Why Leading Experts Recommend Our 25MM Mulberry Silk Pillowcases

Reducing Hair Breakage

Our Mulberry Silk pillow covers maintain hair hydration and reduce hair tangles, frizz, and pulling throughout the night. This makes each morning easier, by reducing unruly bed hair, less frizz, unnecessary breakage and hair loss.

Wonder which one is better - silk or satin pillowcases?

Both pillowcases are known for reducing friction and therefore less hair breakage. However, silk pilllowcases are considerablly better that its synthethic satin pilllowcase counterpart, as the latter creates static, is clammy and hot because it does not breathe or have the same thermoregulating properties of natural silk. Silk just feels softer and more luxurious to sleep on.

Soothing to the skin

Silk pillow covers have proven to be a lifesaver for people with sensitive skin, especially for eczema and acne. Hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and free from harmful chemicals and dyes, Mayfairsilk is extremely kind to the skin.

Silk pillow cases are extremely soft on the skin. Cotton, flannel, and wool, which are rough short fibres, can generate creases, lines, and accelarate wrinkles around your eyes, forehead, lips and cheeks. You don't have to suffer irritation from your bedding any longer.

Sleep Soundly

Silk fabrics are breathable and temperature regulating to help your body maintain an optimum sleeping temperature. In the summer, silk is naturally cooling and vents excess heat. In the winter, it provides an insulation barrier, creating an air pocket between the lattice structure to warm you up into that optimum temperature band.

Silk bedding achieves this climate control through an intricate mechanism of thermoregulation that modern science has been studying to try and emulate.

Being a naturally breathable fabric with exquisite tactile pleasure, it promotes a dreamy, restful night's sleep.

There simply isn't a more ideal, luxurious, comfortable fabric to sleep on for 3,000 hours over the next year, or 30,000 hours over the next decade than Mayfairsilk.

Sleep better with 100% pure 25 momme Mulberry silk pillow cases

Our UK Standard Silk Pillow Cases (US Queen Silk Pillowcase) are naturally hypoallergenic, impeccably smooth, temperature regulating and reduce hair breakage and frizz.  

Our silk pillowcases are free from all harmful chemicals and dyes in manufacturing and they naturally reduce the formation of dust mites, fungus, mould, and other allergens.

Measuring 50 x 75cm, our standard silk pillow cases are designed to perfectly fit the width of a UK King bed (measuring 5ft / 150cm across).

All our silk pillow cases are handcrafted from the highest Grade 6A long-fibre Mulberry Silk and have become recognised as the ultimate sleep accessory due to the advantages they offer for your skin and hair. 

Silk has been regarded as the Queen of Textiles for over 4 millennia, and a prized secret of the orient for 2.5 millennia due to it's exquisite feel and ability to maintain your skin's natural beauty and youthfulness.

Recommended by dermatologists and hairdressers, Mayfairsilk helps your skin and hair to smoothly slide across the pillow at night. Conversely, cotton absorbs and retains moisture from your skin and hair, causing unwanted sleep wrinkles and hair breakage.

Ideal for people with sensitive skin, silk is a hypoallergic natural fibre which protects your precious skin and hair! This is why it's important to invest in the best silk pillowcase available.

Silk pillowcases are a dream for your hair

Every night your hair endures hours of being pressed against your pillow. This constant friction leads to dry, frizzy hair, more prone to split ends and of course, a more difficult hairstyle to manage in the morning.

Regardless of your hair type - fine, thick, curly, dry or oily, our lush, exquisite and impeccably comfortable, silk pillowcases offer a wonderful alternative to ensure your tresses will be tangle free with greater luminance.

Silk pillowcases are divine for your skin

Far less absorbent than classic cotton pillowcases, silk pillowcases won't extract the moisture and oils from your skin overnight. Silk is also calming and soothing to the skin, allowing it to rejuvenate while you sleep.

By maintaining your skin's natural moisture, silk pillowcases can help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hypoallergenic and calming to the skin, the super-smooth texture not only feels great but helps you avoid facial sleep creases.

Upgrade your bedtime beauty regime with the best silk pillowcase, expertly crafted from the finest 25 momme silk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why should I use a high quality silk pillowcase?

Incorporating a silk pillowcase into your nightly routine can aid in preserving your skin's natural hydration, unlike cotton, which tends to draw out moisture from your skin and hair.

For those battling acne, silk pillowcases are a superior choice as they are hypoallergenic and inherently antibacterial.

Additionally, for those with delicate skin, top-grade silk pillowcases are optimal as they calm sensitive skin, resist mites, and are devoid of harmful chemicals and dyes.

The breathability, moisture-wicking, and tactile qualities of silk contribute to a supremely comfortable night's sleep.

Moreover, it minimizes sleep-induced creases, which helps avert the formation of deeper wrinkles overnight, and curtails hair frizziness and tangling in the morning.

What are the pros and cons of silk pillowcases?

There are many opinions and myths about silk pillowcases.
So here is the low down on the pro's and con's.

+

• Improves hair lustre and reduces tangles/ frizziness/ breakage
• Hair stays softer and smoother for a longer period
• 25 Momme Mulberry Silk - highest grade 6A long-fibre
• Requires less frequent washing than cotton
• Super soft, comfortable and incredibly smooth
• Hypoallergenic, non-irritating and dust mite resistant
• Temperature regulating for optimum sleep
• When following our care instructions, silk bedding can have a longer lifetime use than cotton
• Sustainable - producing 1kg of silk emits 800x less carbon than cotton and other fabrics
• Doesn't pollute our waterways with microplastics like polyester / synthetic fibres do

-

• Due to the intricate process of creating silk in terms of both time and skill, it has a larger upfront investment than other fabrics
• Requires some small additional care when washing (machine-washable).

Are silk pillowcases good for hair?

Yes, silk pillowcases are recommended by many top hairdressers as they preserve your hair's natural oils and moisture. This, along with its smooth action whilst sleeping, helps prevent breakage, matting, hair kinks, frizziness, and knotted hair in the morning.

Both oily, dry, curly and red hair alike all benefit from silk's natural properties. Many customers find it even extends their blow dry for a few days.

How does a silk pillowcase help with skincare?

A silk pillowcase helps with skincare by retaining your skin's natural moisture, as it is less absorbent than cotton.

It also creates a smoother surface for your skin, which reduces friction and helps prevent sleep creases and wrinkles.

Additionally, silk is hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial, and mite-resistant, which helps to keep your skin clean and clear.

Do silk pillowcases feel hot or cause sweating?

No, they don't. Quite on the contrary, the high quality silk we use is breathable and temperature regulating to maintain your optimum sleeping climate. If you overheat in the summer, silk is naturally cooling and vents excess heat. In the winter, it provides an insulation barrier if you're cold, creating an air pocket between the lattice structure to warm you up into that optimum temperature band.

With its calming and climate control properties, Mayfairsilk helps you enjoy a deeper, super comfortable sleep without disturbance.

How often should I wash my silk pillowcase?

It is recommended to wash your silk pillowcase every other week, depending on personal preference and skin sensitivity.

Silk has natural anti-bacterial properties and does not absorb as much moisture as cotton, so it does not need to be washed as frequently.

How to wash a silk pillowcase? Are they machine-washable?

Well, not all silk can be machine-washed, however Mayfairsilk most definitely is machine-washable! This makes it easy to care for when you follow a few simple care instructions:

1) Wash silk separately using a delicate detergent designed for silk/wool.
2) Our silk pillowcases, being 25 Momme can be machine-washed on a delicate cycle or hand-washed. We recommend using a delicates mesh laundry bag.
3) Do not use fabric softeners or optical brighteners. Do not tumble dry. For drying, simply place between two cotton towels and they will absorb 80% of the water out of the silk, then simply hang dry in the shade.
4) Iron inside out whilst slightly damp, or steam to relax any creases. Your body heat will also relax creases over a few days.
5) Bed making: Here is a quick and simple method for putting a silk pillowcase on a pillow without ‘tugging’, as that can cause tearing over time. Roll/scrunch the pillowcase into a ring (shaped like a doughnut). Now fold the pillow lengthwise and pinch in the middle, insert pillow into the pillowcase ring. Align the corners of the pillow with the end corners of pillowcase and unroll gently using your other hand. Once fully unrolled, align pillow corners and close the envelope pocket. Reshape and place on the bed.

Can I iron my silk pillowcase?

Yes, you can iron your silk pillowcase, but it is essential to use the lowest heat setting and iron the pillowcase inside out, preferably when still a little bit damp.

You can also use a high quality handheld steamer, utilising the silk attachment, or maintaining a slight distance from the silk to prevent the metal from directly contacting the silk.

What is momme and why is it important?

Momme is a unit of measurement used to measure the density of silk. It represents the weight of the silk in pounds, of a piece of fabric that is 45 inches wide and 100 yards long.

A higher momme weight means the silk is of higher quality and more durable.

Mayfairsilk pillowcases are made of 25 momme, which is approximately 108.5 g/m², ensuring superior quality and durability, while our bed sheets are made of 22 momme, which is approximately 95.48 g/m², a great balance between strength, aesthetics, and affordability.

Are Mayfairsilk pillowcases made from natural or synthetic silk?

Mayfairsilk pillowcases are crafted from pure, natural Mulberry silk.

We exclusively utilise grade 6A mulberry silk, and apply a unique finishing procedure to bestow a matte finish, guaranteeing the utmost quality and a sumptuous touch

What is the difference between a silk pillowcase and a satin pillowcase?

Silk is a natural protein fiber made by silkworms, while satin is a weave pattern that can be made from various materials, including silk, polyester, or acetate.

Satin pillowcases made from synthetic materials may not offer the same benefits as natural silk pillowcases, such as moisture-wicking, breathability, and hypoallergenic properties, or causing sweating. Learn more about silk vs satin.

Artificial silk is also not near as environmentally friendly as it purports to be - read here for ethics of silk and other textiles.

Is it appropriate to give just one silk pillow case as a gift and not a set?

We have found our customers gifting individual silk pillowcases to friends and relatives for birthdays, christmas and other important events as they are unique, thoughtful and beautifully packaged in individual gift boxes.
