I was thinking of using this between the mattress and headboard to prevent my pillow from falling between them. Would it work for that? Does this come with a cover? If not, what are people using to cover it? I can tell by the picture that I'd like something over it that can be easily removed and washed.

I just got mine today and am using them for that very reason. They fit great between my mattress and headboard. I can fit them different ways depending if I want a flat surface or a slight wedge. They fit in a regular pillow case and I just wrapped the excess material around or you can let it hang behind, no one will see.

It's pretty wide. It might work for that, but I'd measure first. How big of a gap do you have to fill? As for a cover, it doesn't come with one. I place it on the matress under the fitted sheet. Since it likely won't fit under a sheet extended off the end of a matress, I'd just use a regular pillow case or something and safety pin to fit. Would a swimming pool noodle work too? That's a much less expensive solution.

It doesn't come with a cover. I use thee to keep my son from rolling out of bed so they are under a mattress pad and sheet.

It would work well for that, and it does not come with a cover. It would be simple to make one though. Just take a normal sized pillow case, turn it inside out, and cut it in half (the long way). Sew each seam on the cut edge to make two long narrow pillow cases. These would easily fit over the two foam wedges.

I have had it for a couple of months now. I am not using a mattress pad over the encasement. Unfortunately, when it needs to be cleaned, I think it will be a lot of work. Most mattress pads only cover the top. Because this one covers the whole mattress, it's a lot more work to remove and replace it once it's clean. I am not using the waterproof aspect of the encasement. I am using it because something was making me itch. Not bed bugs... Something else.. I have no idea. You can't see them and there are no bites, just itch. This pad has eliminated the problem.. Thank heaven. :)

It needs something behind it to be effective. That being said, it works well then. I'm using it right now, and I have it turned upside down! It depends how I am sitting or laying down how I use it. The fact that it is not flat, like a pillow for instance, means that it can be put in lots of different positions.I like its small size and flexibility. I generally use my own thinking to make things be the way I want them to!

Not a fitted one. The product is designed to rest between the mattress and the fitted sheet. The fitted sheet you use should bee deep enough to accommodate the foam wedge as well as the mattress. Additionally, putting a pillowcase on it will reduce the grippiness and traction needed to hold the wedge in place. All that said, you can put a king-size pillowcase on it and a rubber band on the open end to close it. It may not look pretty but it might accomplish what you're looking to do.

Hi! It goes on top on top of the your regular mattress and it has a cool cover. All of it goes under your bed sheets. You can make it work with deep pocket sheets. I have deep pocket ones and some regular ones and both work just fine. Sometimes you have to stretch it but the regular sheets work and stay in place as well. I love it!

I put the bed bridge between two twin mattresses & under king-size mattress pads without any straps! It stays is place and I can't feel the gap at all, so it should work for you under your mattress. It really does seem to bridge that gap eventhough it's soft & flexible. It was the best small investment I've made recently, so I hope this info helps you.

If this cover is on the pillow, the pillow will be protected. Obviously if you submerge the pillow in water for a long period of time, water may eventually damage the pillow. If you spill something, splash the pillow, etc., then the pillow protector does its job.

Yes, they help. They're hard to pull a pillowcase over because of the fabric they're made of - it's like terry cloth (towel material). So I recommend getting pillowcases that are a bit larger than the ones designated for your pillow (e.g. if you have standard size pillows, use standard pillow covers and queen size pillowcases). That will make it easier to pull them over the pillowcase covers. Another option is to get pillow covers made of a slippery material. I have some of those, too, and they work very well - got them at REI.

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

Yes. It will cover it. I have one on a queen size bed in my guest room right now. Having said that, it will not hang all the way down the sides of the bed, but it will hang down to about the bottom of your mattress (depending on the mattress thickness). It will be very long in one direction. I put that part at the head of the bed where the pillows are and then fold it down. It is great for covering beds that pets like to go on!! When it arrives it will smell strange, but just wash and dry it (it comes out of the dryer just fine) and all of the odor will be gone.

The protector is not designed to be slept on so you would still need a sheet between you and the protector. The protector uses a breathable technology that works great with any type of mattress including memory foam. Hope this helps.

same as the 2 other answers. haven't tried to get the cover off, but I wrap it a left over sheet. I do use a down pillow with it for neck support.

I just use a regular pillow case and wrap the excess material around. Works for me since I use these as wedges between the headboard and mattress.

I was at my local Bed, Bath, Beyond just today inquiring about this issue. They only carried covers for a much smaller cervical pillow, which didn't have much firmness. I agree that having pillow covers you can wash separately is a must-have if you are going to purchase this pillow. What do the manufacturers say?

I took it off and use regular fitted sheets with a nice thread count. Mine didn't slide off too badly, but I still replaced it with regular sheets because they are easy to wash, and microfiber, which is what the cover is made of, collects too much dust. It's a great bed otherwise!

My mother made a pillow cover for this pillow, and it works very well. If you have a sewing machine, you can easily make this item. However, if you don't or can't sew, the cover it comes with is very nice, and with a little use, it will become soft and nice to the touch. The problem comes, however, when it needs to be washed. That is where a pillow case is just the best answer. I think if you searched the internet, you may find a cover there. Almost anything is available online if you spend time looking for it. But, the best answer--if you can't purchase one is to make one, or ask a friend who sews to make one for you. My mother made a pillow cover for this pillow, and it works very well.

I had the same question... it seems like it's a protective cover that should be removed or something, and rather than forming to the body at all, it makes them just slip around. Does anyone have suggestions on HOW to use these? They seem to move around a lot. Do you have to use tape or glue?
