IWTYO when I realized some pillows already come in a pillow case
For 37 years I've been putting new pillows still in their pillow cases inside of older pillow cases that I had left over.
All of my previous pillow cases were never the kind with zippers, they were just the sheet like material with an opening. So when I got new pillows and noticed there were zippers on them, I always just assumed that was just to get to the pillow "stuffing" or whatever.
