This 2-piece pillow protector set keeps your favorite bedding fresh and shielded from everyday dust mites and household allergens.

It seamlessly integrates under standard cases to help extend the life of your pillows across main bedrooms and guest spaces. Plus, the machine-washable design allows for quick, easy refreshes in hot water.

Pillow protector appears to be very well made. UPDATE: Washed for 1st time and found stitching on one case completely undone leaving a 3 inch hole that needs to be repaired. Seems completely airtight moisture resistant. Instructions stated to be sure pillow and protector are completely dry before zipper closed. This will prevent possibility of mold growth. Haven’t washed yet but it appears sturdy enough to resist the hot water washing that is recommended. Switched from cotton cover to this moisture resistant one so I expected it to be a little different. Very pleased so far. See UPDATE ABOVE. Edward. CA. Tue Jun 16 2026
