Silk & Satin Pillowcases

Developed thousands of years ago in ancient China, silk is derived from the natural protein fiber produced by silkworms. Pillowcases made from this material provide unrivaled smoothness. And smoothness matters, as by reducing friction and minimizing split ends, silk pillowcases offer compelling skin and hair benefits. With these cases, you can embrace the gentle, hypoallergenic properties of silk that cater to even the most sensitive skin.

Satin refers to a specific type of weave, rather than a material. Satin isn’t derived from 100% natural silk fibers, often being mixed with polyester or rayon. This blended satin weave imparts a similar smooth feel to silk at a lower price point. However, you can still enjoy the health benefits of a smoother, frizz-free sleep without compromising on affordability.

Our pillowcases are designed for easy washing. All options are machine washable on a delicate cycle, but you can still choose to hand wash. We recommend washing in cold water (86 F/ 30 C or lower) with a mild detergent. If machine washing, consider inserting your case into a mesh laundry bag.

Yes, both silk and satin pillows are hypoallergenic. The anti-bacterial fiber in these materials repels dust mites and other allergens, making them an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies.

Yes, both pillowcases offer similar skin and hair benefits. Both have a smooth surface that prevents hair breakage, reduces split ends, and minimizes wrinkles.

Our satin and silk pillowcases come in standard queen and king sizes. Ensure you select the size that best fits your bed dimensions.

Satin and silk pillowcases largely come with the same benefits, meaning you can experience a soft, blissful feel with either. Silk is generally more expensive due to its manufacturing process. Only a select few insects can produce silk, making it a prized and valuable material.

While satin is made from a blend of synthetic fabrics, it’s equally comfortable at an affordable price point.

The lifespan of your silk or satin pillowcase will depend largely on the level of maintenance and frequency of use. Here are our tips for extending the lifespan of your case:

• Hand wash or wash on a delicate cycle with protection
• Wash with cold water
• Use mild detergents and avoid harsh chemicals
• Regularly wash and rotate your pillowcase
• Keep your pillowcase away from direct sunlight
• Have multiple pillowcases to swap between

When combining these care efforts, you can extend the lifespan of your pillowcase by several years.

The number of silk or satin pillowcases you should buy will depend on personal preferences, your bedding style, desired longevity, and more. Here are some factors to help you decide:

• Bed Size: The larger the bed, the more pillowcases you might need to fill the space. Ensure you purchase the correct size pillowcase for your bed, and purchase enough to accommodate the empty space.
• Personal Preference: If you prefer matching pillowcases, buy a set for each pillow on your bed. Some people mix and match colors or designs for a personalized touch.
• Frequency of Pillowcase Changes: If you change pillowcases frequently, having multiple sets can extend the time between washes. This is especially beneficial for maintaining fabric quality.
• Bedding Style Rotation: If you regularly rotate bedding styles, having a spare set or two in different colors ensures you always have a clean and fresh pillowcase available to match your bed’s new look.
• Increased Longevity: By owning multiple pillowcases, you’re less likely to wear them out because it’s easier to wash and interchange them.

Overall, we recommend at least two sets of silk or satin pillowcases for each bed, allowing you to rotate them and maintain a fresh and comfortable sleeping environment.

The following colors are available:

• White satin pillowcase
• Pink satin pillowcase
• Dark Grey satin pillowcase
• Silver satin pillowcase
• White silk pillowcase
• Pink silk pillowcase
• Dark Grey silk pillowcase
• Silver silk pillowcase
