Silk Pillowcases

Yes. Because you spend a third of your life in bed, a pure silk pillowcase is one of the easiest, most effortless upgrades you can make to protect your hair from breakage and your skin from sleep creases.

Silk creates less friction against the skin than cotton, which helps reduce pulling and pressure on the face during sleep. While no pillowcase can stop wrinkles entirely, a smooth silk surface can help minimize sleep creases over time.

Yes, silk is a gentle choice for all hair textures and most skin types. Its smooth surface is especially appreciated by people with dry, delicate, curly, frizz-prone, or easily tangled hair, as well as those who prefer a softer sleeping surface for the skin.

Yes, our silk pillowcases are made from pure mulberry silk and are a good choice for those looking for a cleaner, gentler fabric close to the skin. Combined with OEKO-TEX certification, they are especially well suited for customers who value comfort and fabric safety.

Momme measures the weight and density of silk. Our 23 momme silk offers a premium balance: it is significantly more durable and thicker than standard 19 momme silk, without feeling overly heavy or stiff.

Grade 6A is the absolute highest quality standard for silk. It means the silk threads are incredibly long, perfectly smooth, and uniform, resulting in a fabric that lasts longer and feels softer than lower grades.

Cotton is naturally absorbent and creates friction, which can cause frizz and draw moisture away from your skin. Mulberry silk provides a smooth, frictionless surface that helps hair glide and skin stay hydrated.

Silk is a natural, breathable protein fiber. Satin is simply a type of weave, usually made from synthetic polyester that traps heat and can irritate sensitive skin.

Pure mulberry silk is naturally breathable and temperature regulating, which helps create a more comfortable sleeping environment. It feels cooler and lighter than many synthetic fabrics, especially for warm sleepers.

Silk can be a better option for sensitive or acne-prone skin because it feels smoother, gentler, and less abrasive than many other fabrics. Choosing OEKO-TEX certified silk also gives extra reassurance that the fabric has been tested for harmful substances.

We recommend using a gentle machine cycle with cool water (max 30°C). Always place the pillowcase inside the free protective mesh bag we provide with your order, and use a specialized delicate detergent like Tenestar. Always air dry flat, away from direct sunlight.
