Review on Mediflow Thread Count Quilted Pillow by Marvin Nadeau

We bought these pillowcases for our newly purchased water pillows (which we both love!) and are very pleased. I took them out of the box and was very impressed with how soft they are! Very nice and matching embroidery. My only concerns - and the reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 stars - are: 1) that they are hand wash only (I try not to buy anything if it can't be in my washer and dryer) and I put it on I don't remember seeing it in the description, 2) I wish the zip key was either not that big or could be easily hidden as I can feel it through the pillowcase, and 3) I would that the quilting is on both sides, so we don't feel the cork of the water pillow as much as we do. But I would probably buy them again. UPDATE 3/10/12: I confess I didn't think to look at the care instructions when I threw them in the wash today and then I read what I wrote while going through my reviews. LAUGH OUT LOUD! We have an HE washer dryer that is almost a year old. I washed them on delicate and lukewarm with my Premier Softspun sheets (these wash settings are listed on the sheets) and tumble dried them together on a low setting and they turned out great! But I still wish the zipper could be hidden because sometimes it bugs me at night when I accidentally grab that corner of the pillow.
