26×26 pillow covers & euro shams — FAQ
What's the difference between a euro sham and a 26x26 pillow cover?
Nothing in size — both are 26×26". "Euro sham" is the bedding term; "26x26 pillow cover" is the décor term. Ours work for both: layered behind standard shams on a bed, or as the back row on a deep sofa.
What size insert do I need for a 26×26 cover?
Size up two inches to a 28×28 insert for a full, plump look. Our down-alternative inserts come in 28×28.
How many euro shams go on a bed?
Two on a full or queen, three on a king. Stand them against the headboard, then layer your standard pillows and a lumbar in front.
Are inserts included?
No — covers are sold on their own, so you can pair any cover with the insert you prefer.
Do the covers have zippers?
Yes — hidden zipper closures on every cover, so the insert slides in easily and the seam stays clean.
