PHF 100% Cotton Waffle Weave Euro Shams 26″ x 26″, No Filling, 2 Pack Elegant Home Decorative Euro Throw Pillow Covers for Bed Couch Sofa, White

Did I mention that I LOVE these? I had these old gigantic cushions from an old sofa I had years ago (ok, actually more than a couple decades ago, but who’s counting). Back then, there was a fad where the cushions WERE the soft part of the sofa back, and the actual back of the sofa was like a wood board covered with fabric. I left the sofa behind, but took the cushions for sentimental reasons, and because they were huge rubber latex foam nearly indestructible cushions that I loved. They were patterned, and of course matched nothing.Every cushion cover I bought over the years (decades) were either a bit too big or a bit too small, so I made do… until I found these. OMG!!! These are AMAZING. FLAWLESS! EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for!The packaging – they came in typical dept store packaging, which is quality gussetted plastic with a zipper and cardboard support inside. The packaging is fine for gifting.The cushions – were wrapped around the internal cardboard together. Perfectly matched. I saw a review that said they were 2 different colors… I can’t see why they’d go pull from 2 different color lots to fold together in the same package on top of each other?? That would involve a person going to a different color batch to fold mismatched colors together to put in the same package, which is visible through the plastic? I mention this because that comment almost made me not buy these, and when I received them, I couldn’t see how it was even possible given the way these are packaged.The fabric – THIS. Just THIS. It is 100% cotton waffle weave… I spent more on peshtemal towels that were less soft and incomparable workmanship, because a towel is just a big rectangle, with less overall fabric than 2 huge cushion covers. The covers are SOFT, beautiful, and I want to roll around in them.The sewing- looks good. These are not zippered! Zippers like to break. These are pocket covers. You fold the pillow from the middle into the cover. I LOVE this!!!I haven’t washed them yet, but I imagine that you can shrink them a few inches if you use warm-hot water, or control dry in a hot dryer, taking them out every few minutes to check size. If you use cold water and let them air dry or on no/low heat, they probably won’t shrink much at all. They fit my cushions PERFECTLY, as in slightly loose to accommodate mild shrinkage. The cushion doesn’t seem crammed into it and excessively tight. If they shrink a bit in cold water washing, that won’t hurt a thing, they were sewn a bit larger to begin with.These are not thin. They are THICKER than many peshtemal towels meant to absorb lots and lots of water. I’d say they are about as thick as a normal terry dish towel (not the excessively fluffy or the linen types). Similar to waffle cotton dish towels. What a deal!Finally, I ordered the navy blue. They look like dark denim jeans. Did I mention I LOVE these? LOVE LOVE LOVE. I could not possibly be happier!
