The Gift of Better Sleep: A Mulberry Park Silks Pillowcase

This article showcases some fabulous feedback about our silk pillowcases, with a special focus on the comfort factor and how they promote better rest.

If you're a regular visitor here, you know we are completely obsessed with the luxurious properties of our Mulberry Park Silks bedding. We are so fortunate to spend our days (and nights!) surrounded by silk and to enjoy its many beauty benefits. We've personally experienced the many wonderful results of sleeping on silk sheets and pillowcases, including healthier hair and skin; reduced frizz and breakage; and smoother skin around our eyes.

As you can imagine, we love sharing the gift of silk pillowcases with our family and friends. And nothing makes us happier than getting this type of email from our loved ones (in this case, a beloved uncle who "has everything" and is perennially hard to buy for):

"Thank you for the silk pillowcases. They are a treat. I don't know what it is about them but they make me sleep better and I just love them." -Uncle H. Venice, FL

Hooray for us! We delivered the gift of better sleep, wrapped up in a set of 22 momme Ivory silk pillowcases.

Benefits Beyond Beauty: The Secrets of Silk

Silk pillowcases definitely deliver a beauty boost. But it's also important to remember that pure silk promotes better rest and more comfortable sleep. Let's take a look at why that is.

Silk Naturally Regulates Body Temperature

Unlike cotton pillowcases that can trap heat and moisture, pure silk naturally regulates your body temperature throughout the night. As any hot sleeper knows, maintaining the right temperature is crucial for quality rest. Pure mulberry has unique thermoregulating properties that keep you cool when it's warm and cozy when it's cool. This natural temperature control comes from the structure of silk fabric itself - its fibers are moisture-wicking and allow proper airflow, helping you maintain optimal sleeping temperature. Our customers consistently report more comfortable nights, especially those who traditionally struggle with overheating or night sweats. The high-quality material works in harmony with your body's natural temperature fluctuations, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

An Indulgent Friction Free Surface

The smooth surface of our 100 mulberry silk pillowcase is a friction-free environment. Along with preventing bedhead, hair breakage, frizzy hair, and sleep wrinkles, the soft charmeuse weave makes for a gentle, comfortable surface that pampers even the most sensitive skin. If you've ever tossed and turned on your cotton pillowcase trying to get comfortable, it's time to switch to silk. (Bonus: silk is naturally hydrating. It won't absorb moisture, which means that any nighttime serums and products stay where they belong - on your skin, not absorbed into your pillowcase).

Silk is Naturally Hypoallergenic

One of silk's most impressive qualities is the fact that it is naturally hypoallergenic. Unlike other materials such as cotton or linen, silk pillowcases are inherently resistant to dust mites, mold, and other common allergens. This makes them an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies. The natural protein structure of mulberry silk, produced by silkworms, creates an environment that's inhospitable to common irritants. With proper care, these hypoallergenic properties will last throughout the lifetime of your pillowcase. Our clients with allergies or skin sensitivities rely on silk pillowcases to protect them from troublesome irritation and reactions while they sleep.

Mulberry Park Silks Clients Weigh in on Improved Comfort and Rest

With the unique properties of silk in mind, it's no surprise that our clients are letting us know how well they sleep and how comfortable our silk pillowcases are:

I tried this pillowcase for my skin and hair. But there is an added benefit. I am actually sleeping better. I thought I would have to get a new pillow. Couldn't get comfortable. I noticed the very first night I was more comfortable. Plan to order another soon. Thank you. -Connie R., 30 momme pillowcase

People who've slept on other brands of silk recognize the difference in Mulberry Park Silks quality:

I purchased the pink orchid pillow case for my mom for the holidays. She has slept on silk for several years but she said once she tried this pillow she will never go with another brand. She said it is the most comfortable pillow she has ever used! Not to mention how beautiful, vibrant and unique the design is. Worth every penny. BL, 22 momme pillowcase

And remember: only genuine silk delivers the beauty and wellness rewards you deserve. Take the advice of Jennie K, who upgraded to silk from synthetic satin.*

I will never buy a "Satin" pillowcase ever!!! These made by Mulberry Parks will be all I ever buy, the greatly affordable price and the quality of them is fantastic!!, Jennie K., 19 momme pillowcase

*Buyer Beware: Satin and silk are not the same thing. Silk is a natural, protein-based fiber while satin is a polyester nylon or rayon made from petroleum. Satin does not deliver the benefits of sleeping on real silk.

Our Clients Also Ask These Questions:

How do you wash a 100% silk pillowcase?

You can hand wash or machine wash a silk pillowcase using an enzyme-free detergent. Hang silk to dry away from sunlight indoors or outside. Never put silk in the dryer.

Which is better, a satin or silk pillowcase?

A silk pillowcase is much better than a satin pillowcase because it is made of natural, protein-based fiber. Silk is hydrating, hypoallergenic, smooth, and resistant to mold, bacteria, and dust mites. Satin is a synthetic fabric that is petroleum-based.

Is it better to sleep on a silk or cotton pillowcase?

Silk is better than cotton. Cotton retains moisture and the tiny fibers pull and tug on hair and delicate skin, leading to tangles, bedhead, and sleep wrinkles.

Can dust mites live on silk pillow cases?

Silk fabric is resistant to dust mites, mold, and bacteria and is hypoallergenic.

How many years do silk pillowcases last?

With proper care, silk pillowcases will last for several years.

Is mulberry silk real silk?

Yes, mulberry silk is real and will be labeled 100% silk. Genuine silk will also.

Does a silk pillowcase really help your hair?

Silk helps your hair retain moisture to prevent dryness and frizz while you sleep. The smooth surface of silk also means that your hair is protected from bedhead, breakage, and tangles.

Do silk pillowcases have to be real silk?

Yes. Only genuine silk delivers health and beauty benefits including temperature regulation; prevention of tangles, frizz and breakage; and minimizing sleep wrinkles.
