FAQ

What type of silk is best for pillowcases ?

Mulberry silk, also called Mulberry silk, is considered the best for pillowcases. It comes from silkworms fed exclusively on white mulberry leaves, which gives it unrivaled softness, shine and resistance. Its extra long fibers allow a weaving of great finesse and regularity, for an incomparable silky touch.

What is the best quality of silk ?

To fully benefit from the benefits of silk, it is essential to choose superior quality. Choose a silk of at least 22 momme (mm), which refers to the weight of the fabric. The higher the number of mommes, the finer, softer and stronger the silk. The ideal is to opt for 25 momme silk, which offers an ultra silky feel and optimal durability.

What is the best pillowcase for hair ?

If you have long, fragile or frizz-prone hair, a pure silk pillowcase is your best friend. Its smooth and soft surface limits friction on the lengths during the night, thus reducing breakage, knots and the "busy" effect when you wake up. Your hair will be shinier, softer and easier to style.

Which is better for your hair, silk or satin ?

Although satin is often touted as an alternative to silk, it does not offer the same benefits for your hair. Satin is actually a type of weave and not a raw material. It can be made from synthetic fibers like polyester, which lack the natural properties of silk. To pamper your hair, pure silk remains the best choice.

What are the main benefits of a silk pillowcase ?

A natural silk pillowcase is a true beauty ally thanks to its many properties:

• Its smooth and soft surface limits friction on the skin of the face during the night. Goodbye to wrinkles and fine lines when you wake up!
• It preserves the skin's natural hydration thanks to its amino acids which act as real humidity sensors.
• Its smooth structure reduces friction on the hair, thus limiting breakage, split ends and unsightly frizz.
• Hypoallergenic and breathable, it prevents irritation and is ideal for the most sensitive skin.

What is the difference between mulberry silk and other silks ?

Not all silks are equal! mulberry silk (bombyx mori) is considered the crème de la crème because:

• It comes from silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, hence its great finesse and resistance.
• Its extra long fibers (up to 1.5 km!) allow weaving with great regularity and incomparable softness.
• Its natural pearly white color gives it an inimitable shine, even without dye. Conversely, wild silks (tussah, muga, eri) from other species of worms are coarser and irregular.

How long does a silk pillowcase last ?

With proper maintenance, you will be able to enjoy the benefits of your silk pillowcase for many years (around ten years on average). A few simple gestures are enough:

• Wash it by hand or in the machine cold (30°C max) with a special silk detergent.
• Avoid wringing which could stretch the fibers and prefer drying flat on a towel.
• Iron only at low temperature (gentle iron) if necessary.
• Store it away from direct light and humidity to preserve its shine.

Is a 100% silk pillowcase really breathable ?

Yes, and it's even one of its greatest assets! Unlike cotton or polyester, pure silk lets your skin breathe perfectly during the night:

• Its hollow fibers allow optimal air circulation, avoiding any suffocating effect.
• It can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without ever making you feel like you're sweating.
• It adapts to your body temperature, bringing you freshness in summer and gentle warmth in winter. With a silk pillowcase, you will enjoy a dry sleep, summer and winter!

What type of closure to choose for a silk pillowcase ?

Two options are available to you: the zipper or the flap. A matter of taste which should not come at the expense of quality!

• Prefer a YKK slide (world leader in closures) which does not squeak or open. The ideal is for it to be hidden in a hem for a more chic look.
• If you opt for a flap, check that it is wide enough to hold your pillow in place. Double flaps are the safest. The main thing is to choose a neat and solid finish that will withstand your most restless nights!
