bed linen
Sheets and pillowcases
Bed linen refers to the fabric items used to cover a bed—sheets, pillowcases, and often pillowslips or duvet covers.
The term distinguishes these washable cloth items from the mattress and pillows themselves: We changed the bed linen after the guests left.
Sometimes shortened to just linens, though the items are rarely made of actual linen anymore.
