Silk Pillowcase

Our silk pillowcase adds a touch of luxury to your bedroom, but it needs special care to maintain its best appearance. Here are our recommendations:

1. Hand-washing is preferred: Silk is sensitive to water, and hand-washing is the most gentle way to clean your pillowcase. Remember to not wring out the silk to avoid causing damage.


2. Gentle machine wash: If you prefer to machine-wash, please only use a gentle cycle. It's best to wash the silk pillowcase in a laundry bag to protect it from damage.


3. Use of pH-neutral detergent: A pH-neutral detergent is the best choice for silk care, helping to maintain its natural softness and shine.


4. You should not throw the Lilia silk pillowcase into the tumble dryer!


5. Post-washing: Silk may lose some of its soft texture after washing. But don't worry; a little trick can help here.
   
   Tip: Add a teaspoon of white vinegar to the final rinse. This helps maintain the silk's original condition, keeping it as soft and luxurious as on the first day.


6. When ironing, make sure to iron the cover only at the lowest temperatures.

As most silkworms feed on the leaves of the mulberry tree, it’s often referred to as mulberry silk.

Mulberry silk is a high-quality type of silk obtained from the cocoons of silkworms, also known as mulberry spinners.

The name comes from the diet of the silkworms. They feed exclusively on the leaves of the mulberry tree.

Mulberry silk is known for its smooth texture, durability, and thermoregulating properties. It is one of the most sought-after and luxurious types of silk used in the textile industry.

For our silk pillowcase, we chose only mulberry silk to provide you with the comfort you deserve.

Momme is the key to the secret of silk. It measures quality, weight, and density and is, in a way, the "quality mark" of silk - the higher the Momme, the higher the quality.

In silk products like pillowcases, a Momme weight from 19 and above is considered high-quality. At these weights, the silk is smooth, durable and has a beautiful, luxurious shine. Products with a lower Momme weight will be less durable and feel less smooth.

Our silk pillowcases come with a premium Momme value of 22, providing you with a soft, luxurious shine whilst also offering high durability.

Silk products are categorised into various quality grades. The A-grade is the highest form of silk; in other words, it's first class.

In addition to Grade A, there are also other classes: Grade B and Grade C. However, at Lilia Sleep, we only settle for the very best. The silk of our pillowcase is from the A-class.

Within Grade A, there are further subgrades: 6A, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, and A. Grade 6A is considered the highest quality among them.

Our silk pillowcase is, of course, made from 6A-grade silk...
