Shop Pure Silk Pillowcases

Nothing on earth compares to sleeping on a pure mulberry silk pillowcase. They're chic, comfortable, and the very definition of luxurious. Even better: they're great for your hair and skin. Wake up with fewer tangles, less frizzy hair, and minimal bed head. Our friction-free silk even helps to prevent sleep wrinkles!

What Momme Weight Silk Pillowcase Is Right for You?

At Mulberry Park Silks, our pillowcases come in three momme weights, ranging from 19 to 30 momme (mm), a unit of measurement that denotes the weight of silk. As momme increases, silk is heavier, denser in weave, and more costly. In this way, momme silk is similar to thread count for cotton sheets.

Learning a bit about the different momme silk weights can help you identify the silk pillowcase that works best for your personal preferences and budget.

Envelope vs. Zippered Closures: Which Should You Choose?

Why Choose a Silk Pillowcase Over Cotton or Satin?

Not all pillowcases are created equal—and when it comes to your skin, hair, and overall sleep quality, the difference between real silk, cotton, and satin is dramatic.

Silk vs. Cotton Pillowcases

Cotton may be the most common bedding fabric, but it's far from the best when it comes to caring for your skin and hair. Cotton pillowcases are naturally absorbent—they pull moisture from your face and hair while you sleep. That means your expensive serums, creams, and conditioners end up soaked into your pillow instead of staying on your skin and strands where they belong. Cotton also creates friction, which can lead to frizz, tangles, and sleep creases that deepen into wrinkles over time.

A pure mulberry silk pillowcase from Mulberry Park Silks provides a gentle, friction-free surface that keeps your skin hydrated and your hair smooth. Silk doesn’t absorb moisture the way cotton does, which makes it a favorite among dermatologists and beauty professionals. It's a nightly upgrade with long-term beauty benefits.

Silk vs. Satin Pillowcases

Satin might look similar to silk at a glance, but don't be fooled—most satin pillowcases are made from synthetic fibers like polyester. While they may feel smooth, they lack the natural temperature regulation, breathability, and protein-rich benefits of genuine silk.

Polyester satin can trap heat and moisture, leading to uncomfortable nights and potential skin irritation. It also lacks the natural luster, softness, and durability of real Mulberry silk. And over time, cheap satin pillowcases often pill, stretch, or lose their shape after repeated washing.

A Mulberry Park silk pillowcase is made from 100% Pure Grade 6A Mulberry silk, the highest-quality silk available. It’s OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, free from harmful chemicals, and luxuriously soft without compromise.

The Bottom Line

Silk is a natural fiber. Cotton and satin are not. When you choose a silk pillowcase from Mulberry Park Silks, you're choosing a breathable, hypoallergenic, and indulgent sleep experience that supports your skin and hair health. It’s a small change that delivers beautiful results—night after night.
