What is a pillowcase?
A pillow case is a piece of clothing used to cover the pillow and which can be removed and washed. A pillow can serve as a breeding ground for bacteria and microorganisms that can lead to infections and other health issues.

You can use a pillow without a pillowcase, but a pillowcase is required if you want to highlight the hygiene element as it can keep your pillow stay clean and protected.
