- Is this a sham or a pillowcase to sleep on?
- It is a decorative sham meant to sit over the pillow as the top layer of a made bed. For sleeping, pair it with a plain cotton pillowcase.
- Does it come as a pair?
- No. It is sold as a single standard sham, so a matching pair requires two.
- Will the 600 thread count feel soft right away?
- Egyptian cotton at this count starts smooth but somewhat stiff. Most owners say it softens after a few washes.
- What size pillow fits a standard sham?
- A standard sham fits a 20 x 26 inch pillow. Check your pillow's dimensions before ordering.
- How should I wash it?
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble low or line dry. Avoid bleach and high heat to protect the print and the cotton.
- Is it worth it over a cheaper sateen sham?
- If you want long-staple cotton, US finishing and a print that lasts, yes. If you mainly need an everyday sleeping case, a plain cotton pillowcase does the job for less.
