pillowcases

Bedding fabric sleeves

Pillowcases are fabric covers that slip over pillows to protect them and provide a comfortable sleeping surface.

They come in standard sizes to match pillow dimensions and are typically changed and washed with bed linens: I need to buy new pillowcases to match the sheets.
