Do Shams Have to Match Comforter

It is not necessary for your pillow shams to match your comforter. In fact, matching is sometimes not the desired look. When planning for your perfect bedding set, remember that matching your pillow shams to your comforter is only one of the ways to coordinate your bedding.

Are you supposed to sleep on Shams?

Although they can definitely be slept on like normal pillowcases, pillow shams are usually used as support when sitting in bed and as decoration during the day. Sham pillows can be placed behind normal pillows when sleeping or just removed from the bed completely.

Are Shams worth it?

As far as their perceived lack of utility, one might argue that, placed in front of or on top of your sleeping pillows, shams can actually shield your pillowcases from dirt and dust. And they’re great for an extra level of support when reading or sitting up in bed.
