SafeRest Pillow Protector - Pack of 1 - Standard Size Waterproof Pillow Cover - Zippered Pillow Encasement for College Dorm Room, New Home, First Apartment - Cotton Terry, Waterproof, BreathableOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

Inexpensive and seems to do the jobDoes add to the warmth of the pillow, but no more than any other product out there in my experienceI bought this because my GF had been living in a place with Mold Issues. Her Dr told us that we could benefit from adding cases like this to our pillows because it would lock mold out and keep it on the exterior where it could be washed away in a washing machine. Without it, the mold can penetrate into the pillow and live and grow in the pillows fibers or feathers.Sounds like a tall tale, but I believe it now... it only takes having one person close to you go through something like mold poisoning to actually start to get enough education on it to see the reality of it.Anyway, worth the money and the investigation.. these are now on all our pillows and get washed a few times a month.How I rate something:When I review an item, I try to always do so in context of the product and its description. For example, if I bought a vase that said shatter proof, and then drop it on the ground and it shatters, that is bad. But if I purchased a crystal wine glass, and knocked it over on the counter and it broke, I would not say "these glasses are not very sturdy".I believe, when possible, in reviewing items based on what is available in the market. Sometimes the market simply does not have better options. So if the product is the best in its class, I think it deserves 5 stars even if you can "poke holes" in their design or materials. I want to help you pick the best item available COMPARED to all other items that fill the same user requirements.Who I am / Where I work / Why I reviewI am not affiliated with the sale of ANY product(s)I do not take employment from any company I review, in any wayI paid for the product out of pocket and I work a job in a completely unrelated field to items I purchaseI am a serial researcher by hobby (and OCD) and spend a lot of time developing my purchase choicesI recently decided to do what I could to give back to the Amazon community for all the reviews they have done that have helped me with decisions on products I have madeThis review is 100% honest and based on my personal experience with the product

These are great!

Great

After a recent bedbug scare, I invested in the SafeRest Premium Hypoallergenic Zippered Waterproof Pillow Protector. The soft cotton terry surface is comfortable and doesn't make noise when moving, which is a common issue with other protectors. The micro-zipper ensures a secure fit, keeping allergens and potential pests at bay. It's also waterproof, safeguarding against spills and sweat. A minor note: the waterproof layer can retain some heat, but it's a small trade-off for the comprehensive protection it offers. Overall, I'm sleeping easier knowing my pillows are well-protected.

Bought a set (springs, mattress, pillow cover). Standard QUEEN size. Sizing perfect. Note: standard size pillow cover fits my standard size MyPillow like a glove.Install: Yes, 2 people will make easy work of this, but can be done with 1 person willing to take their time and wrangle the springs & mattress around. Note that their marketing demo video shows a young lady with the mattress cover already pre-positioned underneath a 1-piece mattress. So here's a tip for the real world, especially if you're doing this alone:For the standard QUEEN set, stand at the foot of the bed & face the headboard. For our purposes you are now facing NORTH. Unlike the video, you will want to position the closure where you can get at it easily if needed, particularly if you have some special headboard. Make the closed portion of the cover be at the SOUTH end, foot of the bed. AFTER unzipping, and it's flopping around in your hands & you got the foot into the closed portion, start the open zipper at the SOUTHEAST corner of the mattress - it'll be about 14" forward (north toward the headboard) of that corner. Then zip around to the north, past the headboard and back down to close at the SOUTHWEST corner just north of the foot of the bed, also by about 14". Actually takes longer to type than do it.Did not find it noisy, did not find that it sleeps especially warm. Likely the terrycloth top portion of the mattress cover (that you sleep on) mitigates that.Naturally prior to install you "GI'd" the room, cleaning/vacuuming/sealing etc. With that done properly, it's bug-free sleep time. Great product, worth every penny.

Waterproof.

Kind of like a terry towel with a plastic back wrapped around your pillow.
