Very durable, thick material, great quality....

These were made so much better than we expected. Very durable. Between us, our kids, our grandkids, our dog and other family members who come to visit, we needed something a little more durable than the average pillow covers. In this house, we literally use everything we buy....there is no such thing as just buying for ""decoration"". So we needed very durable, tough, well made pillow covers so that they would last for many years. I am so very happy to say that these are definitely durable. Before using them, I hand washed them with regular laundry soap, rinsed them well and hung them with pant hangers in the bathtub so that they could drip dry. No bleeding of colors.
