The Pillowcase | Mulberry Silk

Mulberry silk is not just about opulence; it's packed with tangible benefits that enhance your daily life.

Skin care. The smooth texture of mulberry silk reduces friction, helping to minimize the formation of sleep lines and wrinkles. Its hypoallergenic properties are perfect for sensitive skin, reducing irritation and maintaining skin hydration.

Hair Health. Traditional pillowcases can cause hair breakage and frizz due to friction. Mulberry silk, on the other hand, allows your hair to glide smoothly, reducing split ends and keeping your hair shinier and healthier.

Temperature regulation. Mulberry silk naturally adjusts to your body temperature, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This ensures a more comfortable and restful sleep all year round.

Hypoallergenic. Silk is resistant to dust mites, mold, and other allergens, making it an ideal choice for those with allergies or asthma. Its natural proteins and amino acids also help reduce allergic reactions.

Moisture Retention. Unlike cotton, which can absorb moisture from your skin and hair, silk retains your skin's natural moisture balance, aiding in the absorption of skincare products and maintaining hydration.

The price of mulberry silk reflects its superior quality and meticulous production process. Here’s how it compares to standard silk:

Source. Mulberry silk comes from silkworms that feed exclusively on mulberry leaves, resulting in longer and finer fibers. Standard silk may come from various silkworms and feed sources, producing shorter and coarser fibers.

Quality. Mulberry silk is known for its smooth texture, natural sheen, and durability. Standard silk may lack the same level of softness and strength.

Production process. The cultivation and harvesting of mulberry leaves, as well as the careful rearing of silkworms, contribute to the higher cost of mulberry silk. In contrast, standard silk production may involve less specialized methods and lower-grade silk.

Increased durability. The higher the momme, the stronger and more tightly woven the silk fibrers are.

Washing silk to often can reduce its softness over time. Consider washing your silk pillowcase every second week for optimal care.

Gentle detergent. Mulberry silk is a sensitive material, so always use a detergent specifically designed for silk, free from enzymes and bleach. 

Hand wash. Wash the silk pillowcases using the washing machine's specially designed hand wash program. Washing at high temperatures can damage the fibers and cause shrinkage. It’s recommended to place the silk pillowcases in a fabric bag for extra protection.

Avoid centrifuge. Excessive centrifugation can harm silk pillowcases, so let them air dry instead. 

No tumble drying. Tumble drying can damage the fibers of silk pillowcases, resulting in a rough texture. Therefore, never tumble dry your silk pillowcases.

Iron on low heat. Iron your silk pillowcases on a low setting, and consider using a cloth or similar item to protect the material.

A silk pillowcase made from 100% mulberry silk with a momme count of 28 normally lasts between 5 to 10 years, and often even longer. The lifespan of the silk pillowcase may vary depending on how its cared for. By following our washing guide and store it at a cool temperature, you can help ensure that the pillowcase lasts up to 10 years.
