Care & Maintenance

How do I wash a silk pillowcase safely?

  • Hand wash in cold or lukewarm water using a pH-neutral detergent.
  • If you machine wash, turn the pillowcase inside out, put it in a mesh laundry bag, and use a delicate cycle.
  • Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, and fabric softener — these can damage silk.
  • Air dry or put in dryer on low heat
  • For wrinkles, either steam or iron on very low through a damp cloth.

How long does a silk pillowcase last?

  • With proper care, a good-quality silk pillowcase can last 5 years or more with daily use.
  • The lifespan is longer if you rotate between multiple pillowcases or don’t use it every night.

Can silk pillowcases make you hot at night?

  • real silk is naturally breathable and helps regulate temperature.
  • It wicks moisture rather than trapping it, which helps with staying comfortable.

Product Benefits

What are the benefits of a silk pillowcase?

  • Silk is very smooth, which reduces friction — that helps minimize hair breakage, frizz, and tangles.
  • It absorbs less moisture than cotton, so it helps skin retain hydration and doesn’t soak up your skincare products.
  • Silk can reduce “sleep creases” or lines on your face because of its glide.
  • It’s naturally breathable and temperature regulating, helping you stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
  • If it’s high-quality mulberry silk, it may be more durable and offer better quality.

What does “momme” mean and why does it matter?

  • “Momme” is a unit that measures the weight (density) of silk threads.
  • Higher momme means more silk per square inch, which often means more durability and a richer feel.
  • Many quality pillowcases are in the 19–30 momme range.

Do higher-priced silk pillowcases perform better?

  • Often yes — higher-quality silk (like Grade 6A mulberry silk) tends to be more durable, smoother, and more beneficial for hair/skin.
  • Lower-quality or synthetic “silk-like” pillowcases might not give the same benefits

Will silk help prevent wrinkles?

  • It might help reduce sleep lines because of lower friction.
  • But it’s not a guarantee — it’s more of a support tool, not a miracle cure.

Is silk really better than satin pillowcases?

  • Yes — traditional satin pillowcases are often made from synthetic materials (like polyester), which don’t offer the same breathability or skin/hair benefits as real silk.
  • Real silk is a natural protein fiber, while satin is a type of weave — so “satin” doesn’t necessarily mean silk.

Does silk help with frizzy or dry hair?

  • Yes — because of the smooth surface and less absorbent nature, silk helps hair glide instead of snagging, which reduces frizz.
  • It also retains moisture better (since it doesn’t pull moisture out), which can help with dry or brittle hair.

Is silk good for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

  • It can be helpful because it’s gentler on skin (less tugging) and doesn’t absorb as much product.
  • However, silk isn’t inherently antibacterial — you still need to wash the pillowcase regularly to avoid buildup.
  • Also, not all “silk” pillowcases are made the same — quality matters.
