Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, 22 Momme, UK Sizes

The same silk we use on our fitted sheets, cut to fit a UK pillow. Less friction than cotton means hair tangles less overnight and skin isn't dragged into creases while you turn over.

• 22 momme 100% mulberry silk, both sides — not silk on the front and cotton on the back
• Hidden zip so the pillow stays put and there's nothing to catch on
• Cut to UK pillow sizes. A UK Standard pillow is 50 x 75 cm; American pillows are a different shape and will sit loose
• Naturally temperature-regulating, so it doesn't trap heat the way brushed cotton does
• Arrives folded in a fabric envelope — it gives well as a present

Which size do I need?

Measure the pillow. UK Standard 50 x 75 cm — this is what most UK pillows are. UK King 50 x 90 cm.

Looking after it

Hand wash cool, or machine wash on a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag with a pH-neutral or silk detergent. Do not tumble dry or bleach. Line dry out of direct sunlight. Cool iron on the reverse if you need to.

Comparable 22 momme silk pillowcases from UK specialist brands run from £45 to £85.
