Is this any different than a pillowcase? My mother always used a pillowcase and now I use a zippered pillow cover. Is this same idea?

Essentially, yes, it is the same idea. However, the large bag is bigger than a normal pillowcase and the zipper and fabric of the bag seem to be more durable than a pillowcase. I use this all the time and I have found it is especially handy when I wash delicate handmade blankets.

Similar probably. I think the zipper on this is more durable and less likely to rust. The capacity of this bag is very large,more than one animal can be washed. It would have been nice to have this with all the kids.

It's bigger and tougher, and the zipper is chunkier and probably more durable. I still just use a pillow case for the really small ones but this does come in handy for the oversized. p.s. I will say also i feel safer washing a really cruddy one on warm in this than i would in a pillowcase.

IDK. I made my own. Turn pillowcase inside out. Stitch two sides. Voila. A smaller pillow case. I did the same with the zippered allergen-free cover. Walmart purchase. Then tailored it to fit. Cute little pillow cases for cheap.

This is to be used UNDER another pillow case. I suppose you COULD use it as a pillow case, but it has a zipper and given the expense you would probably want to use another case over so you don't have to wash it as often...?

It's a regular standard sized pillowcase. I use a small travel pillow for my 2 year old and haven't used the regular pillowcase yet with the set since it seems too large for her.

I used the regular king size pillow case before I bought this cover. But I love this cover. And actually I even put my regular pillow cases over the quilted one.

You can use any pillow case, but I would not buy the pillow at all. It is very hard!!! I did everything I was instructed to do to soften it up, but nothing worked. It is an absolute waste of your money.

I actually purchased a regular body pillow case on amazon that has a double zipper, Newpoint International Inc. Microsuede Body Pillow Cover With Double Sided Zippers. It is snug, but with the zippers at both ends you can unzip them both, pull the pillow through and it works very well for me. I found it helpful to start it over the end of the pillow, pull it up a little, then scrunch the rest of the case on the one end and while my husband held the pillow I streched the case over the length of the pillow. I was worried about having the zipper in my face, but it isn't as bad as I thought, they don't really stick out like you would expect.

I'm not sure that you are supposed to wash the pillow. I have been unzipping the cover and washing that as well as an additional pillow case that I've been using. My husband did just wash it two days ago by accident and it seems a little lumpy and smaller. I'm hoping it goes back to normal after my son sleeps on in for a few more days.

Yes, this is just the pillowcase and NOT a pillow. I like it so much, I am going to buy the tan one too! I have the white one. I haven't washed it yet. But I think after you launder it, you will need to iron it.

I haven't looked for extra pillowcases for mine. I do know you can buy them....a friend was bedridden and had several pillowcases for his. Sorry I don't know where he got them.

I use that as a pillow cover. I put another pillow cover over that one and then a pillowcase.

Hi! Using a pillowcase is completely up to you. It would not interfere with the Memory Foam or the pillow design. Thank you, TheHomeLiquidator

I use pillow covers on all my pillows, including the water pillow. It's the same size as my regular/standard pillows and I use the pillowcase that matches my sheets. No difference, other than the water pillow is way heavier than the others. It all fits and looks fine. No obvious outstanding characteristics.

I put a pillowcase on mine and it seems to work just as well with it on. Now if you have a flannel sheet set or something like it, then I'm not sure that would work nearly as well, or at all. But using plain 800TC sheets, it still works.

It's been a while since I returned it but from from what I remember it's close to like what you described. I know for sure their is a separate memory foam piece Then what I can't remember is if their is either a regular pillow it's tucked inside or if it's laying right next too it? After that it's all in a zippered piece of like duvet. And then it comes with its own pillow case. Hope that helps?

I use a normal pillowcase but put the pillow in sideways down to the end. Then I fold the empty half of the pillowcase and tuck it inside itself on one side of the pillow. This keeps the case and pillow in nice shape and no extra expense of special pillow cases.

By squeezing the pillow into it. The feather pillow that I have now is not "overstuffed." There is a lot of room in it for the feathers to move around and away from your head when you are trying to sleep. The pillowcase does not just slip onto a regular size pillow as a standard/queen pillowcase does, the pillow needs to be pushed into it. That is also why I use both at once, one on either end, so both ends are covered. Doing this compresses the feathers inside the pillow, and basically allows me to make my own overstuffed pillow that provides a thicker sleeping base.
