Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the pillowcase machine washable?

Yes, but it must be washed on a gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag using a silk-safe detergent to prevent damage.

What does 19mm mean?

The 'mm' stands for momme, which measures the weight and density of the silk. 19mm is considered a standard, durable weight for high-quality silk bedding.

Does this pillowcase have a zipper?

No, it features an envelope-style closure, which uses a fabric flap to secure the pillow instead of hard hardware.

Will the blue print fade in the wash?

To prevent fading, always wash in cool water and avoid direct sunlight when drying.

Is silk better than satin?

Silk is a natural protein fiber that is more breathable and temperature-regulating than synthetic satin.

Troubleshooting

Pillowcase has visible wrinkles after drying.

Use a garment steamer on the lowest setting or iron the pillowcase while it is slightly damp to smooth out fibers without damaging them.

The silk feels less soft after several washes.

Ensure you are using a detergent specifically formulated for silk. Standard detergents contain enzymes that break down silk proteins over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons

  • Requires hand washing or gentle machine settings to maintain silk integrity
  • 19mm silk is delicate and can snag if handled roughly
  • Slippery texture may take time to adjust to if used to cotton

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your silk pillowcase, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: It is best to hand wash in cool water using a pH-neutral silk detergent. If using a machine, place the pillowcase inside a mesh laundry bag and select the 'Delicate' or 'Silk' cycle with the lowest spin speed.
  2. Drying: Never tumble dry silk. Gently roll the pillowcase in a clean towel to remove excess moisture and hang it to air dry away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue print.
  3. Ironing: If needed, iron on the lowest heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a steamer to remove wrinkles.
  4. Compatibility: Ensure you check the dimensions of your specific pillow insert to guarantee a perfect fit within the envelope closure.
