Ensure the buttons are properly aligned with the buttonholes. If they feel stiff, gently work them back and forth. Avoid forcing them to prevent damage.
Pillowcase does not fit pillow snugly.
Verify you are using the correct size pillowcase for your pillow. If the pillow is slightly smaller, you can add a pillow protector or fold a thin towel inside to create a snugger fit.
