1. Cotton Steals Your Skincare
Cotton absorbs moisture and product like a sponge. That serum you applied before bed? Gone. Silk’s non-absorbent fibers let your creams actually work overnight instead of disappearing into your pillow.

2. Friction Creates Fine Lines
Cotton grips. Silk glides. Eight hours of rubbing against rough fabric creates tiny creases that deepen over time. When you switch to silk, you’re cutting down on mechanical skin stress and quite literally aging slower in your sleep.

3. Bedhead Starts Here
That morning frizz isn’t from your shampoo — it’s from your pillowcase. Silk reduces friction by up to forty-three percent, protecting the hair cuticle and preventing breakage while you toss and turn.

4. Cooler, Drier, Deeper Sleep
Silk naturally regulates temperature and moisture. It keeps you cool in summer, cozy in winter, and blissfully dry all night long. Cotton, on the other hand, traps heat and sweat.

5. Naturally Hypoallergenic
Silk resists dust mites, mold, and bacteria, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Cotton simply can’t compete.

A Final Note...

A lot of the “silk pillowcases” you see on Amazon and other big marketplaces aren’t silk at all. They’re polyester satin — plastic with a shine. It looks smooth in photos, but it traps heat, absorbs oils, and does nothing for your skin or hair. Even when brands do use real silk, most use:

• Low momme (thin, wears out fast)
• Mixed fibers (silk blended with synthetics)
• No grade or certification listed (because it wouldn’t impress you)

At Mulberry Silks Co. We use:

• 100% Pure Mulberry Silk
• Grade 6A (highest grade available)
• 22–25 momme density for real longevity
• OEKO-TEX certified dyes and finishes

No blends. No satin. No plastic pretending to be silk. If you’re going to upgrade your sleep, get the silk that actually makes a difference.
