How it's used
Refers specifically to the protective cover that goes over a duvet or quilt, rather than a flat sheet used to lie on. It is common to use this term interchangeably with 被袋 in daily speech. Unlike flat sheets, these are designed with openings or fasteners to enclose the bedding.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 床單, which is the flat sheet placed directly on the mattress. Using the wrong term can lead to confusion when buying bedding or doing laundry.
