FAQ

What is the pillowcase made of?

100% mulberry silk, grade 6A (per the maker), at 22 momme. It has silk on both sides and a hidden zipper closure. The fabric is OEKO-TEX certified.

What does 22 momme mean?

Momme is how silk is weighed. Many silk pillowcases are 16 to 19 momme; 22 momme is a denser, heavier weave that feels more substantial and tends to hold up better with washing.

What size is it?

Queen size, 20 x 30 in. It fits standard and queen pillows.

Is it silk on both sides?

Yes. The front and back are both mulberry silk, so either side can face up.

Zipper or envelope closure?

A hidden zipper. It keeps your pillow from slipping out and sits out of sight along the edge.

Is silk the same as satin?

No. Silk is a natural fiber; satin is a weave that is usually made from polyester. Read Silk vs. Satin Pillowcases for the full breakdown.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash or use a gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent, then air dry. Skip bleach and the dryer. Step-by-step: How to Wash a Silk Pillowcase.

Why silk instead of cotton?

Silk is smooth and slippery, so your hair and face glide over it instead of dragging. Many people notice less morning frizz and fewer pillow creases. Results vary from person to person.

Do you have a set or bundle?

Yes. Add a matching silk sleep mask for $18 with any pillowcase, or get it free with any 2 pillowcases. Add the mask to your cart and the discount applies automatically at checkout.
