Here is the revised continuous text:
The two sets of cushion covers from ATsense are made from high-quality, washed cotton material. The linen look of the cushion covers with their natural creases gives them a vintage charm and a stylish touch. One advantage of the material is its durability and tear resistance, while the feel remains soft and pleasant. The cushion covers are also Oeko-Tex certified, which further emphasises the quality and safety of the product. Unfortunately, one disadvantage is the not particularly appealing plastic packaging of the cushion covers, but nowadays there are plenty of more sustainable alternatives.
Advantages
- Linen look
- OEKO-TEX certified
- Versatile in use
Disadvantages

The first impression
Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

For our test, the product arrived in a white foil envelope, which was completely intact and could be opened easily with the help of scissors. Inside the envelope were the two pillowcases in a plastic zip bag. The logo was printed on the front, while on the back there were warnings and instructions for recycling this plastic zip bag. Unfortunately, we felt that the product packaging was not very aesthetically pleasing and not of particularly high quality. Inside the packaging were the two cushion covers in white colour, which were in perfect condition and made a very positive first impression. No defects were found on the product. A small and attractively designed instruction manual in German was also included.

The visual appearance of the cushion covers has a high-quality, minimalist look with a pleated linen look, which gives them a very elegant appearance. The workmanship is also remarkable: the seams and zips are very well finished, without any sewing faults. In terms of stability, the cushion covers are very sturdy and tear-resistant, which emphasises their durability. There is no specific information on the sustainability of the product, but it is pointed out that high-quality materials are used that have been awarded Oeko-Tex certification.

The seam strength of the ATsense cushion covers proved to be excellent, as they showed no visible damage or loose threads even under maximum load. The functionality of the zips was also consistently positive: the zip was easy to operate in all functions. In terms of dimensional stability, the cover only showed minimal changes after being subjected to pressure, which could be easily remedied by simply brushing it by hand. After washing, there were only minimal creases, which speaks in favour of easy care. The material also proved to be odourless, as no perceptible smell could be detected after unpacking.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars (as of 21/01/2025). In some cases, the fabric is criticised for being too thin . On the other hand, the elegant design and beautiful colours as well as the high tear resistance are positively highlighted. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the elegant design of the pillowcases is well received by customers. However, consumer criticism of the thin fabric of the cushion covers was not justified.
Prices of up to €17.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available for as little as €9.99 . The set of two cushion covers from ATsense® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €10.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
