Pillow Case- A removable, usually cotton case used to cover a pillow.
Pillow Sham- A decorative cover for a bed pillow.
Now that we know the difference between the two… let me just talk for a few minutes.
Ryan and I received a very nice comforter set as a wedding gift. It is a Martha Stewart set from Macy’s. 300 thread count or more. Not so cheap if you know what I mean.
Ryan recently started sleeping on one of our shams and I told him that he was not allowed to do that because shams were for decoration and I didn’t want him to drool all over them or get blood on them (he sometimes gets nose bleeds in his sleep) or boogers on them… or anything on them. They are for decoration so they have to stay fresh and clean.
Ryan told me that he liked the pillow that was in the sham case more than the pillow in his pillow case.
Ok, so I switched the pillows. Now he can use the pillow he likes in the pillow case he is supposed to use and not get my decorative sham all yucky.
He is still sleeping on the sham.
I don’t understand, I thought I fixed the problem.
He must like the feeling of the sham rather than the feeling of the pillow case. I personally think the pillow cases are softer than the shams.
My decorative sham is ruined now.
Ugh.
