I really like how thick this pillow protector is. It is quilted and thick, which makes my pillow even more comfortable to sleep on. The zipper closes snugly around my pillow to keep it protected from dust and allergens. I tend to get allergies badly and I love that I can easily zip this off and wash it to keep my pillow fresh and clean. It washes up well in the washer and dryer and is easy to care for. My pillow case even glides effortlessly on.
