There's a reason why the bedding section in the department store is so large: there are dozens of different types of pillows, sheets, and bed coverings. Not only are there different types of items, but they come in all different colors, prints, and sizes. It can be a bit confusing learning all of these different terms, but knowing the definitions will help you when you are shopping and need to find the right item for your bed.

A pillowcase is used to cover a sleeping pillow and sometimes a decorative or bolster pillow. It’s normally a rectangular shape with an opening on one end where you insert the pillow. It is recommended that you change your pillowcase at least twice per week to protect your facial skin from breakouts or skin irritation.
Cotton towels are a popular choice because they are soft, absorbent, and resistant to frequent washing. Cotton towels give a luxurious feel and are often favored by guests for their comfort.
Hand towels are smaller in size and are mainly used to dry your hands after taking a shower. Hand towels are often placed near bathroom and kitchen sinks for easy access. Hand towels are available in a variety of materials, including cotton, bamboo, and microfiber. Hand towels are designed to be soft and gentle while effectively absorbing moisture.
