A square pillow typically measuring 26" x 26" used for decorative purposes on a bed or for lumbar support on a sofa or couch. When used a on bed they are placed behind your standard, queen and king sized sleep pillows and used with a euro sham. When used on a sofa they are usually placed in the corners when not in use. But, when needed, placed behind the back for lumbar support or so the sofa doesn't sit so deep. They are, in my opinion the most versitile pillow anyone can buy. They can be filled with feathers, down, or a mix like our standard luxury down pillows.
The standard size for Euro pillows is 26" x 26", making them a popular choice for both decorative and functional use.

Euro pillows require a covering called a Euro sham, which, ironically, needs to have an internal dimension slightly smaller to ensure the Euro pillow fills the sham properly.
In the U.S., Euro pillows are commonly used for decorative purposes on the bed and as lumbar support on sofas or couches. However, our European counterparts typically use Euro pillows for sleeping. For the ultimate comfort, pair our Euro pillows with our delectably soft, old-fashioned feather pillows, or enjoy them on their own for a plush sleeping experience.
A Euro sham is a decorative covering for a 26" x 26" euro pillow. The sky is the limit when it comes to Euro shams. They can be styled like a pillow case or hemstitched with scallops around the perimeter for the ultimate in luxury.
