Each of the first mating members  24  may comprise a hook and loop fastener or other type of releasable, multiple use fastener. 
     A pouch  26  is provided that has an entry  28  extending into an interior of the pouch  26 . The pouch  26  is insertable into the open end  14  of the pillowcase  12  and the pouch  26  is releasably matable to the pillowcase  12  to inhibit the pouch  26  from travelling in the pillowcase  12 . The pouch  26  has an outer wall  30 , a front side  32 , a first sidelong edge  34  and a second sidelong edge  36 . The entry  28  extends through the front side  32  and the entry  28  extends along a full length of the front side  32 . Additionally, the entry  28  has a first bounding edge  38  and a second bounding edge  40 , and the outer wall  30  has a top side  42 . 
     A pair of second mating members  44  is each coupled to an outer surface  46  of the top side  42  of the outer wall  30  of the pouch  26 . Each of the second mating members  44  is oriented to extend substantially between the first sidelong side  34  and the second sidelong edge  36  of the pouch  26 . The second mating members  44  are spaced apart from each other and each of the second mating members  44  releasably engages a respective one of the first mating members  24 . Moreover, the front side  32  of the pouch  26  is aligned with the open end  14  of the pillowcase  12  such that the entry  28  in the pouch  26  is accessible to a user. 
     A pocket  48  is provided, the pocket  48  is integrated into the pouch  26  and the pocket  48  is positioned within the pouch  26 . The pocket  48  has a first end  50  and a second end  52 , and the pocket  48  is elongated between the first end  50  and the second end  52 . Moreover, the first end  50  is open into an interior of the pocket  48  and the second end  52  is closed. The pocket  48  is positioned on an interior surface  54  of the outer wall  30  of the pouch  26  and the first end  50  is positioned adjacent to the entry  28  in the pouch  26 . Moreover, the pocket  48  is oriented such that a line extending through the first end  50  and the second end  52  is oriented parallel to the first lateral edge  18  of the pillowcase  12  when the pouch  26  is positioned in the pillowcase  12 . 
     A first fastener  56  is coupled to the first bounding edge  38  of the entry  28  in the pouch  26  and the first fastener  56  extends along a full length of the first bounding edge  38 . A second fastener  58  is coupled to the second bounding edge  40  of the entry  28  in the pouch  26  and the second fastener  58  extends along a full length of the second bounding edge  40 . The second fastener  58  is releasably matable to the first fastener  56  for opening and closing the entry  28 . The first fastener  56  and the second fastener  58  may comprise complementary halves of a zipper or other type of releasable, mechanical fastener. 
     A vaporizer  60  is provided and the vaporizer  60  is slidable into the pocket  48  in the pouch  26 . The vaporizer  60  has an output  62  for releasing an inhalable vapor. The vaporizer  60  is insertable into the first end  50  of the pocket  48  having the output  62  being exposed with respect to the first end  50  of the pocket  48  such that the output  62  is accessible to the user. The vaporizer  60  includes a heating element  64  and a fluid cartridge  66 . The heating element  64  heats a fluid  68  contained within the fluid cartridge  66  thereby facilitating the heating element  64  to vaporize the fluid  68  into the inhalable vapor which passes through the output  62 . The vaporizer  60  may comprise an electronic vaporizer of any conventional design and the fluid in the cartridge  66  may comprise a nicotine solution of other solution that is commonly employed in vaporizers for inhalation. Additionally, replacement fluid cartridges for the vaporizer  60 , a charger for the vaporizer  60  and other objects can be stored in the pouch  26 . 
     A hose  70  is provided and the hose  70  is fluidly attachable to the output  62  of the vaporizer  60  such that the hose  70  receives the inhalable vapor from the vaporizer  60 . The hose  70  has a primary end  72  and a secondary end  74 , and the primary end  72  is fluidly attachable to the output  62  of the vaporizer  60  such that the hose  70  is extendable outwardly from the pillowcase  12 . Additionally, the hose  70  is positionable within the pouch  26  for storage. A mouthpiece  76  is fluidly attachable to the hose  70  such that the mouthpiece  76  receives the inhalable vapor from the vaporizer  60 . Thus, the mouthpiece  76  can be placed in the user&#39;s mouth thereby facilitating the user to inhale the inhalable vapor. 
     The mouthpiece  76  has a first portion  78  forming an angle with a second portion  80 , the first portion  78  has a distal end  82  with respect to the second portion  80 , and the second portion  80  has a distal end  84  with respect to the first portion  78 . The first portion  78  has an outer surface  86  and the outer surface  86  has a plurality of ridges  88  each extending outwardly from the outer surface  86 . Each of the ridges  88  extends around a full circumference of the first portion  78 , and the ridges  88  are spaced apart from each other and are distributed along a full length of the first portion  78 . The first portion  78  is insertable into the secondary end  74  of the hose  70  such that the plurality of ridges  88  frictionally engages an inside surface  22  of the hose  70  for retaining the first portion  78  in the hose  70 . The mouthpiece  76  may include a valve that facilitates air to flow outwardly from the second portion  80  but inhibits air from flowing inwardly on the second portion  80 . 
     In use, the vaporizer  60  is inserted into the pouch  26  and the secondary end  74  of the hose  70  is fluidly coupled to the output  62 . The pouch  26  is positioned in the pillowcase  12  such that the first mating members  24  engage the second mating members  44 . In this way the hose  70  can be pulled outwardly from the pillowcase  12  thereby facilitating the user to inhale through the mouthpiece  76 . In this way the user can enjoy inhaling the inhalable vapor while the user is lying in bed. Additionally, the vaporizer  60  can be stored in the pouch  26  instead of storing the vaporizer  60  on a nightstand as is commonly required thereby enhancing convenience for the user. 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
