I was reading through the reviews for this pillow case and I see that many people complained about how stiff and rough this pillowcase is.(probably cause of the starch...) When I got this pillowcase, like all other fabric items I get, I WASHED it first. I used detergent and also a bit of softener. And it was fine! My normal ikea comforter set is only 144 thread count so I figured 180 should be relatively around the same.I got this cover to go over my 20" x 54" Pinzon Body Pillow I got from Amazon. The pillow came with a cover but I wanted one to go over it. I like that its a black cover so that the fade will not be obvious in the future. It fits perfectly over my pillow and leaves 2-3 inches of space so that the pillow doesn't get exposed.I love this pillowcase and would love to give it 5 stars, but I took off 1 star because I have a feeling they raised the price. As seen in the photo the original pricing on the package is 9.99 and they just slapped a label on top and called it a day...Did YOUR friend drunkenly buy you a Tom Hiddleston body pillow? Do you never want people to see that in your home but don't have the heart to throw out an expensive gift? Do you secretly enjoy it? Any/all of the above? Well, good news: this pillowcase is here to save you!It's okay for the price. Fit perfectly on a normal-sized body pillow, and I personally didn't find mine to be scratchy at all. I got black, and it's a nice, even color that hasn't rubbed off any dye on my sheets, wall, etc. It's only a few bucks, you get it in a few days, and it's machine washable. Can't go wrong.The case is not as soft as I would have liked, but for the price I feel like I got what I paid for. I have had it for a couple of months now. The material does not really bother me. Other covers started to get little bumps on the fabric after a while - which I hate. This fabric does not have that problem.nice cover for my body pillow. the thread count is a little low , so it feels a bit rough . with several washings it has softened up, so I am happy with it.I wish that it fit my pillow a little better, but that's really on me for not checking the measurements. The fabric feels pretty good, but is not as soft as I like. Other than that, it serves its purpose.The pillow I had gotten it for had mold, no longer have use for it. Otherwise I would have kept it.nice pillow, very comfortable, but a little pricey for the qualityThis pillow is long, I am 6'4" and it is long enough for me to pretend I am cuddling with my wife. It's firm enough to support a leg and an arm.It's a pillow. If you need a long, firm, body pillow... this should do the trickFits the new extra long foam pillow perfectly. It's soft and comfortable. The pillow now belongs to my husband and he has fallen in love with it and likes it so much better with the pillow case on it.I just ordered and received another one so we have an extra on laundry day. Good pillowcase.I bought this pillow case to match my existing dark grey / silver pillows and curtains, but as you will see the actual colour is nothing like the product pictured, in fact it was more off white compared to my silver pillow which is also pictured. I am extremely disappointed and never would have bought this product if i knew the true colour. If you care about the look of the product I would not recommend this item and I will be looking for a replacement.Horrible. I ordered silver and as you can see in the picture it’s white.Also the comfort of this pillow case is awful. The kind of material that everything sticks too. It feels rough.Don’t buy.I have no problem with the pillow case itself, but I must say that the colour shown to me on-line was in NO way the colour that I received. On-line it kind of looked dark grey and what I actually received was more "off white". I was kind of hoping for it to be more of the "silver" colour that the "wording" said it would be?! Anyway, decided to keep it in the end, but not overly impressed with their "description".The material of the pillow was initially very scratchy, but I figured it would soften as I washed it. Instead, it's started pilling very badly and is even more uncomfortable. I wish I could return it.
