Smooth on your face
Do you often wake up with creases on your face? A rough, thick pillowcase can press into your skin as you move. Silk is soft and smooth, with less friction than cotton, so it feels gentle against your face all night.
Kinder to your hair
Tired of waking up with a frizzy bird's nest on your head? Silk has a smooth surface that lets your hair glide as you toss and turn, instead of rubbing against rough fibres. Many people switch to silk to cut down on bad hair mornings.
Comfortable all year
Silk is a natural fibre that breathes, and many people find it comfortable in both summer and winter. We suggest buying two or more, and these pillowcases also make a lovely present for birthdays, Valentine's Day or Christmas.
Natural material
Silk is produced from domesticated silkworms that are bred and raised in captivity. It is a natural material, and many people with sensitive skin prefer smooth fabrics like silk. The hidden zip allows easy fitting and holds the washable silk pillowcase in place overnight.

Can a Mulberry Silk Pillow Case help with acne-prone skin?
We do not make skin or health claims. It is a smooth, soft pillowcase that is easy to wash often. If you have a skin condition, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Do Luxury Pillowcases come in standard pillow sizes?
Our mulberry silk pillowcase measures 51cm x 76cm. Measure your pillow before you order to make sure it fits.
How should I care for a Mulberry Silk Pillow Case to maintain its quality?
Hand wash it, or use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat.
Can 100% Silk Pillowcases help prevent hair tangles and knots?
Silk has less friction than cotton, so hair is less likely to tangle and knot as you move in your sleep.
Are Luxury Pillowcases suitable for hot sleepers?
Silk is a natural fibre that breathes and feels cool to the touch, so many hot sleepers like it.
Can a Mulberry Silk Pillow Case be a thoughtful gift for someone special?
Yes. A Mulberry Silk Pillow Case is an easy gift, and you can add embroidery for a name or initials.
Is it 100% pure silk?
Yes. Our mulberry silk pillowcases are made of long-fibre, 100% pure mulberry silk, graded 6A.
Are silk pillowcases good for skin?
We cannot promise any skin result. Silk is a natural fibre that absorbs less than cotton, and its smooth surface means less friction on your face as you move.
How is a silk pillowcase going to help my skin?
Your face touches your pillowcase more than any other fabric. Silk fibres absorb less than cotton, so less of your face cream ends up in the pillowcase.
The smooth, soft surface also means much less friction on your face as you roll around at night.
How is a silk pillowcase going to help my hair?
If you are sick of waking up with wild bed-head, a silk pillowcase is worth trying.
A lot of bed-hair comes from rolling and scraping your hair all night across a rough surface. Silk pillowcases are much smoother and gentler on your hair.
What is 22 Momme Silk?
Momme is a unit that measures the weight of silk. The higher the momme, the more silk there is in each square metre.
A heavier silk like 22 momme feels denser and has a soft sheen.
Is a silk pillowcase easy to wash?
Yes. Turn the silk pillowcase inside out, place it inside a mesh laundry bag, and wash with a mild detergent. Use a low-pH detergent such as a gentle washing soap. Harsh chemicals such as bleach or alkaline cleaners can harden silk. You can also buy detergents made for silk.
How often should silk pillowcases be washed?
Depending on how much face cream or moisturiser you use, pillowcases can get dirty quite quickly.
Even if you shower before bed, we suggest washing your pillowcases every week.
If you have a cold or a skin problem, you may want to wash them more than once a week.
A spare pillowcase helps while your first one air dries overnight.
