Mayfairsilk Named Best Luxury Silk Bedding Brand 2024
Key Takeaways
-
Most bedding marketed as "silk" uses 19 Momme weight Mulberry silk, which feels thinner, creases faster and tends to wear out after a year or two of regular washing.
-
Silk quality also depends on grade, and only Grade 6A Mulberry silk offers the long fibres and even texture that keep pillowcases smooth on skin and hair wash after wash.
-
Mayfairsilk won both the 2024 UK Enterprise Awards and the LUXlife Global Excellence Awards for Best Luxury Silk Bedding Brand by using 25 Momme Grade 6A Mulberry silk, a denser weave than brands like Slip, Lilysilk and Gingerlily typically offer in their core ranges.
-
Every Mayfairsilk piece is designed in London, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, and hand-finished with French seams, Oxford borders and 35cm deep fitted sheets, details most competitors reserve for their highest tier or leave out entirely.
-
Shoppers looking for award-winning silk built for daily use can browse Mayfairsilk's 25 Momme Mulberry silk collection, which ships from a UK warehouse to over 32 countries and is backed by a 30-night sleep guarantee.
Best Luxury Silk Bedding Brand 2024
Mayfairsilk was named Best Luxury Silk Bedding Brand 2024 by both the UK Enterprise Awards and LUXlife Magazine's Global Excellence Awards, recognising its Mulberry silk pillowcases, sheets and duvet sets. Its 25 Momme pillowcases use a heavier weave than the 19 Momme silk most brands sell, giving denser, longer-lasting fabric that holds its shape wash after wash.
Founded in 2020 and based in London, Mayfairsilk now ships to customers in more than 32 countries and is stocked by selected retailers across the UK, US, Canada and the Middle East. Both awards recognise four years of focused work on craft, ethics and quiet British luxury.

2024: A Landmark Year for Mayfairsilk
Mulberry silk bedding remains the best choice for luxury, comfort and beauty-led sleep, and 2024 was a landmark year for Mayfairsilk, with two prestigious awards for excellence in the category. The brand was named Best Luxury Silk Bedding Brand 2024 by the UK Enterprise Awards, which recognised its continued growth, product quality and contribution to British luxury homeware. Mayfairsilk took the same title at the Global Excellence Awards, run by LUXlife Magazine, celebrating outstanding brands across the lifestyle, travel, beauty and luxury industries.
Together, the two awards reflect Mayfairsilk's commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, sustainability, design and customer experience. The year also brought new limited edition pillowcase prints and an expanded range of Oxford silk bedding sets, designed for bedrooms that feel like a sanctuary.
Since its launch in 2020, Mayfairsilk has grown into a globally recognised British silk brand, with customers in more than 32 countries and selected retail partners across the UK, US, Canada and the Middle East.
The Award Winning Difference
Winning recognition from both the UK Enterprise Awards and the Global Excellence Awards by LUXlife Magazine is a proud moment for Mayfairsilk, and a reflection of the brand’s dedication to creating silk bedding that feels beautiful, performs beautifully and stands for something greater.
“This award is a testament to the hard work, passion, and dedication of our team. At Mayfairsilk, we are driven by the pursuit of excellence, crafting products that elevate sleep into a luxurious and rejuvenating experience.
- Marcus Ubl, Cofounder
"To receive this award is both an honour and a validation of the years of craftsmanship and innovation that go into every product we design. Our vision was always to revive silk as a modern lifestyle fabric: refined, ethical, and effortlessly luxurious"
- Darshana Ubl, Cofounder
What Makes Mayfairsilk Award-Winning?
At the core of Mayfairsilk’s collection is Grade 6A Mulberry silk, chosen for its exceptional quality, softness and durability. Pillowcases are crafted from 25 Momme silk, while sheets, duvet covers and shams are made from 22 Momme, giving each piece a beautiful balance of indulgence, strength and drape. Unlike glossier alternatives, Mayfairsilk has a soft-touch matte finish: refined elegance, not a disco ball in bedding form.
Mayfairsilk’s key differentiators include:
25 Momme silk pillowcases
A denser, more luxurious silk than standard 19 Momme options, designed for lasting comfort and durability.
Grade 6A Mulberry silk
The highest grade of Mulberry silk, selected for its smoothness, long fibres and beautiful hand feel.
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified
Mayfairsilk fabrics are certified free from harmful chemicals and dyes.
Designed in London
Timeless palettes, elegant neutrals and bold limited edition prints, all designed with modern interiors in mind.
Hand-finished craftsmanship
From French seams and Oxford borders to tone-on-tone piping and deep 35cm fitted sheets, every detail is considered.
Sustainable by nature
Silk is biodegradable, renewable and long-lasting. Mayfairsilk also reuses off-cuts where possible and plants a tree with every order.
Recommended by specialists
Mayfairsilk is recommended by many Harley Street dermatologists, doctors and skincare specialists for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive skin.
Why Choose Mulberry Silk Pillowcases?
All Mayfairsilk pillowcases are made of Grade 6A pure mulberry silk.
Mulberry silk pillowcases have become a beauty and sleep essential. You spend a third of your life with your face on a pillow, so it may as well be one that behaves itself. Mayfairsilk's pillowcases are designed for healthier-looking skin, smoother hair and a more comfortable night's sleep.
1. Helps Maintain Skin Hydration
Cotton absorbs moisture from the skin, while silk helps it retain natural hydration, suiting dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin. Silk's smooth surface also creates less friction, reducing sleep creases. Less tugging, less dragging, fewer "why do I have a map of the Cotswolds on my cheek?" mornings.
2. Smoother Hair, Less Frizz
Silk’s smooth surface helps reduce friction on the hair. This can help minimise tangles, frizz, breakage and split ends, while allowing hair to retain more of its natural moisture.
Beauty experts around the world recommend silk pillowcases for maintaining softer, glossier hair, especially for curly, fragile, coloured or easily tangled hair.
3. Natural Temperature Regulation
Silk is naturally thermoregulating, helping you stay cool when warm and comfortably insulated when temperatures drop. It is a clever fabric for unpredictable British nights, when the bedroom somehow feels both too warm and suspiciously chilly within the same hour.
4. Naturally Hypoallergenic
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and highly resistant to dust mites, making it a thoughtful choice for those with allergies or sensitive skin.
5. Long-Lasting Luxury
Mayfairsilk’s pillowcases are crafted from 25 Momme Mulberry silk, offering a more substantial and durable fabric than lighter weight silk options. With the correct care, silk is both beautiful and practical.
Beauty, Sleep and Science
Mayfairsilk’s pure mulberry silk pillowcases are thermoregulating, sustainable, hypoallergenic, and great for skin and hair.
Beyond its tactile beauty, silk is a performance fabric. Mayfairsilk’s silk bedding is designed to work gently with your skin, hair and body while you sleep.
Silk can help to:
-
Maintain skin hydration
-
Minimise the appearance of sleep creases
-
Reduce hair frizz, tangles and split ends
-
Regulate body temperature
-
Resist dust mites and allergens
-
Create a smoother, softer sleeping surface
It is no wonder dermatologists, aestheticians and beauty experts so often recommend switching to silk, especially for those with dry, sensitive or easily irritated skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are silk bed sheets a good idea?
Silk bed sheets feel soft, regulate temperature and are gentle on skin and hair. Unlike cotton, silk keeps moisture close to the skin rather than drawing it away, suiting dry or sensitive skin. With proper care, a quality silk set lasts for years.
Is it better to sleep in cotton or silk?
Cotton is breathable and easy to care for, but it absorbs moisture from skin and hair and creates friction overnight. Silk stays smooth against the skin, helps hair retain its natural oils and adapts to body temperature through the night. For skin, hair or sleep quality, silk has the edge.
Why do I sleep better with a silk pillowcase?
A silk pillowcase gives your face and hair a smoother surface, with less tugging, fewer creases and less friction as you move. Silk also regulates temperature, so your pillow rarely feels too hot or cold. The result is a calmer night with fewer irritations.
What is the best type of silk for bedding?
Grade 6A Mulberry silk is the highest quality, thanks to its long fibres, even texture and soft feel. Momme weight matters too: 22 Momme suits sheets and duvet covers, while 25 Momme gives pillowcases extra density. Anything under 19 Momme feels thin and wears out faster.
What makes Mayfairsilk bedding different?
Mayfairsilk uses Grade 6A Mulberry silk in heavier 22 and 25 Momme weights, finished with a soft-touch matte look rather than a high-gloss sheen. Every piece is designed in London, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and hand-finished with French seams, Oxford borders and 35cm deep fitted sheets.
