agree  BelkisDV: Yo diría funda externa y pondría "sham" entre paréntesis. Al menos en los E.U. los shams son forros exteriores para las almohadas que combinan con el cubre camas o edredón y tienen un volante alrededor.

cubre almohada o protector de almohada


Explanation:
En este caso no es funda para almohada. Más bien se trata de un cubre almohada decorativo que combina con el edredón y los cojines que se colocan sobre la cama ya tendida.
