Bed with alot of pillow and shams

EURO SHAM:  Named after its popularity in Europe, a Euro Sham has dual purposes.  It is a square pillow, with a standard 26″ x 26″ measurement.  It can be used for decorative purposes to accent the bed, and is also an excellent pillow to lean back on to read, wtire or sit up in bed.

ENVELOPE PILLOW:  A smaller pillow, usually with different fabrics or design where one piece of fabric is enveloped over the other, creating a unigue, multi fabric or colored look.

FLANGED:  Bedding products that are described as “flanged” mean they have a decorative band of fabric surrounding them.  This is most common for pillows.  A flanged pillow’s decorative fabric is usually straight or has a more tailored look, rather than a ruffle.

NECKROLL:  A neckroll is a cylindrical pillow, usually small, about 12″ x 6″, however, with neckrolls being increasingly popular, different sizes are now readily available, anywhere from 19″ x 6″ and up.  a neckroll pillow can add a simple and unique element to any design style.

SHAM:  A sham is similar to a pillowcase, but more decorative and is usually not slept on.  Shams are usually ruffled, quilted or flanged and are used to hide pillows or to simply decorate the bed.  They are popular for use with a comforter or covelet, as neither will over your pillows.  They are usually available in 4 sizes;  standard, queen, king, and Euro.

WELT:  Welt is another name for cording.  Cording is ofter used on comforters, shams or decorative pillows.  Self-Welt means the cording is made from the same fabric of the item.  Welts are created in different sizes to obtain different styles and looks for each piece.
