Concerning the encasement products: My old terry cloth and vinyl pillow
covers have been slowly falling apart (after only ten years!). I picked

regional chain called Emporium). It seems to work and the thin plastic
coating is more comfortable than the heavy vinyl. Maybe the mass
merchandisers have discovered this niche.
