Pure Mulberry 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!

Silk pillowcases have become a must-have in the world of beauty sleep, and for good reason. Crafted from 100% mulberry silk, our pillowcases offer a luxuriously soft and smooth surface that’s gentle on both hair and skin. Unlike traditional cotton pillowcases, silk pillowcases help reduce friction, which means less frizzy hair and fewer sleep wrinkles when you wake up. This makes them especially beneficial for anyone with delicate skin, sensitive skin, or chemically treated hair. The natural fiber of mulberry silk also works to regulate your body temperature, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the night. With their ability to support hair health and prevent sleep wrinkles, pure silk pillowcases are a simple upgrade that can make a noticeable difference in your nightly routine.

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. For the best balance of softness and durability, look for pillowcases made from 100% Grade 6A Mulberry silk in a momme weight of 19-25.

At Mulberry Park Silks, our pillowcases are available in two elegant closure styles:

Envelope Closure: This classic design features an internal flap to securely hold your pillow in place without hardware. It’s minimalist, seamless, and ideal for anyone who prefers a traditional, fuss-free finish.

Zipper Closure: Our hidden zipper style is discreet and stylish, keeping your pillow fully enclosed and perfectly in place all night. A great choice for those who toss and turn or prefer a more tailored appearance.

Both styles are crafted from 100% pure Mulberry silk and offer the same luxurious benefits—your choice comes down to personal preference.

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 surface you sleep on truly matters. The difference between pure mulberry silk and common fabrics like cotton or satin is not subtle. Cotton pillowcases can bunch, crease, and pull against your skin and hair as you move throughout the night. Over time, this friction and moisture absorption can contribute to dryness, frizz, and visible sleep lines.

Silk pillowcases, by contrast, offer a naturally smoother surface that allows skin and hair to glide effortlessly. Mulberry silk also contains 18 naturally occurring amino acids that help support skin comfort and a healthy-looking complexion—making silk a beauty-forward choice for nightly rest.

Silk vs. Cotton Pillowcases

Cotton may be the most common bedding fabric, but it is not designed with skin and hair in mind. Cotton fibers are naturally absorbent, meaning they can draw moisture away from your face and hair while you sleep—absorbing your serums, creams, and conditioners instead of allowing them to remain where they’re needed most. Cotton also creates higher friction at the surface, which can lead to tangling, frizz, hair breakage, and the formation of sleep creases that can become more pronounced over time.

This difference isn’t just perceptible—it’s measurable. In independent laboratory testing, Mulberry Park Silks’ pure mulberry silk generated 34% less friction than cotton during controlled hair-to-fabric evaluations. Lower friction means less drag on hair and gentler contact with skin as you move overnight, helping reduce unnecessary mechanical stress that contributes to frizz, breakage, and creasing.

A pure mulberry silk pillowcase from Mulberry Park Silks provides a smooth, low-friction sleep surface that supports hydration and comfort without pulling or tugging. Because silk does not absorb moisture the way cotton does, it helps maintain your skin’s natural balance and your hair’s natural oils. This makes silk pillowcases especially beneficial for curly, textured, or fragile hair types, allowing curls to maintain their shape while minimizing friction-related frizz and breakage.

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 intentionally engineered sleep surface—one that has been independently tested and thoughtfully designed to support skin and hair wellness night after night.

It’s a small upgrade that delivers visible, long-term benefits—combining proven performance, indulgent comfort, and exceptional value in one beautifully crafted essential.

Unlike blends or synthetic fabrics, our silk is never diluted with polyester or treated with harsh chemicals. Our pillowcases are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, which means they’ve been tested for over 1,000 harmful substances and are perfect for even the most sensitive skin.

🧼 Carefully Crafted—and Easy to Care For

We want your pillowcase to look and feel beautiful for years. For best results, hand-wash your mulberry silk pillowcase in cold water using a mild neutral liquid detergent. If you prefer, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water, but always avoid hot water. Wash separately from other fabrics, especially rough fabrics like denim or linen, and do not soak dark-colored silk for more than five minutes to prevent dye transfer and fabric damage. Avoid machine drying, as heat can cause loss of softness and sheen—air dry your pillowcase in an area away from direct sunlight to preserve the silk’s integrity. Ironing silk is not recommended, but if necessary, use a low setting iron on the reverse side of damp silk. Wash your silk pillowcase as often as any other bedding or whenever a stain appears. With these care steps, your pillowcase will remain a nightly indulgence for many years.
