Mulberry Silk Blue Pillowcase | 100% Silk Blue Pillow Case | Silk Blue Pillow Slip

This is the true blue. The light blue is a separate product with its own stock, not a paler photograph of this one.

Navy and denim tones, where black can look heavy. It also works against plain white.

No. They are two different products with two different stock codes, and we keep them apart deliberately.

Less than white and more than black. Mid-tone colours sit in the middle on that.

Yes. Every colour in the range is the same 100% mulberry silk at 22 momme, 51cm x 76cm, with the same hidden zip and the same price. Only the colour differs.

It is how silk weight is measured, the way thread count is used for cotton. Lighter silk around 16 momme feels thin and wears sooner at the seams; heavier silk above 25 momme costs a good deal more. 22 sits where most people want it.

Yes, 100% mulberry silk on both faces. Satin is a weave rather than a fibre, so a satin pillowcase is often polyester. We sell that separately and it is a different fabric, not a cheaper version of this.

51cm x 76cm, which fits a standard European or UK pillow, with a hidden zip along one edge so the pillow stays inside and nothing presses against your face.

Yes. Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach, then line dry or tumble dry on low. Wash a strong colour separately the first time.

Not quickly, if you wash it cold and keep it out of direct sun to dry. Hot water and sunlight are what pull colour out of dyed silk.

Yes, mulberry silk on both faces. There is no cotton or polyester backing, which is what some cheaper 'silk' pillowcases do.

It is 51cm x 76cm, which is the standard European and UK pillow size. A continental square 65cm x 65cm pillow will not fit.

A hidden zip along one edge, so nothing shows and the pillow stays in.

It sits inside a fabric flap rather than against your face. It is the reason a zip is better than an envelope closure on a pillowcase you sleep on.

No. Hang it to dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Silk dries quickly and heat is what shortens its life.

Rarely. If you want it flat, iron on the reverse at a cool setting. A hot iron glazes silk and the mark does not come out.

Not if you wash it cold. Hot water is the risk with any natural fibre.

About as often as a cotton pillowcase, so once a week or so. Cold gentle washing does not wear silk out.

A mild one, ideally a silk detergent. No bleach, and nothing with optical brighteners or enzymes, which are what actually damage silk.

Years with cold washing and shade drying. Heat, bleach and direct sunlight are what age silk, in that order.

We make no such claim. Silk is a natural protein fibre and many people with easily irritated skin prefer it, which is a preference rather than a tested claim. Anyone with a diagnosed silk allergy should avoid it.

No, and we have taken that claim off this site. Silk is smoother than cotton so it catches less on skin and hair. That is a real and modest difference and it is all we will say.

One pillowcase sits under the €75 threshold, so delivery is €25 unless you add something else. Two clear it and ship free.

Yes, 14 days from delivery to change your mind under EU consumer law, unused and in resaleable condition.

A true mid blue rather than a navy or a pastel. Against white bedding it reads clearly as blue; against grey it reads darker.

The light blue is a pale, almost powder shade. This one is several tones deeper. They look further apart in daylight than they do on a screen.

It sits better with cool greys and whites than with cream or beige, where it can look slightly out of place.

Mid blues hold better than deep reds and blacks, though sunlight will still take the edge off over years. Dry it in the shade.

Give it its own first wash to be safe, as with any saturated dye on silk. After that it is fine with similar colours.

White or silver, usually one of each on a double bed.
