Description

Tru shams have a clean modern knife edge seam and a hidden envelope closure to hold your pillow insert snugly in place.

Darker colors feature 1/4" hem with a contrasting white stitch at the edge of the back closure.

Sham vs. Pillowcase

Shams and Pillowcases are both used to protect pillow inserts, but there are a wide variety of constructions. Typically, shams are more fitted and employ some method of closure to keep the pillow in place, whereas pillowcases loosely encase the pillow and are open on the side.

Fabric

When thread count became all the rage, we were disappointed with some of the gimmicks that were being used to declare absurdly high thread counts. Especially in percale fabrics. Thread count is simply a measurement of how many threads are in one square inch of fabric. A percale is a plain weave (or 1-over-1 structure) it is very challenging to weave a percale in very high thread counts; you can only pack so many threads into one square inch!

We love percale, so we decided to make the highest thread count percale possible using a very thin 100 singles cotton yarn. This is why we called it Tru(e). It is indeed a true 400 thread count percale with a light soft crispness that makes for a wonderful sleep.

Care Details

Wash

Wash should be separated into light & dark colors. Do not overload machine as this will damage long cotton fibers. We recommend a lukewarm wash cycle with a gentle detergent & a cool rinse.

Bleach may be used on white cotton bed linens only. Avoid using products that contain whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed items. The reactive dyes used for garment-dyeing are not resistant to these whitening agents.

The largest challenge with garment-dyeing is the truth that it is an art, and not a science. We must allow for a shade variation of +/- 10% from dye-lot to dye-lot.

Drying

Tumble dry with low heat.Remove bed linens promptly from the machine to reduce wrinkling. For best results, line dry.

Ironing

We at MATTEO tend to prefer a lived-in look, as such, you don't find us ironing our sheets too frequently. If you prefer a crisp looking bed, our cotton bed linens should be pressed while slightly damp using the Lightweight Cotton or Medium setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric and thread count is the Tru Sham Single made from?

The Tru Sham Single is 100% cotton in a true 400 thread count percale weave, woven using a very thin 100 singles cotton yarn. Percale is a plain 1-over-1 weave structure, and 400 threads per square inch is the upper limit achievable in this construction — which is exactly why MATTEO named this fabric Tru(e).

How does a percale sham feel compared to sateen, and is it good for warm sleepers?

Percale's plain weave sits lighter and breathes more freely than sateen, producing that clean, cool-to-the-touch finish associated with hotel-quality bedding. The Tru Sham's 400 thread count percale has a light, soft crispness that holds its coolness through the night, making it a strong choice for warmer climates or humid summers.

What sizes does the Tru Sham Single come in?

The Tru Sham Single 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).

How do I wash and care for the Tru Sham Single?

Machine wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent, separating light and dark colors, and avoid overloading the machine to protect the long cotton fibers. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; for a crisp finish, press while slightly damp on the Lightweight Cotton or Medium iron setting. Because the Tru Sham is garment-dyed using reactive dyes, keep it away from chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, and benzoyl peroxide on colored versions.
