Frequently Asked Questions
What does 22 momme actually mean?
Momme is how silk weight is measured, in the same way thread count is used for cotton. This pillowcase is 22 momme.
Is this real silk or is it satin?
It is real silk. Satin is a weave, not a fibre, so a satin pillowcase is often polyester. This is 100% mulberry silk. If you want the satin option we sell that separately, and it is a different fabric rather than a cheaper version of this one.
Is it silk on both sides?
Yes. Some pillowcases are silk on one face and cotton on the other, which halves the cost and halves the point. Both faces here are the same silk, so it does not matter which way it lands on the bed.
What size is it?
51cm x 76cm, which fits a standard European or UK pillow. It is not a king or a body pillow size.
Will it fit my pillow?
If your pillow is a standard 50cm x 75cm it will fit comfortably. A very deep or overfilled pillow may stretch it, which is worth knowing before you order.
How does it close?
With a hidden zip along one edge. The pillow stays inside instead of working its way out overnight, and because the zip is sewn in rather than sitting on the surface there is nothing to press against your face.
Can I machine wash it?
Yes. Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach. Line dry or tumble dry on low.
Will washing ruin the silk?
Not if you wash it cold and gently. What damages silk is hot water, bleach, harsh detergent and a hot tumble dryer.
Can I iron it?
Yes, on a cool setting and on the reverse side. Most people do not bother, since silk drops most of its creases as it hangs.
How often should I wash it?
About as often as any pillowcase, so roughly weekly. If you use heavy night creams or hair oils you may want to wash it more often, because those build up on any fabric.
Does silk really help with bedhead?
We make no hair claim for this pillowcase. It is 100% mulberry silk with a smooth surface, and it is not a cure for anything.
Is it good for my skin?
We make no skin claim for it. We do not claim it treats any skin condition, because we cannot show you evidence for that.
Does it prevent wrinkles?
No, and we are not going to say it does. We make no skin or anti-ageing claim for this product.
Is it hypoallergenic?
We do not make that claim. Hypoallergenic is a specific claim and we have no test data to support it for this product.
Is silk hot to sleep on?
We make no temperature claim for this pillowcase. It is 22 momme mulberry silk.
Is it worth it in winter?
We make no temperature claim for it in any season. It is the same pillowcase all year round.
Which colour should I pick?
Whichever you like. All eleven are the same silk at the same weight and the same price, so there is no quality difference to weigh up. Darker colours hide hair-product marks between washes a little better.
Do the colours match the photos exactly?
They are close, but screens vary and silk shifts noticeably with the light. Gold in particular reads warmer in daylight than it does on a phone.
Will the colour run in the wash?
Wash it cold and separately for the first wash, as you would with any dyed silk. After that it can go in with similar colours.
Do you sell them in pairs?
They are sold singly, so order two if you want a matching pair. Two of the same colour is the usual choice, though a lot of people buy two different ones.
Can I buy a matching sheet?
Yes. We sell mulberry silk sheets separately, in black and white, in two sizes.
Is this the same as your satin pillowcase?
No. The satin pillowcase is a different fabric at a lower price. This one is 22 momme mulberry silk. Neither is a downgrade of the other, they are just different things.
How long will it last?
We do not promise a lifespan. Wash it cold and gently, and if it is faulty the consumer law of your EU country applies in full.
Does it come in a gift box?
It ships in our standard packaging. If you want it monogrammed we offer embroidery as a separate item.
Can I get my initials on it?
Yes, we offer embroidery as an add-on product. Add it to your order alongside the pillowcase.
How much is delivery?
Delivery across Europe is EUR 25, and it is free on orders over EUR 75. One pillowcase is under the threshold, two will clear it.
How long does delivery take?
Allow up to 7 working days for delivery after dispatch within 2 working days across Europe once your order is on its way.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind under EU consumer law, and this is a standard stock item so that right applies in full.
Can I return it if I have slept on it?
Change-of-mind returns need the item to be in a resaleable condition, so an unwashed and unused pillowcase is straightforward. If it arrived faulty or damaged that is a different matter and we will sort it out regardless.
Do you sell to hotels or shops?
Yes. There is a wholesale page with the details, and it is worth contacting us directly for quantities.

Silk, and nothing else
This is a 100% mulberry silk pillowcase. Not a silk blend, not satin woven
from polyester, and not silk on one side and cotton on the other. Both faces are
the same silk, so it does not matter which way it lands on the bed.
It is 22 momme. Momme is simply how silk weight is measured, the way thread
count is used for cotton.
The practical bits
It measures 51cm x 76cm, which fits a standard European or UK pillow. There
is a hidden zip along one edge, so the pillow stays inside it and you do not
wake up holding an empty case. The zip is sewn in rather than sitting on the
surface, so there is nothing to press against your face.
You can machine wash it. Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach,
and either line dry or tumble dry on low. Iron on the reverse if you want it
flat, though most people do not bother. It is a pillowcase, not an heirloom.
What silk actually does, and what we are not going to tell you
Silk fibre has a smoother surface than woven cotton.
That is the honest extent of it. We are not going to claim this pillowcase
reduces wrinkles, treats a skin condition, or is hypoallergenic, because we
cannot show you the evidence for any of that. If you want one because it feels
better to sleep on and it looks good on the bed, those are perfectly good
reasons, and they are the real ones.
Eleven colours, all the same price
Black, blue, brown, gold, lavender, light blue, mint green, pink, red, silver
and white. Every colour is the same silk at the same weight and the same price,
so pick the one you like rather than the one that is cheapest. If you want a
lower priced option, the satin
pillowcase is the alternative, and it is a different fabric rather than a
lesser version of this one.
