Odds are good that anyone living in the Los Angeles area knows what a pillow case is. Throughout our entire lives, pillow cases are used for a wide variety of things. They act as excellent sacks to hold Halloween candy when you go trick or treating. When you were little, they protected your favorite stuffed animal from damage by the rotator in the washing machine as your stuffed animal received a 'bath'. A tennis shoe stuffed in a pillow case is a great way to fluff up a thick jacket or comforter when they are in the dryer, too! For the most part, many people in the Los Angeles area take the simple yet effective pillow cases for granted. They are the workhorse of the linen world, called to many different duties yet underappreciated for all that they do.
Pillow cases are not only functional. They are also fashionable, too. Any time spent perusing the aisles of your favorite Los Angeles area linen store will quickly have even the worst skeptic realizing how far pillow cases have come in terms of fashion in recent years. For every different style, fabric, and pattern available in comfort and sheets, there's a pillow case or two to match it.
Remember when pillow cases only came in one standard size? That's not the (pillow) case anymore! You can certainly find the standard sized pillow case, perfect for the many regular pillows in the world. You can also find queen and king sized pillow cases created just for the longer pillows that most prefer on their larger, queen and king sized beds. Even body pillows have full length pillow cases available for being slipped inside.
In spite of the many different functions and fashions pillow cases can be known to have, pillow cases really do their original job the best. That is, they work best when they are protecting your pillow from dirt and damage. After all, it's easier to wash a pillow case than to attempt to wash a pillow. The next time you're out shopping for linens in Los Angeles, give a salute to the unsung linen hero: the pillow case.
