Silk naturally softens over time while maintaining its sheen.
▾ Is this 100% real Mulberry silk?
Yes. All our silk pillowcases are made from 100% 6A Grade Mulberry silk — not satin or synthetic blends.
▾ What does momme mean?
Momme (mm) measures the density and weight of silk.
• 22 momme offers a balance of softness and durability
• 25 momme feels slightly thicker and more substantial
• 30 momme provides a denser, more luxurious hotel‑grade feel
Higher momme generally means heavier, longer‑lasting silk.
▾ Is silk pillowcase cooling and breathable?
Yes. Mulberry silk is naturally breathable and temperature‑regulating. It helps keep you cool in warmer months while remaining comfortable year‑round.
▾ Is silk gentle on hair and skin?
Yes. Silk’s smooth surface reduces friction against hair and skin, helping minimize frizz, breakage, and sleep creases.
▾ Is silk better than satin?
Silk is a natural protein fiber. Satin is a weave that may be made from synthetic materials. Real Mulberry silk offers superior breathability and smoothness.
▾ Is this suitable for children?
Yes. Silk is smooth, lightweight, and gentle, making it suitable for both adults and children.
▾ Is this suitable as a gift?
Yes. Our silk pillowcases are gift‑ready and make thoughtful presents for birthdays, housewarmings, weddings, or self‑care occasions.
▾ Will the print fade after washing?
No. We use high‑quality, color‑fast dyes. When cared for properly, the print remains vibrant wash after wash.
▾ How should I wash my silk pillowcase?
Hand wash or machine wash cold on a delicate cycle using silk‑safe detergent. Air dry in shade and avoid tumble drying.
