Like regular pillowcases, decorative pillow shams come in four main sizes: standard, queen, king, and Euro. They are usually arranged on a bed by size, with the tallest pillows in the back. Standard pillow shams : Standard shams typically measure 20 inches tall and 26 inches wide. Two standard shams fit side by side across a full, double, or queen-size bed. Queen pillow shams : Larger queen shams are also 20 inches tall but 30 inches wide. You can place them side by side across a queen-size bed. King pillow shams : The widest type of sham, king-size pillow shams measure 20 inches tall and 36 inches wide. You guessed it: Two of them fit side by side on a king bed. Euro pillow shams : Euro shams are square, measuring 26 inches along each side. They traditionally go behind all the other sham pillows to give the bed a full and luxe look.

Learn More About Shams

A pillow sham is a decorative pillow cover that puts the finishing touch on your bedding design. Pillow shams are similar to pillowcases and can be used with the same standard pillows. The main difference is that shams typically open at the back rather than at the side for a more seamless and decorative front appearance. They often coordinate with your other bedding items, like your duvet cover.

Bed pillow shams are usually not intended to be slept on, but rather to be placed in front of the sleeping pillows after the bed is made as a visual cherry on top. Many people also lean against their sham pillows when relaxing in bed while reading a book or watching TV.

Like regular pillowcases, decorative pillow shams come in four main sizes: standard, queen, king, and Euro. They are usually arranged on a bed by size, with the tallest pillows in the back.

Standard pillow shams: Standard shams typically measure 20 inches tall and 26 inches wide. Two standard shams fit side by side across a full, double, or queen-size bed.
Queen pillow shams: Larger queen shams are also 20 inches tall but 30 inches wide. You can place them side by side across a queen-size bed.
King pillow shams: The widest type of sham, king-size pillow shams measure 20 inches tall and 36 inches wide. You guessed it: Two of them fit side by side on a king bed.
Euro pillow shams: Euro shams are square, measuring 26 inches along each side. They traditionally go behind all the other sham pillows to give the bed a full and luxe look.

Quilted pillow shams give the bed a cozy and welcoming feel. Etsy sellers craft them with both beautiful handmade patchwork designs and quilted patterns. They are an excellent choice for cottage- and country-style spaces—or if you're just looking for a charming accent to tie your bedding together. Quilted shams are available in a wide variety of colors to match the style of the room, and they have a fantastically textured surface to help them stand out and make a statement.

Etsy sellers design printed pillow shams in a colorful array of patterns and styles, including striking geometric patterns, gorgeous florals, animal designs, forest and nature scenes, and even shams that look like watercolor paintings. Printed shams are perfect for expressing your personal style and adding personality to any bedroom. They’re also a great way to change up your bedding look for the start of a new season or even just according to your mood.

Pillow shams are a fantastic piece of home decor to customize with a monogram. Some Etsy sellers will make you monogrammed pillow shams in a variety of colors and designs. These personalized pillows make thoughtful gifts for special occasions like weddings and housewarmings. They are also a great way to give your own bed an extra touch of elegance.
