Benefits of sleeping on pure silk

Beautiful Glossy Hair · Glowing Skin · Cooler Sleep

Smooth Glossy Hair

Less friction than cotton so can reduce friction on your hair helping to tame that morning hair frizz.

Younger Looking Skin

Amazing beauty benefits helping to keep more moisture in the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Sleep Cooler

100% Mulberry silk has cooling properties helping you get a better night's sleep. Wake up refreshed and looking amazing!

For Every Sleeper

Who is a silk pillowcase for?

Whether you sleep hot, have sensitive skin, or simply want better hair — silk works for everyone. Here's who benefits most.

Frizzy or Curly Hair

Cotton pillowcases snag and rough up the hair cuticle overnight, causing frizz and breakage. Silk's smooth surface lets hair glide freely — you wake up with noticeably calmer, less tangled hair from the very first night.

Sensitive Skin & Eczema

100% Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites. Unlike cotton, it doesn't draw moisture away from the skin, making it ideal for anyone with eczema, rosacea, dry skin, or skin sensitivities.

Anti-Ageing & Skincare

Cotton absorbs your night creams and serums before they can work. Silk doesn't — your skincare stays on your face where it belongs. Less friction also means fewer sleep creases and reduced fine lines over time.

Hot Flushes & Night Sweats

Silk is naturally temperature-regulating. It absorbs warmth from your head while staying dry — perfect for menopausal hot flushes or anyone who sleeps warm. Unlike synthetic fabrics, it won't trap heat or feel damp.

Colour-Treated Hair

If you colour, highlight, or chemically treat your hair, it's more vulnerable to breakage. Silk dramatically reduces the overnight friction that causes split ends and colour fade, helping your style last longer between treatments.

The Perfect Gift

A silk pillowcase is one of those genuinely useful luxury gifts that people love but rarely buy for themselves. Beautifully presented, practical every single night, and suitable for all ages — a gift that keeps giving.

Know The Difference

Silk vs Satin pillowcase — what's the difference?

They may look similar, but they are very different. One is a natural fibre. The other is usually plastic.

Real Silk (what we sell)

  • Natural fibre from Mulberry silkworms
  • Naturally temperature-regulating
  • Hypoallergenic and breathable
  • Retains skin moisture overnight
  • Naturally resistant to dust mites
  • Long-lasting with correct care

Satin (usually polyester)

  • Synthetic fibre — usually plastic
  • Traps heat, sleeps warm
  • Can irritate sensitive skin
  • Absorbs moisture from skin
  • No natural allergen resistance
  • Pills and degrades quickly

Satin describes a weave pattern, not a material. Most cheap "satin" pillowcases are made from polyester — they look shiny but offer none of the real benefits of silk. Always check the label. If it doesn't say 100% Mulberry silk, it isn't silk.

Quality Explained

Why does 22 momme matter?

Momme (mm) is the weight measurement for silk — the higher the number, the thicker, heavier, and more durable the silk. Not all silk pillowcases are equal.

15–19mm

Entry Level

Thinner, less durable. More prone to tearing after washing. Often used by budget brands and high-street retailers.

Our Silk

22mm

The Sweet Spot

The ideal balance of softness, durability, and drape. Heavy enough to feel luxurious, smooth enough for real skin and hair benefits.

25mm+

Heavy Weight

Heavier and stiffer. Some find it less comfortable to sleep on. Usually commands a significant premium in price.

Our pillowcases are 22 momme — the same weight used by luxury brands charging £80–£110. The difference is we don't charge for the brand name.

Michelle's silk pillowcase story

Michelle's story

In 2016 I started my quest to find the world's finest silk. In 2018 silkpillowcase.co.uk started selling our 100% Mulberry Silk in the UK.

When it comes to investing in ourselves I can totally appreciate spending out on luxury bedding probably takes a great deal of thought, consideration and research.

This is why when investing in one of our Pure Silk Pillowcases I can guarantee you that the quality of silk and manufacture IS the highest quality.

It is 100% Grade A, Long Strand Mulberry Silk and if washed correctly, will last you for many years.

My promise to you is if you don't love your new bedding
(I'm pretty sure you will) simply send it back within 90 nights and I will give you a 100% refund.

Sleep on pure luxury!
(because you're worth it)

Do you wake up in the morning with a frizzy bird's nest on your head and more wrinkles than you went to sleep with?

According to dermatologists, sleeping on a cotton pillowcase and bedding draws moisture out of the skin, which can leave it dry, itchy, or irritated. In contrast, sleeping on a silk bed set can help your skin retain its natural moisture.

The lack of friction caused when using a 100% pure silk pillow case versus a cotton pillowcase has the effect of reducing fine lines and puffiness on your face when you wake up each morning.

Our pillowcases have a much smoother surface to slide across, and so fewer tangles occur. This in turn means fewer breakages and overall smoother hair. It where the saying beauty sleep comes from.

Sleep on silk and wake up looking amazing in 2026!

Wake up looking and feeling fabulous with glowing skin
and smoother, glossier hair.

Unlike synthetic fibres, natural mulberry silk doesn't cause unwanted
static electricity to build up while you sleep.

This keeps frizz at bay all night, and skin stays soft and supple.

Your Questions Answered

Frequently asked questions

Does sleeping on a silk pillowcase really make a difference?

Yes — and most people notice it from the very first morning. The key difference is friction. Cotton is a rough, absorbent fabric that drags on your hair and skin all night. Silk has a naturally smooth surface that lets your hair and skin glide freely, which means less frizz, fewer sleep creases, and better moisture retention. It also regulates temperature, so you sleep cooler. The benefits are cumulative — the longer you use it, the more noticeable the difference.

Silk pillowcase vs cotton — which is better?

For hair and skin, silk wins clearly. Cotton is highly absorbent, drawing moisture from both your skin and hair overnight, and its rough texture creates friction that causes frizz, tangles, and sleep creases. Silk does the opposite — it retains moisture, reduces friction, and regulates temperature. Cotton is cheaper and more durable for everyday bedding, but for a pillowcase — the one piece of bedding in direct contact with your face and hair for 8 hours — For a detailed look, read our full comparison of silk vs cotton pillowcases.

Will a silk pillowcase help with hot flushes and night sweats?

Silk is one of the best fabrics for hot flushes and night sweats. Unlike synthetic materials, natural Mulberry silk is naturally temperature-regulating — it absorbs warmth away from your head while remaining dry to the touch. It keeps you cool when you're warm and warm when you're cool. Many customers going through the menopause find it makes a significant difference to their comfort and sleep quality.

Are silk pillowcases good for eczema and sensitive skin?

Yes. 100% Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mould, and other common allergens — all of which can aggravate eczema and sensitive skin. Unlike cotton, silk doesn't absorb moisture from your skin, so it won't dry out or irritate it overnight. Many dermatologists recommend it for people with eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, or any kind of skin sensitivity.

Can a silk pillowcase reduce wrinkles?

Silk won't reverse existing wrinkles, but it can help prevent sleep-induced ones. Cotton pillowcases crease and pull the skin as you move in the night, creating those deep lines you wake up with. Over time, repeated friction can contribute to fine lines. Silk's smooth surface lets your skin move freely without creasing or tugging. It also keeps your skincare products — serums and night creams — on your face rather than absorbing them into the fabric.

Will a silk pillowcase help with frizzy or curly hair?

Yes — this is one of the most immediate and noticeable benefits. Cotton roughens the hair cuticle as you move in your sleep, causing frizz, tangles, and breakage. Silk's smooth surface lets hair glide without resistance, so you wake up with calmer, less tangled hair. It's especially effective for curly, coily, colour-treated, or fine hair that's prone to damage — many customers say it's the single biggest change they've made to their hair care routine.

Can a silk pillowcase help with hair loss and breakage?

It can help reduce breakage caused by friction, yes. Every time you move on a cotton pillowcase, the rough fibres snag and stress your hair. Over time this causes split ends, breakage, and can worsen thinning. Silk eliminates that nightly friction entirely. It won't address hair loss caused by medical conditions, but for mechanical breakage — the kind caused by friction and rough handling — it makes a real difference.

Are silk pillowcases worth the money?

For most people, yes. A quality 22 momme Mulberry silk pillowcase is in direct contact with your face and hair for around 2,500 hours a year. The cumulative effect on hair condition, skin moisture, and sleep comfort is genuine. Our pillowcases start from £32.95 — less than a single hair treatment or skincare product — and with proper care will last several years. We also offer a 90-night money-back guarantee, so there's no risk in trying. If you want to understand why Mulberry silk costs more than other fabrics and why that price is justified, we explain it in full.

What should I look for when buying a silk pillowcase?

Look for four things: 100% Mulberry silk — not a blend, not satin, not polyester. 22 momme weight — the ideal balance of softness and durability. Grade A silk — the highest classification, indicating long-strand fibres and minimal impurities. OEKO-TEX certification — independently tested to confirm it's free from harmful substances. Our pillowcases meet all four criteria.
