my pillow stays clean and fresh and definitely helps with dander and other allergens. Overall, I would definitely purchase for my significant other as family to use on their own pillows.
