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?
Standard shams (20" x 26") fit standard-size pillows on Twin/Full/Queen beds. King shams (20" x 36") fit King pillows on King/Cal King beds.

What does GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified mean for organic cotton?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certifies the cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers and audited at every stage from farm to finished textile — the most rigorous organic-textile certification. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is a separate third-party certification confirming the finished textile has been tested for harmful substances from dyes and processing, at limits well below standard regulatory thresholds. Quince organic cotton bedding carries both certifications.

How do I wash organic cotton bedding?
Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Skip fabric softener — it coats cotton fibers and reduces breathability over time. Tumble dry on low. Organic cotton softens with every wash and holds its hand-feel for years. Avoid bleach (which weakens organic fibers) and high-heat drying (which can shrink and weaken the weave).
