Peruse our range of pure Mulberry silk pillowcases. Cool to the touch and perfect for hot sleepers, these 100% silk pillowcases are elegantly smooth and come with a stylish zip closure to keep them in place.
Silk pillowcases feel indulgently smooth and have a number of well-known benefits. Because silk is so smooth, slumbering on a silk pillowcase is kinder to your skin and hair than a regular pillowcase, helping prevent tangled, frizzy hair and reducing the chances of waking up with a creased face. Silk is hydrophobic; it absorbs less moisture than cotton or linen, so sleeping on a silk pillowcase means your skin is more likely to stay hydrated, helping you wake up looking your best. Finally, silk is naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for sleepyheads with sensitive skin or allergies. Pair your silk pillowcase with an allergy-friendly pillow for best results.
Should I get a silk or cotton pillowcase?
Silk and cotton are both excellent choices for a pillowcase. As natural fibres, they are breathable and comfortable to sleep on. A silk pillowcase is a luxurious choice and the benefits of sleeping on silk are well-documented. However, silk pillowcases are more expensive than most cotton pillowcases. They also need special care and must be hand-washed. Cotton pillowcases are easier to care for and can be laundered with the rest of your washing. There are a wide range of cotton pillowcases available, giving you many options to suit your budget and preference, from indulgent 1000 thread count Supima Cotton pillowcases through to affordable 200 thread count cotton pillowcases.
