LOEL 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, Standard 20"x26", Hidden Zipper, Pearl White

A 19 momme mulberry silk pillowcase in Standard 20" x 26", finished with a concealed zipper. Woven from 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk, it turns the eight hours you spend asleep into the gentlest part of your routine - for your hair, your skin and your sleep temperature.

What 19 momme silk feels like

Momme (mm) measures the density of silk - the higher the number, the more silk in every square inch. At 19 momme with a 400 thread count equivalent, this is the sweet spot for everyday luxury: light, breathable and fluid rather than heavy, with a soft natural lustre and enough body to survive weekly washing. It is the weight most people choose as their first real silk pillowcase, and the one that works in every season.

A silk pillowcase for curly, fine and colour-treated hair

Cotton absorbs moisture and drags across the hair; silk does the opposite. Its friction coefficient against skin is only about 7.4% - the lowest of any natural fibre - so your hair glides over the surface instead of being pulled. In practice that means less morning frizz, fewer tangles, less breakage, and no more waking up with a matted crown. Curly, coily, fine and colour-treated hair all benefit.

Kinder to skin: fewer sleep creases and less moisture loss

Because silk absorbs far less moisture than cotton, the moisturiser and night serum you apply stays on your skin instead of soaking into the pillowcase. Silk is composed of natural protein fibres containing 18 amino acids, which is why it feels so compatible with skin - and why it is frequently recommended for sensitive, breakout-prone and eczema-prone complexions. The smooth surface also means fewer sleep creases pressed into your cheeks overnight.

Naturally temperature-regulating: cool in summer, warm in winter

Silk is a thermoregulating fibre: it releases heat when you are warm and holds it when you are cool. The surface stays noticeably cool to the touch in summer yet never feels clammy, which makes this a genuine four-season pillowcase rather than a summer-only purchase - and a practical choice if you sleep hot.

Hidden zipper, secure fit

A concealed zipper runs along one end, so the case closes flush with no gap and no flap. Your pillow stays exactly where you put it - no slipping out during the night - and the finished look is clean and tailored. Inserting and removing the pillow for washing takes seconds.

Gentle on sensitive skin

Naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, and gentle enough for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.

Silk pillowcase care instructions

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, ideally inside a mesh laundry bag, or hand wash in cool water. Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent formulated for silk. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry - air dry away from direct sunlight. Cool iron on the reverse side if needed. Wash with similar colours.
