Mesorat%20hashas for Mikvaot 10:2

הַכַּר וְהַכֶּסֶת שֶׁל עוֹר, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ צְרִיכִין שֶׁיָּבֹאוּ בָהֶם הַמָּיִם. כֶּסֶת עֲגֻלָּה, וְהַכַּדּוּר, וְהָאֵמוּם, וְהַקָּמֵעַ, וְהַתְּפִלָּה, אֵינָן צְרִיכִין שֶׁיָּבֹאוּ בָהֶם הַמָּיִם. זֶה הַכְּלָל, כֹּל שֶׁאֵין דַּרְכּוֹ לְהַכְנִיס וּלְהוֹצִיא, טוֹבְלִים סְתוּמִים:

A leather pillow or cushion require [if one is immersing them to be purified] that the water enter into them. A round cushion, or a [leather] ball, or a shoemakers last, or an amulet or a <i>tefillah</i> [singular of <i>tefillin</i>] do not require that the water enter into them. This is the general rule: anything into which things are not normally inserted and removed may be immersed while sealed [and does not require that the water enter into it].
