From curious to confident
The questions we hear most about our silk pillowcases.
Which size do I need?
Match your pillow: Standard is 51 x 66 cm (20 x 26 inch), Queen is 51 x 76 cm (20 x 30 inch) and King is 51 x 91 cm (20 x 36 inch). If you are between sizes, choose the larger one so the pillow is not squeezed.
Zipper or envelope closure?
The hidden zipper closes the pillow in completely, which is best if you move a lot in your sleep. The envelope closure is a fold-over flap with no hardware at all. Both use the same silk on both sides.
Is it real silk?
Yes. It is 100% mulberry silk in Grade 6A long fibre, not polyester satin. Satin is a weave, and most satin bedding is polyester; mulberry silk is a natural fibre.
What does momme mean, and which should I choose?
Momme is the weight of the silk: the higher the number, the denser the fabric. 19 momme is light and fluid, 22 is fuller, 25 is the heaviest. All of them are made to last, so choose by feel. The guide further up this page compares them side by side.
How do I wash silk?
Hand wash, or use a gentle machine cycle, in cold water with a pH-neutral silk detergent, ideally in a mesh laundry bag. No bleach or fabric softener. Dry it flat or on a line out of direct sunlight, and do not tumble dry.
Will silk make me too warm?
Silk is a natural, breathable fibre, so it is comfortable in every season. If you sleep warm, the lighter 19 momme is the airiest choice.
How long will it take to get my order?
Orders are dispatched within 0-72 hours. Delivery then takes 2-7 business days in the United States, 3-6 in Europe and 4-8 in the rest of the world. Every shipment is tracked, and you get the details at checkout and in your confirmation email.
