Abstract

A pillow and pillow cover are provided that are less traumatic to the skin and hairdo of the user by providing an outer covering that slides readily over a non-friction inner cover. When the skin is pressed against the cover and the user turns in sleep, the outer cover moves with the skin instead of rubbing against the skin. The outer cover is constructed to move freely over the inner cover to provide this freedom of movement.
