    The shams are covers for pillows that match the duvet cover… I bought a duvet set that had hte duvet cover and 2 pillow shams so that your bed looks all pretty

    Duvet goes over the comforter, sham is a decorative pillowcase and a coverlet is a thin decorative blanket

    Shams cover the pillows. It says Duvet cover set, because people always think that the duvet is the blanket. No, it doesn’t come with the comforter- just the cover.

    A duvet cover is slipped over you comforter and zipped up. A sham is put over your pillows. They call it a set because the duvet covers the bed and the shams dress up your pillows and are then placed on top of the duvet.

    a sham is a decorative pillow cover.
