I love the fabric - so soft and smooth. Hard to believe it can control dust mites. But it does a great job! I have purchased all of their mattress and box spring protectors. This pillow protector was another great purchase.

We have a 4 year old classic Casper mattress and this replaced an old cheap mattress protector that looks like interfacing. I couldn't decide between the 9" or the 12" and decided to size up, and I'm very glad I did. I washed and dried according to the instructions before putting it on the mattress. It fits very well with little extra fabric. The sheets and mattress pad also seem fit better, and don't shift around as much.
TIP: For foam mattresses, I recommend enlisting a friend/partner/child to help "roll out" the extra air inside before zipping it up to prevent "ballooning".

I actually have this on my 13" mattress, then a topper over that. The topper has its own cover, and then my bottom bed sheet goes over everything. I've heard good things about this company, so I purchased the encasing. I'm certain it's a good product. I'm not sleeping directly on it, so I can't tell you anything more.

I was instructed to seal my mattress by my allergist, and after browsing around, settled on this item. This has a very nice, fabric-like texture to it and feels like really good quality- was quite surprised as I had no idea what to expect - was probably expecting something plastic-like. Very expensive, but definitely worth the money to avoid the "hot" or "plasticy" feeling that I've read other hypoallergenic cases have. Have had no trouble sleeping on top of it - and I am a sensitive finicky delicate sleep-princess that can feel a pea through 20 mattresses! The texture is almost like sateen - and this actually made it pretty easy for me to slip onto my queen-sized mattress all by myself. It's not slippery at all either. I haven't been using it long enough to see if it has an effect on my allergies so I may return later to comment on this. It's nice to know that it should do a good job of sealing in mites and dust.

I will note that it had a fair amount of static electricity/cling when I took it out of the dryer (washed it in hot water as soon as it came in) but once I put it on the bed and put a top sheet over it, this wasn't an issue at all.

I also purchased the standard size pillow covers by this very same company for the actual pillows that I sleep directly on - and less expensive cases by a different brand for the pillows underneath. Going back, I would have purchased the pricy Mission Allergy pillow cases for every single one of my pillows, because I did notice the other brand, while it also didn't feel plasticky, definitely felt warmer!
