Not quite as soft or silent as advertised

I had some other cheaper water proof covers for my grandparents bed and wanted one for my own now, but wanted something more soft/silent than protective. The top of this is kind of a scruffy terry cloth and its almost as noisy as waterproof pvc covers. Its also a huge pain to put on- for some stupid reason the zipper starts partway down a long side, instead of being able to open one short end like a pillow case and slide it up, so you have to open two sides and still fight the starting corner thats still zipped. Much more difficult to put on this full size one than other king size ones that open all the way on a short end, a two person job if you can't pick up the whole mattress. Its strong and well made, but not what I was hoping for in quiet/softness and definitely would not use in a scenario that needs to be changed frequently.
