Silk Pillow Cover FAQs

What is a mulberry silk pillowcase?

A mulberry silk pillowcase is made from silk produced by silkworms fed on mulberry leaves. Jasmine Silk pillowcases use 100% Grade 6A long fibre mulberry silk and are available in 19 or 22 momme options. The result is a smooth, soft and breathable pillow cover with a premium finish.

Are silk pillowcases good for hair?

Silk pillowcases create less friction against the hair than many traditional cotton pillow covers. The smooth surface may help reduce pulling, tangling, overnight frizz and breakage, making silk a popular choice for curly, textured, dry or delicate hair. Results vary, and a pillowcase should support rather than replace your usual hair care routine.

Are silk pillowcases good for skin?

A silk pillowcase feels smooth against the face and creates less drag while you move during sleep. It may help reduce friction and the appearance of temporary sleep creases. Silk also absorbs less moisture and skincare product than many cotton fabrics, although it should not be treated as a solution for acne or other skin conditions.

Is silk better than satin for a pillowcase?

Silk is a natural fibre, while satin describes a weave and is often made from polyester. Both can provide a smooth surface, but pure mulberry silk offers a naturally soft, breathable and premium feel. Satin pillowcases are often less expensive, so the right choice depends on your budget, fabric preference and care routine.

How do you wash a silk pillowcase?

Always check the care label before washing. Jasmine Silk pillowcases can be hand washed or machine washed on a gentle cycle at no more than 30°C, using a mild, non biological detergent made for silk. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, then air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry.

Are silk pillowcases hypoallergenic

Pure mulberry silk is often considered a suitable choice for people with sensitive skin because it has a smooth surface and does not easily trap dust. Jasmine Silk pillowcases are also OEKO TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning the finished fabric has been tested for harmful substances.

However, no bedding can guarantee an allergy free sleep environment. Regular washing and following the care instructions will help keep your silk pillowcase clean and comfortable.

Why sleep on a pure mulberry silk pillowcase?

Switching to a pure mulberry silk pillowcase is one of the simplest ways to improve both your sleep quality and your beauty routine. Traditional cotton absorbs natural oils and moisture from your face and hair, creating friction that leads to sleep creases and tangled morning hair. In contrast, Grade 6A long-strand mulberry silk has an extraordinarily smooth surface. Your hair and skin glide effortlessly across the fabric, preventing overnight frizz and split ends while keeping your skin hydrated. Every Jasmine Silk pillowcase is crafted from 100% pure silk and certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ensuring the fabric is free from harmful chemicals and gentle on sensitive complexions.

19 momme vs 22 momme silk pillowcases: which is right for you?

Momme (mm) measures the weight and density of silk fabric. Understanding the difference helps you choose the perfect pillowcase for your sleep preferences:

19 Momme: Our lightweight, breathable option. It offers classic silk softness, dries quickly, and provides an accessible entry point into luxury silk bedding.
22 Momme: Woven with approximately 16% more silk per square metre than 19 momme. It features a denser, heavier drape, greater durability for frequent washing, and a rich, lustrous sheen.

Both weights offer the same hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating benefits. If you want maximum durability for everyday use, choose our 22 momme silk pillowcases. For a lighter feel, explore our 19 momme silk pillowcases.

Housewife or Oxford: choosing your pillowcase style

We offer two distinct border styles to suit your bedroom aesthetic:
