The Rackhams Ivory Mulberry Silk Pillowcase Pair is designed for individuals seeking a touch of luxury and improved sleep quality. Its key benefit is the sumptuously smooth feel of pure Mulberry silk, which helps maintain skin and hair hydration and offers natural temperature regulation. A potential caveat is the delicate nature of silk, requiring specific care to maintain its luster and longevity.

'Momme' (pronounced 'mommy') is a unit of weight used to measure the quality and density of silk fabric. A higher momme count indicates a heavier, more durable, and often more lustrous silk. 19 momme is considered a good quality weight for silk pillowcases.
Yes, you can machine wash them on a delicate or silk cycle using cold water (maximum 30°C) and a mild, silk-specific detergent. Always avoid bleach and harsh chemicals. It is recommended to place them in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
It's generally recommended to wash silk pillowcases once a week or every two weeks, depending on personal preference and usage, to maintain hygiene and preserve the fabric's quality.
Silk pillowcases are beneficial for most hair types, especially those prone to frizz, dryness, or breakage. The smooth surface reduces friction, helping to minimize tangles and preserve hair's natural moisture. Some users with very fine or slippery hair might find their hair shifts more during sleep.
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, and its smooth surface creates less friction on the skin. This can be beneficial for acne-prone skin as it may reduce irritation and help retain skin's natural moisture, potentially leading to fewer breakouts for some individuals.
Mulberry silk is produced by the Bombyx mori silkworm, which feeds exclusively on mulberry leaves. This results in the longest and finest silk fibers, creating a smoother, stronger, and more uniform fabric compared to silks from other sources.
It is not recommended to apply essential oils or perfumes directly onto silk pillowcases, as they can stain or damage the delicate fibers and natural sheen of the fabric.
Ensure you are using a silk-specific detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals. Rinse with a small amount of white vinegar in the final rinse water to help restore luster. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.
This can happen if too much detergent is used or if the fabric is over-rinsed. Try a gentler wash with less detergent and ensure thorough rinsing. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can damage silk fibers.
Silk is naturally odor-resistant, but if an odor persists, ensure it is aired out thoroughly. Wash according to care instructions with a silk-friendly detergent. Avoid storing in damp or poorly ventilated areas.
Gently try to move the zip. If it snags, check for fabric caught in the teeth. You can lubricate the zip slightly with a graphite pencil or a tiny amount of beeswax. Avoid forcing the zip.
Setup: Simply insert your standard-sized pillow into the silk pillowcase, ensuring it lies flat. Secure the pillowcase using the integrated zip closure.
Compatibility: These pillowcases are designed for standard-sized pillows. Please check dimensions if using non-standard pillow inserts.
