It’s common to conclude that pillow cases and pillow shams are the same products. They both cover your pillow for protection and add style to your bed. Similar in look, but different in design, one should be used to prevent your pillow from staining, the other for decorative purposes only. The case is a protective cover, the sham a statement of style. So, if you’re someone who gets confused by these two closely-related terms, read on!
Pillowcases are typically open at one end and come in various materials like cotton, hemp, linen, polyester, satin, and silk, providing a soft and cozy surface for sleeping. They serve a functional purpose by protecting your pillow.
Pillow shams typically include complex patterns or embroidery designs on the face of the pillow, as well as flanges along the border, in order to make the pillow stand out and look aesthetically pleasing. Most of the time, you can find such decorative pillow covers in places like hotels or showrooms, where the goal is to give off a sense of luxury while also being pleasing to the eye.
