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

Not if you wash it cold and avoid bleach. Bleach is what yellows white silk, because it attacks the protein fibre itself.

Yes, and it is worth being honest about that. Night cream and hair oil show on white between washes in a way they do not on black or brown.

It matches bedding people already own, and it shows the silk's sheen most clearly, because there is no dye competing with the way light sits on the weave.

Better not to. Cotton needs a hotter wash and a rougher cycle than silk tolerates, so wash the silk separately and cold.

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.

At 22 momme it is opaque. White shows the sheen of silk more clearly than any other colour, which is why it photographs the way it does.

Not with cold washing and shade drying. What yellows silk is heat and harsh detergent, not age.

Yes, more than on the dark colours. That is the trade-off with white and it washes out cold.

It is the closest thing in the range to a standard white bed, which is why it is the most bought colour.

Never. Bleach destroys silk. Cold water and a mild detergent, promptly, is what works.

White with white. It is the one colour people tend to buy two of.

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.
