How it's used
This term is specifically used for the fabric cover that encases a duvet or quilt. It is distinct from a bed sheet, which is referred to as 床單. People often use the verb 換 to describe the process of putting on or taking off the cover.

Common mistake
Learners sometimes confuse this with 床單, which is a flat sheet placed directly on the mattress. Remember that 被袋 is strictly for the item that wraps around the duvet insert.
