Mulberry Silk Pillowcase
As a health author, I'll admit something that now seems ridiculous: I've always assumed that pillowcases are all the same. Sure, some are softer against your face or have a nice pattern, but aside from that, they're all just...material that covers your pillow, right? Wrong. When I consider how many hours, I spend pressing my hair and face against a pillowcase now, it's clear that the material matters.
I was surprised at how quickly my hair improved after switching from a cotton pillowcase to a mulberry silk pillowcase from Fishers Finery. Silk pillowcases are unquestionably the superior choice for beauty sleep.
I truly have no idea how I survived 44 years of cotton blend options. (If you're upgrading your bedding, it might be time for a new mattress as well.)
What exactly is a pillowcase made of mulberry silk?
There are many silk and satin pillowcases on the market, but not all of them meet Fishers Finery's luxurious standards. Mulberry silk is the highest quality available, known for its long individual fibres and uniform color, and is made by silkworms that only eat mulberry leaves.
The pillowcase is made of 100% long-strand grade 6A pure mulberry silk. The word "momme" refers to the weight of silk thread, and this version has a diameter of 25mm. So 25mm means it has 25 pounds of silk per 100 yards. There are also 19mm and 30mm sizes available from the company.
Benefits of Mulberry silk pillowcase:
There are numerous benefits to using a Fishers Finery silk pillowcase for your sleep, including the following:
Pros:
• Stays cool and is hypoallergenic
• Reduces friction-induced hair damage
• Aids in skin moisture retention
• Mulberry silk is 100 percent pure.
• The envelope closure keeps your pillow safely inside—no annoying zippers here!
• Standard, queen, and king pillow sizes are available (be sure to choose the right size)
Cons:
• You'd almost have to nitpick to find any flaws with this pillowcase, but some customers may object to:
• Dry cleaning or hand washing is recommended, but machine washing on gentle in a mesh bag is also acceptable.
• It is more expensive than traditional cotton/blend pillowcases (though more affordable than some higher-end brands.)
• Some beauty routines, such as slugging, have the potential to stain or ruin silk.
