The Pillow and The Sham
The pillow case is a sort of slip cover for your pillow. Its purpose is to absorb oils and perspiration, and to grant protection for your face while you are asleep. Pillow shams are similar, but they are decorative, and not intended for use while sleeping. You can use it while sleeping, but usually pillow cases are made of less expensive materials, and pillow shams are made from more expensive materials that you might not want to drool on.
