Collection: Mulberry Silk Pillowcases | Super King

Beauty in bedding

Silk helps your skin and hair to smoothly slide across the pillow at night, whereas cotton absorbs and retains moisture from your skin and hair, ironing in sleep wrinkles and causing hair breakage. Silk does not dry out the skin, so you won't have to worry about your night-time skincare routine feeding your pillowcase instead of your skin. Also, a lesser-known fact of cotton is that because of its property where it absorbs and retains moisture, it becomes a breeding ground for dust-mites and bacteria which are responsible for triggering household allergies.

Therefore, many people have been accustomed to sleeping on small or large bed linen made from Egyptian cotton, are now making a switch to silk. Silk's natural fibres are hypoallergenic, making them ideal for people with sensitive skin, as it is highly resistant to dustmites and bacteria. It is no wonder that silk bedding which includes flat sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases are becoming exceedingly popular for those who look to invest in the best.

Proven as a beauty accessory, dermatologists and hairdressers recommend Mayfairsilk king size pillow cases, as they are crafted from pure Mulberry silk in 25 momme (extra thick) with a smooth hand feel and a matte finish.

Pamper your hair with silk pillowcases

Each night your hair endures hours being crushed up against your pillow. Cotton causes friction which ends up creating dry, frizzy hair which is more prone to split ends. Silk pillowcases offer the perfect alternative. Its smooth finish ensures reduced friction to keep your tresses tangle free for your morning hairstyle.

Protect your skin with silk pillowcases

If you are a side sleeper, your face is in constant contact with your pillowcase.

Being far less absorbent than classic cotton pillowcases, silk pillowcases won't extract the moisture and oils from your skin overnight. This is one of the reasons that silk pillowcases decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as they ensure your skin’s natural hydration is maintained. Hypoallergenic and calming to the skin, the super-smooth texture not only feels great but helps you avoid facial sleep creases. They really are the perfect pillowcase.

There isn't a better time to upgrade your bedtime beauty regime with a silk pillow case. Although a word of caution, as with all things of quallity, there are some nasty cheap pillow cases for sale pretending to be pure silk, but you'll find that they are mixed with synthetic fibre or cotton, and will likely shrink or bleed colour after your first wash.

Cotton, flannel, and wool, which are rough short fibres, can generate creases, lines, and wrinkles around your eyes, forehead, lips and cheeks. You don't have to suffer irritation from your bedding any longer.
