Hello, I know a lot of us use V pillows. Mine are feather so a bit bulky. Every time I wash the cover its a battle royal to get the blooming thing back on. A nice lady on e bay (I can't give you the link as it will be removed ~ but if you type in the search box you should find her) is making 'easy fitting covers'. I had a chat with her on the pc and she is making mine a couple of cm's wider. I hope it helps someone, I've often thought I can't be the only one experiencing this - anything to make life easier.
Hope you have a lovely weekend.

    Thank you mouseymousey, that is worth knowing. I must admit that I usually drape a bath towel over mine as cover-wrestling is not fun! DD

    That is worth knowing, mouseymousey, although I don't use them myself and do use Mr SW for the purpose of getting pillow cases on :oops: You could always suggest that anyone who wants the lady's details should PM you. I think that would be an OK way round things.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Thanks for the tip....thats a big help.
    When I first got mine it came when I was in hospital having my THR. I got it in great detail from hubby about how hard it was to put the cover on :lol::lol: I tend to put something over mine {dont use it a lot} but thats a good idea ...thanks for that

    Love

    Didn't know you could get feather ones? Could you PM me where you got it? Other ones go lumpy from overuse and that causes fights when trying to get pillow case back on lol x
