The shams are nice fabric. Not comfortable for sleeping, I'm sure, but I don't think shams are intended for sleeping. They do not have zippers, they are more envelope style in design. I found the standard to be a snug fit for my pillows, but I think a pillow in a sham should be full in appearance. I didn't want the shams to be much larger than the pillows. While I was wrestling in one of the pillows, however, I heard some stitches give. I don't see any unraveling and it wouldn't be that big of a deal to put in a few stitches if necessary. I don't see any damage, but I've been a bit more gentle with the shams ever since. I have found it difficult to find reasonably priced, plain solid color shams. These shams fit the bill well. The somewhat rough fabric goes well with a patchwork quilt. I doubt it would work well in a more formal bedroom-- it is a better match for a country style quilt than it would be for a more elaborate bedspread.

I was looking for pillow shams for my guest room, and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg. I hunted high and low before finding these on Great Offer Stock. These were inexpensive, yet looked as though they were substantive; simple but attractive. I was not disappointed. The fabric was every bit as thick as I had hoped, and the color was a dead-on match to what it looked like online. They look great with the quilt on the bed. They washed up nicely -- not wrinkled -- went right on the bed and looked great.

First, the shipping was fast and they are just plain ivory colored pillow shams (which are harder to find than you would think) but the price DOES reflect the quality. They are not 100% cotton and because of the cotton/poly blend, they felt pretty rough but it's exactly what you would expect with a blend. If they are strictly for decor pillows that you throw on and off your bed and their primary purpose seems to be inducing complaints from your husband as to why you need pillows that you don't actually use...well then, you are good to go. However, if you are looking for high-end thread counts and super soft tactility rewards then you'll have to shell out some more jack.

I have slept on these shams and they're pretty rough at first but get more comfortable as you break them in. However, the main problem that I have with them is that they slightly tore at the seams when I was putting them on a pillow. I'm not at all impressed with the quality. Also, I ordered them in Ebony and the color was rather ashy looking. If I were you, I'd buy something else.

I was new to poplin, but thought it would be a sturdy fabric for decorating with. They pulled after one wash and require ironing. Won't buy again. Planning on quilted shams without the two inch trim. Easier to wash with my husband who doesn't understand a decorative pillow (or pillow case) from a normal one. 🙄

I love the color and texture of the Cotton Blend Poplin Tailored Decorative Pillow Shams (pack of 2) in King Mocha AND the 2) Fresh Ideas Poplin 14" drop bedskirt in King Mocha. The fabric texture and color of the bedskirt and shams are identical, therefore match perfectly. I paired these with another Great Offer Stock purchase: the VCNY Nina Embossed 3-piece KING quilt set for my king bed. I bought white (the quilt fabric feels like fine brushed no-iron cotton and washed flawlessly).

I purchased this 2 pk. of pillow shams because I needed extra shams for my Queen size bed. I always use 2 sets and these were a poly-cotton blend, so I knew that they would wash well and hold up over time. I like the simple flange on the shams. They match with any bedding combination, so I'm happy to have gotten them. I would recommend these shams, but do expect that they might be a bit stiff at first.

Very good quality. Loved the poplin/cotton blend.

These shams are made from a nice, crisp fabric, easy to insert pillows into, nicely bright white and simple. I actually machine embroidered a border so they would match my room's color scheme and they were easy to sew on too. I am happy with them.

These tailored poplin shams are excellent. I ordered the white and am very pleased with the quality. I did iron them and they look crisp and clean with lots of body. Fit a standard pillow perfectly. Great value.

Love my new shams. The color is a perfect match for my bedroom, and they give a great touch to my room. I got some white ones also, and I swap them back and forth to go with my navy and my white sheets that I purchased from Great Offer Stock. I also bought a white sheet with a mostly navy print from Great Offer Stock, and my bedspread is white. This combo gives me many ways to decorate with our spending too much money.

Material is not soft. You can see right through the sham and the pillows I bought before buying the sham have a pattern on them that you can see.

Nice quality pillow shams.

I purchased the king black poplin tailored pillow shams and I am very satisfied with them. The material is a very deep black (not a washed out look) and a good thickness. Great value for the money since most retailers charge that or more for one, not a pair. I had ordered the ruffled shams in the black through OS and returned them because they looked washed out before even washing them. These poplin shams match the same material and "darkness" of the black poplin pleated bedskirt which I had already ordered.

Pillow shams are perfect color and very well made.

For the price, these shams are perfect. The ivory color is a true ivory--not white or cream. The shams washed nicely and did not require ironing. The fabric is a poplin, so not as soft as a sateen, but I am using the shams for decorative purposes. Received on the clock at noon 2 days after placement of order.

These pillow shams are great and the material is soft on the skin. Looks amazing on my bed.I will definitely buy this again,it was worth it.plan on buying different colors.

These are great for display bedding pillows, but they will show the color of the pillow through a bit. I have blue edging on my pillows and you can slightly see it.

These shams were just what I needed. I was looking for solid black king shams. The ones that I could have purchased that went with my comforter were *** per sham. NOT cool! These ones were way cheaper, and looked the same. I don't sleep on my shams, so I can't really talk much about how durable they are. But, as far as using them for decoration only, they are perfect. The fabric is stiff, so the corners stand up nicely. I ironed them after taking them out of the package and put them right on the bed. I didn't wash them first because as I mentioned, I wouldn't be sleeping on them so I'm not too sure if they shrink up. For the price, the quality is great. I would definitely buy these again and reccomend them to a friend.

I am very happy with the poplin tailored pillow shams. They are crisp without being scratchy. The white is a true brilliant white and makes my other black and white pillows pop.
