Silk & Satin Pillowcases
Indulge in sleepytime luxury with our exquisite silk and satin pillowcases. Crafted from the finest natural protein fiber, our silk pillowcases boast the unparalleled quality of mulberry silk. Drift into a world of serenity as you experience the smooth feel and luxurious touch of the ideal pillowcase.
Silk Vs. Satin Pillowcases
Silk and satin pillowcases each offer a unique sleeping experience. While both are similar, it’s important to choose the pillowcase that’s right for you.
Silk Pillowcase
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 Pillowcase
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.

Buy Guide For Silk and Satin Pillowcases
When purchasing one of our cases, the material you choose will depend on your needs. First, consider hair care and skincare:
Hair Care
To keep your hair as healthy as possible and avoid frizz, we recommend purchasing a silk pillowcase. Real silk has an enhanced natural moisturizing factor (NMF), offering heightened benefits for your hair.
Skincare
Similarly, silk is also the most beneficial option if you’re looking to avoid wrinkles and reduce dry skin. Silk’s NMF moisturizes your skin while you sleep, offering the most profound skincare benefits.
Other Considerations:
We recommend the following guidelines:
- Materials: If you’re interested in natural materials, we recommend a silk pillowcase. Silk is made from material produced by silkworms, while satin is produced from a combination of man-made fibers.
- Temperature Regulation: If you want your pillowcase to keep you cool at night, we recommend choosing silk. While both silk and satin are breathable, silk is better at cooling you down on a hot day.
- Care: If your priority is easy washing, we recommend a satin pillowcase. While both are machine washable, silk is more delicate than satin, and requires more gentle care when washing.
- Budget: If you’re on a budget and want the best quality for less, we recommend a satin pillowcase. Satin is more affordable than silk, with many of the same properties.

When combining these care efforts, you can extend the lifespan of your pillowcase by several years.
How many silk or satin pillowcases should I buy?
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:

- 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.
