The difference between a pillowcase and a pillowcase

Ask: What is the difference between a pillowcase and a pillowcase?

Answer: This is a common question. The misconception is that they are one and the same. While both are bed pillow covers, they serve different purposes and are designed differently to complement bedding.

Pillow covers are more functional. Designed for sleeping, they serve as an extra layer for your face while you sleep. They protect your pillow from oily hair and skin, perspiration and drool.

Pillowcases are constructed of the same fabric as fitted or flat bed sheets, and are usually designed to match them. They are mostly made in a solid color, sometimes with patterned embellishments.

Pillow covers serve a more decorative purpose. They are usually used strictly for adornment and not for sleeping. They can add a really nice touch to a room and serve as a perfect addition to your child’s bedding. They are usually designed to match the child’s quilt, comforter, quilt, or duvet cover.

Pillowcases can be embellished with ornate lace, embroidery, and generally display more intricate patterns than pillowcases. You can also expect pillowcases to use thicker fabrics and be more quilted to sit on top of your bedspread or comforter.

A pillowcase is a wonderful way to add a bit of flair to a worn-looking pillow and make it look special. They usually have a zipper in the middle, which is the insertion point of the pillow. Shams can also double as pillow covers, but most people avoid this because they are more expensive and are usually made from more expensive fabrics that are used for decorative rather than functional purposes.

Finally there is the Euro Sham. What is a euro farce? it is a square pillow with an ornamental cover. It works as a regular pillowcase but can also be used as a blanket. Denotes a quilted pillow in German.
