Mainstays Cotton Touch Pillow Protectors, Standard/Queen, Zippered, 2-Pack

Just what I was looking for. It tailor-fits a standard pillow (smoothly without wrinkles), zips down the side without the zipper being uncomuncomfortably felt thru the pillow, it keeps the actual pillow from dust and germs, and is reasonably priced. Note, it is NOT the one with plastic lining that protects the pillow from liquid. Food and liquid can permeate thru your pillow case and this protector and still stain your pillow, but it gives it one more layer of protection at least. Overall a great item!

This is the second time I have boughten the Mainstays Pillow covers. I love them, especially for our feather pillows! I use them under the regular pillowcase , they are easy to wash and put back on with another pillowcase over. Nice way to protect your pillows.

absolutely recommend keep on as a base cover for a pillow. especially if you live with boys who don't understand proper hygiene. that's really helps to keep the pillows from getting gross. they do their own laundry I don't always get everything changed and put back together before they sleep on it again. really helps to cut down on Gross boy-ness in the home

Fabric is kind of rough, but since it is going inside of a pillow case that is ok. It is big enough to fit the crazy new standard/queen pillows. I don't know who decided to make a standard/queen instead of a standard pillow, but the standard/queen pillows no longer fit nicely in most standard pillow cases.

I am disappointed in the misleading marketing for this. “Cotton touch”. “Cotton blend” A person has to dig deep in the online specs to find this is 55% cotton, and it does not tell what else. On the actual packaging it says “55% cotton, 45% polyester”. As someone who likes natural fibers, this is disturbing. Almost half polyester, which is not a breathable fabric and mixed with cotton, does not hold up well. Buyers have a right to know exactly what they are buying before they order. Ticked I made the mistake.

I just put these on two new pillows I got. But first I bought pillow covers that were vinyl or plastic. They were kind of noisy when laying on the pillow. These covers are cloth, so there won't be that problem. They fit a standard pillow. I should have bought this kind from the start.

It is literally a pillowcase with a zipper If you're looking for a pillowcase that doesn't Fall off then I'd definitely recommend But it's definitely not a protector I mean in some ways it is a protector But then a normal pillow case would also be considered a protector I put 3 stars because I actually just used is as a pillowcase which actually works wonderfully and since I move a lot at night having a zipper is very useful But as far as it protecting my pillow from dirt and dust going through the fabric the material definitely didn't live up to that expectations so I would say it's great if you are like me and are looking for a way for your pillow case to stay on at night during those active dreams and such So I definitely recommend it for that But as far as keeping dust and other things away The material is just not suited for that So I definitely do recommend it for certain uses but for the original use I would have to say no Maybe if there was another layer of fabric sewn into it or possibly even some other kind of material It would work ☺️ Yeah Thanks for reading And I wish you good luck on finding something that works for you and your needs! Have a wonderful day and keep being your awesome amazing self S.

For the price and a quick resolution of a need, these worked. However, if there is a pattern on your pillow and you use light solid colored pillowcases, that pattern will most likely show through. It does on mine, and I use nice quality white or ivory. I've purchased these in the past, and they were not as sheer. They lean very much to the queen size instead of standard, but I doubt it will be noticeable once in a pillowcase. Overall, I recommend these based on the price. Personally, if they weren't on the spare bedroom bed, I'd look for better ones.

Don't let the word "cotton," prominently displayed on the front of the package, fool you. It's a marketing ploy. Further, you might think that the item's name, "Mainstays Cotton Touch Pillow Cover Protector," tells you that it's cotton, right? Nope. It's actually "55% Cotton Blend." You can't find that on the package shown on WM's website, although "cotton blend" is in small print at the bottom of the package. You have to click arrows on the site until you find the fabric content, which reveals that it's only partially cotton and doesn't say what the rest of it is. I like zippered, cotton cases for my pillows. This item does not fit the bill. Now, the zipper is wonderful; it is sturdy and hides from sight and feel. The zipper is the best aspect of the pillow case.

I had to modify these to fit my standard pillows. My pillows came with something similar to this on them when I bought them, and inside of it was a sealed pillow of fluff, and it was relying on the zippered case to provide the structure, but because these cases were too big, it wasn't comfortable. I had to remove about 4" from the long side and 2" from the short side to get them to fit right.
