National Allergy Premium 100% Cotton Zippered Pillow Protector - Standard Size - White - 300 Thread Count - Hypoallergenic Bed Pillowcase with Zipper - Breathable Encasement Cover

I recently got my hands on this pillow, and I have to say, it's fantastic! The only hiccup was that it had a bit of a strange smell right out of the package, but after giving it some air, it was all good. The best part? Everything they promised in the specifications turned out to be spot on!

great pillows. make sure you fluff them up.

Works great!

I have mixed feelings about these protectors. I like them enough to own about 10 for my own and other family members' pillows. Pros:-100% cotton with a small micron pore size (very hard to come by with 100% cotton)-Oeko Tex certification for safety-Affordable multipacks and frequent discounts.Cons:-Chemical smell from the packaging is so strong for all but one set that I have bought! I actually returned the first set because I thought there was something wrong due to the smell. Biokleen odor/stain remover is the only thing that has gotten rid of the smell. An enzyme-based laundry detergent might work, but I have not tried one. My process for removing the odor: air pillowcases outside right out of the package with the zippers open; 1st wash - by themselves with detergent and baking soda & hang dry (dryer can set in bad smells); 2nd wash - spray them down with BioKleen odor remover generously (start with spraying on the inside) and let them then hang or lay flat for between 5 minutes to 24 hours, (optional next step: soak in warm water and detergent and remaining Biokleen for 30-90 minutes), wash them on warm with detergent and free and clear Oxyclean powder (2nd wash can be with other items such as sheets). Air dry pillow protectors even if you use the dryer for the other items. Do a sniff test the next day and repeat 2nd wash steps if necessary. Usually they are fine by this point. None of my current protectors smell anymore after this method, so I am convinced the smell is from the packaging. These protectors seem to be tightly stored in vinyl packaging without any air circulation to prevent allergen contamination. With prolonged storage (possibly in hot amazon warehouses), this creates a strong chemical smell. My cleaning method might seem a bit over the top, but I am very sensitive to smells and this method gets rid of all chemical odors.-Zippers are not the best. Many of them are not truly auto locking. I wish there was a metal tab from them to lock into. The stitching for the zippers also is a bit weak. I would recommend sizing up so as not to put any stress on the zippers.-Addressing other reviews: these are thicker and not as silky a regular cotton pillowcase because the cotton fibers have to be tightly woven to keep out allergies. This is a good thing, and I do not notice it under pillowcases. I do not find them to be noisy. They certainly do not crinkle like plastic waterproof protectors sometimes do. Also, do not use fabric softener (other than white vinegar) if you want to use these for allergy protection.

Nice well made cover

Not the first time I have used these. They are good.

100% cotton- perfect
