Notes |
"A pillow tick wraps around a pillow's filling, keeping it contained and shaped. All ticks prevent the filling from exiting the pillow, and some are available that prevent moisture, dirt or dust mites from entering the pillow". [http://www.ehow.com/facts_5887633_pillow-tick_.html 3/22/2017] |
