"I have to agree with most of the other reviews, including the one concerned about the length of the slips.
The trouble is that some of Northern Nights pillows are short enough and some are too long for these pillow protectors. It seems to be just your luck which pillows you have. I have all different sized Northern Nights pillows. I like these protectors enough to find the right sized pillows from my collection so that I can use them. I have even got Northern Nights pillows which just wallow around inside these pillow protectors because the pillows are so small (down only filling).
It would be nice to have consistency in the sizing.
I am about to send for another set of these protectors, despite the problems.
I would not reckon these to be gift material - they are too practical. (This is in answer to the undernoted question - would I recommend the protectors as a gift. - Yes/No did not fit the bill)"
