Comforter Set includes a comforter, bedskirt, and shams. Twin has 1 standard sham; Full and Queen have 2; King has 2 king shams.

Throw-Style Bedspread

Coverlet

Coverlet gives you the stylish look of a comforter with the lighter weight of a quilted bedspread. We recommend that you use a bedskirt and shams with a coverlet.

quilt

Quilt is generally made of two layers of cotton fabric with polyester or cotton batting between. Our had-quilted covers are machine-pieced to for intricate designs. A fine quilt is an heirloom that can be passed down from generation to generation. We recommend that you use a bedskirt and shams with a quilt.

Bedskirt

Bedskirt conceals what is under your bed. Fabric lays over your box springs and has an attached skirt on three sides that hangs to the floor. Use with comforters, quilts, or coverlets. Bedskirt helps keep dust from settling under your bed.

Bolster Sham or Pillow

Bolster Sham or Bolster Pillow is designed for use with a Hollywood Cover. A Bolster Pillow includes the sham and foam insert. A Bolster Sham is a covering only (no foam insert inside).

Gusseted Corner

Gusseted Corner features a small piece of fabric that is sewn under the split corners to hide the bed frame and finish the look of the bedspread.

Sheet Set

Sheet Set generally includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and 2 pillowcases. Twin Sheet Sets only contain 1 standard pillowcase. The quality of a sheet set is determined by its thread count (see below).

Thread Count

Thread Count is defined as the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. The higher the thread count, the more luxurious the sheet.

Pillow Sham

Pillow Shams are decorative coverings for a standard/queen or king bed pillow. They generally have an opening on the reverse side. Shams can be used with any style of bed covering. See our sham stuffer pillows.

European Sham

European Shams are decorative coverings for 26" square pillows (see our sham stuffer pillows). A European pillow makes a great backrest for sitting up in bed to watch television or to read.
