Role of Bed Linens: Bed linens serve multiple purposes. They protect the underlying bedding (like duvets or pillows) from wear and tear, add layers for warmth, and offer an opportunity to change the bedroom's look with different colors, patterns, and textures.

One of the most popular sham sizes, the “Euro” Sham, measures 26 x 26.” Also known as a European or Continental sham, this decorative pillow is part of the main bed-scape, or “top of bed.” As part of the decorative look, Euro shams can have man different types of closures, and are meant more for propping yourself up in bed. A Queen bed typically has Euro shams, but a King bed needs 3 Euro shams to proportionately fill the bed’s width.
