Standard Pillow Shams

The main difference between a standard pillowcase and a standard pillow sham is that a pillow sham is meant to be seen. Pillows covered in pillowcases can give the bed an unmade look when left out on top of the bedspread. Standard pillow shams are like slipcovers for the pillow that give the pillow, and therefore the bed it lays on, a more polished finished look.

Standard pillow shams usually feature an opening in their back allowing them to slip easily on and off standard size pillow cases. The purpose of standard pillow shams is to turn your ordinary pillows into a decorative accent, like throw pillows or novelty pillows.
