Best Silk Pillowcases: What Actually Matters

A silk pillowcase is often the easiest entry into silk bedding because it is smaller, simpler to wash and less expensive than a full sheet set.

Verify it is silk

Satin pillowcases may feel smooth but can be made from polyester. If you want silk specifically, verify the fiber content.

Check the closure

Zippers and envelope closures create different feel and convenience. Make sure any hardware is positioned comfortably.

Use momme as context

Momme can help compare silk density, but do not ignore stitching, sizing and care.

Match your pillow

Standard, queen and king pillow dimensions differ. Measure if your pillow is unusually lofty.

Promeed option

Promeed’s broader catalog currently includes mulberry-silk pillowcases alongside its sheets and duvet covers.
