Product Information

Experts tend to recommend changing out your pillowcase often—from every 3 days to weekly—for hygienic reasons. When it comes to keeping your pillowcase clean, you’ll want to decide what is most convenient for you: Are you someone who is okay with hand washing your pillow every several days, or do you want the ease of using a washing machine? Lulusilk's pillowcase was incredibly silky for the price which was a blessing for smooth, crease-free skin. Our tester's hair also had noticeably less frizz than when sleeping on a cotton pillowcase, which is another big plus. However, we found it to be a bit too slippery for the most comfortable sleep, in comparison to the other options on the higher end of the budget. What is the ‘momme’ rating? The usual range is about 15-25. Higher numbers mean they are heavier, more durable and usually more expensive. The majority of the silk pillowcases we found on sale in the UK had a momme rating of 19 whilst some were 22 and 25.

For best results, hand wash with cold water and a PH-neutral detergent," advises Siobhan. When hand-washing it is advisable to use a very mild detergent to prevent any damage. You should also wash at a cool temperature when using the washing machine. Another customer mentioned how the pillow has helped her skin—including banishing those annoying sleep lines that show up when your face is planted against a wrinkled cotton pillowcase. It is also important to be made aware that silk pillowcases are graded in “mommes” this pretty much indicates the weight. 12-19 mommes is considered high quality.

Needless to say, it’s 100% mulberry silk. You won’t be getting any cheap blended material for this price. You’ll have no trouble getting your beauty sleep with the Lilysilk pillowcase. This innovative company has created a case in a range of colours that combines all the benefits of breathable cotton, with luxurious silk. One side is satin soft silk made with organic and breathable material that helps to reduce wrinkles and creases in your skin.

You can hand-wash LilySilk pillowcases at 30°C or machine-wash cold on the gentlest cycle available, but professional dry cleaning is recommended. 🧼 It’s so important to make sure your silk pillowcase fits properly on your pillow. Hill often sees pillows half out and partially exposed, which can create friction that can snag on or pull hair and rough up the cuticle, which can be detrimental over time. “Most people don’t sleep like a delicate princess, so you want to do things that are going to be more protective of the scalp when you’re sleeping,” she says. “It’s going to reduce friction and allow better circulation in the scalp.” Care Better absorption of skincare products—if your bedtime routine involves layering active serums and nurturing moisturizers onto your face, a silk pillowcase can help these products work their magic. Cotton pillowcases are hyper absorbent and soak up the moisture our skin and hair crave. But silk is far less absorbent, meaning that the products we apply to our skin stay there, rather than transferring onto the pillowcase. Satin pillowcases can also offer similar benefits at a lower price, too.Silk protects your skin by giving it a softer surface to rub against. What’s more, silk helps to regulate your temperature too, so you’re less likely to end up puffy throughout the night. When you’re looking for the best silk pillowcases, sheets, and duvet covers, remember to search for something that’s great for maintaining softer hair too. Choosing the Best Silk Pillowcase The real advantage though is the range of 20 different designs and colours, which is far better than any other silk pillowcase company we’ve found. Also, some of the designs are rather funky and unusual rather than the usual plain colours. Feeling fresh, alert and ready to take on the day, you catch a glance of yourself in the mirror and see crumpled pillowcase lines across your face and bed hair so bad, you look like you’ve been working on a felting project all night and got tangled up in it while you were asleep. A number of relevant studies have been carried out into the impact of switching to silk bedding and materials. A lot of the research has looked at silk’s value for dealing with skin conditions such as acne but the findings are still worth a mention. Slip has an almost cult-like following from celebs and dermatologists alike, and it's no surprise, as the brand has been refining its design for many years. And it certainly seems to have paid off.
