Premium Hypoallergenic Bed Bug Proof Zippered Water

Already sleep with it for few weeks. It is very effective in protecting dustmite. It will not have a balloon feel. I like it very much.

Keeps your pillow dry and comfortable. Perfect.

I've owned these pillow cases for 6 years now and have even bought them for the guest room and as a gift. I mainly bought these because lets face it, we occasionally sweat at night, or get sick and sweat some more and I was tired of my pillows turning yellow-ish over time. I like knowing that in the event I get sick, or happen to sweat, my pillow is well protected and I can quickly throw it in the wash. I've owned the mattress cover as well for this same duration with a new mattress and it has done a fantastic job of protecting it as well.One minor drawback I feel is the micro-zipper. Now, this may be on my older version and this has changed over the years but I always worry every time I wash my cover that it will snag on the excess threads or material as I'm closing it back up. The other thing I've noticed is if the zipper is completely closed, it locks in air really well and it's takes a little bit for it to "deflate". To remedy this, I leave the zipper open about 1" from the end so my memory foam pillows can bounce back to their normal shape.

Plastic pillow case is hot, and the zipper lasted about 6 months before it ripped and I couldn't use it anymore

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
