Makemake Organics Organic Cotton Pillow Protector (Set of 2) GOTS Certified Organic Pillow Cases Zippered Breathable Barrier Fits Standard (20x26, Pearl White)

I ordered 4 brands of organic king pillow protectors (pillow cases numbered #1-4 in description below correspond LEFT to RIGHT in my photo).#1. Gotcha Covered was definitely heavy duty with inner waterproof liner similar to a thin vinyl table cloth (appears shinier than the outer fabric in photo). This brand probably overkill for my purposes of to prevent slow discoloration of the pillows). Smelly at first, but improved significantly after leaving opened but not completely gone after 3 days sitting out. Envelope enclosure appears to be deep enough to keep the pillow inside. 2/$53#2. Allergy Store 2/$23 kings seemed good for an allergenic barrier. Tight woven, but a little noisy, rustling when handling the pillowcase, but not as bad on a pillow. Delicate looking zipper is on the end of a sleeping surface of the pillow instead of the end, but is tucked away under a fabric seam. Zipper but tight and would probably work well to prevent allergens.#3. MakeMake Organics 2/$42 is probably my favorite quality, smooth almost sateen-like fabric. Unfortunately, I accidentally ordered the black piping around the outside which i didn't want but it was pretty sharp looking. The fabric is quiet, the lengthwise zipper seems well built and nicely tucked into the seam so it shouldn't be a bother to sleep on.#4. Whisper Organics is a tie for first with MakeMake (#3 above). Also great quality smooth almost sateen-like fabric. It is an envelope enclosure which is not my favorite type, but the depth of the envelope fold is obviously well planned as seen with in the photo (a quarter placed on the seam for scale). I like that it's off-white so it will hide the slow staining of pillows over a longer period of time maybe? Price 2/$20.99 was better than the other 3 brands, more expensive than cheaper non-organics but worth it to have and support organic products.~KATiE'D

EXACTLY what I was looking for! Organic pillows and cases need organic protectors! These are TOP QUALITY and BEAUTIFUL!! How often have you thought of a pillow protector as beautiful? This one is! 100% The stitching is perfect, the cording is an added beautiful design detail. Very well constructed and so soft and luxurious. I can’t believe I’m writing all of these things about a pillow cover, but it’s true. I was super impressed as soon as I opened the package! Having ordered TWO, I checked to see that both were same exact size. Then I washed and dried ONE according to instructions. I remeasured and both were still same size. They were even wrapped very nicely with a note! Above and beyond- these people really care! Lastly, I was so impressed with the ZIPPER!! At first I couldn’t even find it because it is so well crafted! Honestly, you could use these without a pillowcase over- they’re THAT pretty! I will ONLY order & use the protectors from now on! I can’t go back to the basic blah ones LOL

So I really debated reviewing this item because the people there at MMO are super nice and helpful and their products are top notch, but I'm rather thrifty and 30+ dollars for a pillow case just makes me cringe. Even now I cringe. I didn't even need 2 pillow cases, but that's how they come and I guess at some point I'll find a use for it.I'm not sure how others are using these, but I found the perfect make-a-pillow case. The first standard sized pillow cases I bought to give a Pine tales latex stix pillow a real pillow protector (instead of what comes with it) and then put a pillow case over that. The MMO pillow protector was the perfect size which I was concerned about before I got it since the pillow is a weird 21 x 26" instead of 20 x26". So I actually used the product the way it was designed to be used.But I'd be surprised if people weren't using these zippered pillow protectors to make their own pillows. I did just that with my MMO toddler pillow protector. Long story short I got the wrong sized silk pillowcase and had to make a pillow that would fit it. These cases make awesome pillows and they are sturdy enough fabric that I'm not concerned about it busting open. That's all I have to say .

Amazing! From the design, the material, to the packaging - everything is top notch. I didn't know what 'breathable' meant till I used these. They seemed a little large when I first took them out but after a little research I learned that they would shrink to size after the first wash and that's exactly what happened. I'm all about attention to detail and these guys nailed it. I wanted to take the pillow case off to put them in the wash and it literally took me 45 seconds to find the zip - that's how well it's concealed. The piping on the edges adds an extra touch of luxury. My wife loves these too so we will definitely be getting more. Just go ahead and order these, you won't regret it.

I only washed these one time on gentle cycle and I put them back on my pillows and both zippers came right off! I think they forgot to put a stopper on the zipper track in order to stop the zipper from falling off. It really is disappointing, as I paid $39.99X2 for these.

Reading about stuffy noses upon awakening was what got me interested in buying these pillow protectors. They say the tiny, tiny dust mites (which are EVERYWHERE no matter how well you vacuum and clean) leave behind all kinds of unpleasantness (poo and stuff, yuck!) and this can lead to nasal congestion while you sleep. Well I guess it is true because I woke up this morning with no sniffling. No stuffy nose. I am amazed. I read about these in a health article but never thought they would have so much effect. They pack the pillow cases in a very nice little cotton bag - which I thought "what am I going to do with THAT?" as you hate to throw it way - but I am using it for my physical therapy pulley (torn rotator cuff) and it keeps the cats from trying to get to the rope all the time!

Very good quality material!!
