Shams
Fit: Shams are decorative pillow covers, often with a more elaborate design than standard pillowcases. They can have trims, embroidery, or additional fabric layers.
Occasions: Shams are usually used for decorative purposes and may not be as soft or breathable as regular pillowcases. They are commonly used in bed styling to create a more finished look.
Filling Materials:
- Down: Soft and fluffy, down pillows are highly comfortable but may not provide as much support as synthetic options.
- Memory Foam: Provides excellent support and conforms to the shape of your head and neck, offering customized comfort.
- Latex: A firmer, natural option that resists dust mites and allergens.
- Polyester: A common synthetic fill that is hypoallergenic and cost-effective.
- Feathers: More supportive than down but less fluffy. Feather pillows are often firmer and may have a slight odor.
