National Allergy Premium 100% Cotton Zippered Pillow Protector - Queen Size - White - 2 Pack - 300 Thread Count - Hypoallergenic Bed Pillowcase with Zipper - Breathable Encasement Cover

I’ve bought these before in a different size because of my allergies. It also protects the pillow. They are good quality and fit as expected, I recommend them.

It’s nice & soft

The media could not be loaded. These are nice very crisp and cool cotton pillow protectors. They are a little on the bigger side making it very easy to slip my fluffy queen size down feather pillow inside but I would have preferred them to fit a little better. I know they were an in bigger in length and width but I thought they would shrink a bit but they didn't. I washed them in hot water and dried them on medium heat and they came out great but still just a bit too big. Once inside the pillow cases they don't look bad though as you can see in the photo. I do kinda wish I had tried the standard size but I was worried they would be too small.Because they are such a crisp cotton they do make a little noise when you shake them (see video) but once it's on your pillow with a pillow case you don't really notice it. They do seem like they will protect pillows well since they are such a tight crisp cotton. Since my down feather pillows are so expensive and I don't like waterproof protectors on down pillows I usually use 3 protectors on each pillow for extra protection. Two of these together on a pillow seem like they would really help protect my pillows especially with an additional cotton pillow protector under these. I know, I know it seems excessive.....I just like clean pillows. LolOverall these are fantastic pillow protectors that are the perfect thickness and feel very durable and like they'll last a long time. All 3 zippers on the protectors are smooth and feel durable. I don't think they are water resistant so I'm not sure why it asks about that....Reviews are important to me because I rely so heavily on them when making purchases. So I try to leave thorough reviews for other customers. I hope this review was helpful.

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.
