Yes, that is correct. I use a "pillow cover" over the ticking, and a
pillow case over that. I manage a hospital guest house, and I use pillow
covers to combat the problem Lobo cited: "that sleeping man smell".
Although I never called it by that name, I often have someone go to bed
with wet hair--or even worse, very dirty hair. So, the pillow cover
gives the pillow a second line of defense, and saves a lot of pillow
washing. I use no down or feather pillows.
I washed a down pillow once, and the ticking developed a leak. It wasn't
the worst mess I have ever seen, but it was a definite surprise!
LOL! We should have had some fun with Miss Priss' question! "What is
ticking?" Oh, no! Check your mouse! I have heard they do that just before
they explode! :-)
