Organic Cotton Sateen Sham Single
Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric is the Organic Cotton Sateen Sham made from?
The sham is 100% Egyptian cotton in a sateen weave, 300 thread count, woven with pure 60's yarn and garment-washed in MATTEO's dye-house. That wash process produces a fabric that softens further with each use rather than wearing down over time.
What sizes does the Organic Cotton Sateen Sham come in?
The sham is available in Queen (20 x 30 in / 51 x 76 cm), King (20 x 36 in / 51 x 91 cm), and Euro (26 x 26 in / 66 x 66 cm). Queen shams are priced at $125 and King and Euro shams are each $125 and $145 respectively.
What is the difference between a sham and a pillowcase?
A sham is more fitted than a pillowcase and uses a closure, such as this sham's envelope back, to hold the pillow insert securely in place. A pillowcase loosely encases the pillow and is open on one side, making shams the better choice when a tailored, finished look on the bed is the goal.
How do I wash the Organic Cotton Sateen Sham?
Machine wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent, separating light and dark colors, and avoid overloading the machine since high-density loads can damage the long cotton fibers. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; line drying gives the best result. For garment-dyed colors, avoid chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, and benzoyl peroxide, as reactive dyes are not resistant to those whitening agents. Learn more at MATTEO's garment-dyeing guide.
