100% Cotton Pillow Shell Replacement, Empty DIY Pillow Casing for Custom Filling, Sew to Close Design, No Zipper, 250 Thread Count, Solid White, Standard 20x26

I'm not sure why or how, but my old pillow ripped, spilling out all the feathers. And right before I was going to throw it away it occurred to me to buy a pillow shell and re-use the down feathers. But come to find out, there aren't many pillow shells with no filling on the market, online anyway. So I was happy to find this. The product was delivered quickly and was perfect for my needs. There is an opening on the side where you put your feathers or stuffing in, and FYI, it's not a zip closing. You have to sew it closed, which I was not expecting. But it was not a problem, I sewed it closed within minutes. The shell is of good sturdy quality, better than I expected in fact. The pillow shell is soft and there are no feathers poking through. I like this so much that I think I'm going to make my own pillows from now on instead of buying them. This way I can use as much down filling as I need to customize it to exactly what I want. This was a great find and a great buy. Thanks

More than forty years ago, I made three down comforters using down from new pillows that I purchased. Unfortunately, the cotton pillow ticking that was advertised to be downproof is NOT downproof. Because I no longer use or need down comforters, I'm converting the down from the comforters back into pillows. If I could have located downproof pillow ticking fabric to sew my own cotton pillow shells, I would have sewn my own. Because I could not locate downproof pillow ticking fabric at a reasonable price, I have purchased several of these three pillow shells with the different thread counts. I've washed each pillow shell in my washing machine, and each pillow shell laundered beautifully. I do not know which thread count that I prefer because I have not filled them with down. I'm still working on the project! Some people have complained that the pillow shells do not have a zipper. I would not have wanted a zipper because the down could easily escape through the zipper's teeth. It will not be a problem to easily and effortlessly close the entrance hole using my sewing machine. I asked several questions about their cotton pillow shells on the Amazon website, but I received no answer. Therefore, I sent the manufacturer an e-mail and received the following prompt response: They are all Down proof and washable. Regarding the Tread count, really depends with filling you will be filling them. If you fill them with feathers then use the 233 TC and if you will use 100% down then use the 300 or 400 TC. I have been sewing more than 65 years, and I highly recommend all three high-quality, empty pillow shells!

4 stars because the first order was never received so I got a refund and tried again. The hard part is figuring out how much down to stuff inside till you have it right. Can be very messy if you're not careful. I got a pretty large box and duct taped the bottom to seal it and then stood three sides of the top straight up and duct taped them to stay up. That left one side for me to fold down so I could reach down to the bag of feathers and the pillow in the box. Working that way controlled the feather flying mess even more than I expected. I did several pillows so I got pretty good at getting the amount of fill I wanted.

Excellent fabric, finishings. Worth the shipping wait from a company that produces superior quality in USA. Very happy to give my down feathers another round in these pillow cases.

Very comfortable. Well made. You will need a sewing machine to close it up. I spread out a shower curtain to work on and wore a face mask.

Exactly what I needed to extend the life of down pillow with worn ticking

Decent quality and size, but I was really expecting a zipper. One of the most useful parts about stuffing your own pillows is the ability to adjust the firmness as needed or over time. Having to sew these shut removes that benefit.

Good quality and down proof. The price seems to keep increasing for these and now over $30 for one. Unless below $20, or you're in a rush, I recommend making your own with ticking.

So pleased that someone had the bright idea to sell theses. Lovely soft material, easy to sew when full. I did wash it first all was fine. Filling was a bit messy but, I expected that, being a novice. All in all, I now have a quiet, peaceful sleep as I had to replace a much stiffer covering.
