Providing protection, style, and comfort, pillow covers actually come in a variety of different types, sizes, and uses. Depending on the pillow cover you choose, the benefits will vary and you may find that using various types combined will do wonders for your bed. Take a look at what each type of pillow cover refers to and how it can elevate your sleeping experience. 

Pillowcases

Probably the most common form of a pillow cover, pillowcases cover your sleeping pillow while you sleep for adequate protection and comfort. They also typically match the rest of your sheets for a cohesive, stylish look. Choose materials that are high quality, durable, and super soft like Egyptian cotton. Made with extra-long staple fibers, Egyptian cotton pillowcases will keep you comfortable and last you years to come.

Pillow Protector / Pillow Cover

Pillow protectors, or sometimes referred to as pillow covers, are made to encase your pillow with a more snug fit strictly for protection purposes. Usually you will find that pillow protectors are equipped with zippers so the entire pillow is protected at all times. Using a pillow protector along with your pillowcase will provide extra protection and keep your pillow clean even longer. Place your pillow protector on your pillow and then follow with your pillowcase for increased longevity and a comfortable sleep.

Pillow Sham

Made for more decorative purposes, pillow shams normally match your duvet cover or comforter for a stylish look. Typically you use your pillow shams only when the bed is made as they are not intended for sleeping. Choose from luxury prints or classic solids for the 5-star getaway bed of your dreams. Consider implementing a luscious floral print for a pop of color and style with our signature printed sateen duvet covers available in two luxurious prints.
