What is a pillow sham? Is it different from a pillowcase?
A pillow sham is a decorative cover for a pillow — open in the back (envelope or button closure) so the pillow slides in and out, and finished on the front with stitching, piping, or quilting. A pillowcase is the everyday case you actually sleep on — closed on three sides with an open end. Shams cover the pillows you arrange on top of the bed during the day; pillowcases cover the pillows you sleep on at night.
What is the difference between Standard, King, and Euro shams?
What is the difference between Standard, King, and Euro shams?
Standard shams (20" x 26") fit standard-size pillows and match Twin/Full/Queen beds. King shams (20" x 36") fit King-size pillows and match King/Cal King beds. Euro shams (26" x 26") are square and are used as decorative back-layer pillows behind sleeping pillows — most common on Queen and King beds. Each product page lists exact dimensions.
Are shams sold individually or as pairs?
Are shams sold individually or as pairs?
Quince shams are sold as pairs (a set of 2) for Standard and King sizes — matched in dye lot and finishing. Euro shams are also sold as pairs to match across the back of the bed. Each product page confirms set count before checkout.
Which fiber should I pick — linen, organic cotton, bamboo, velvet, or silk?
Which fiber should I pick — linen, organic cotton, bamboo, velvet, or silk?
European linen reads as the most refined and breathes best for hot sleepers. Organic cotton (Dream, Stripe Stitch, Hand Stitched, Diamond, Gauze) is the most versatile and easiest care — strongest entry point. Bamboo (Lyocell-based) is naturally cooling and silky-smooth. Cotton Velvet adds plush texture and visual weight — best for cool rooms. Silk Pick Stitch is the most luxurious and lightest in hand-feel. Each product page lists the exact fiber and OEKO-TEX or GOTS certification.
How do I wash these pieces?
How do I wash these pieces?
Most organic cotton and linen pieces machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle with mild detergent; skip fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Bamboo and silk pieces do best with cold-water hand wash or a delicates cycle in a mesh bag — never tumble silk on high heat. Cotton velvet should be cold-washed and air-dried to preserve the pile. Each product page lists exact care instructions.
