Good surprises, actually 3): I was pleasantly surprised to find 2 sets of pillow cases (I didn't expect that because I'd failed to read the description carefully). The cases are designed to 'tuck' the pillow in - nice! They are also big enough for a larger 'body pillow.' I used 2, one on either side.
Bad surprise: Last night, after only one washing, I found a tear in the seam of one of pillow cases. It measures less than 2" but it really shouldn't be there at all.
