For years as I traveled I would pack my pillow in trash bags or those clear plastic cases that came as a cover for sheets. But they looked horrible and everyone could see through those plastic covers.My husband and I use a standard-size pillow. I use the My pillow brand and he uses a therapeutic memory foam kind (which he's is slightly longer, not by much than a standard pillow). I wanted to buy a travel bag for them and came across this travel duffle bag. First off, if you are buying it based on the advertisement for a duffle bag, it's definitely not the traditional round kind.Honestly, I was skeptical when I first opened up the package. The material is thin but sturdy. And one of the bags was not sewn properly (So I returned the set). I received the 2nd set quickly. Well to my surprise, my pillow fit perfectly! My husband's pillow needed to be squished a little so that it could zip up properly, but it does fit! The zippers as many have mentioned need to be handled with gentle care. The handles are just about the right length (not too long or too short). Putting them back in the packable stage is not as easy as other packable bags I've purchased. They work well for the purpose I bought them for.Do I love them? No! Do I like them? Yes! Would I buy them again, absolutely for the price! I did also use them use to carry my overnight clothes for a one-day trip. I was able to pack a few items in it and carry them without any worries. If you do travel with your pillows, I do highly recommend buying these to transport them. It's worth the money. And they look way better than stuffing them into a trash bag and carrying them into a hotel.
