TOP 4 BEST SILK PILLOWCASES FOR SKIN AND HAIR
                     TOP 4 BEST SILK 
PILLOWCASES 
            FOR SKIN AND HAIR
Swapping out your cotton pillowcase for a pure silk pillowcase is by far 
  
the easiest, most hassle-free way of boosting your beauty game. When 
put up against any other type of pillowcase out there, silk always wins 
out.
Cotton vs Silk Pillowcase
The benefits of a silk pillowcase cannot be overstated. 
Cotton pillowcases, though popular, can actually be 
damaging to hair and skin for the following reasons:
1. Cotton creates friction that leads to both bed-head 
and irreparable damage to hair overtime. Not a good 
look.
2. Cotton conducts heat that detracts from your beauty 
sleep and causes night sweats. Totally not cool (pun 
intended.)
3. Cotton absorbs moisture from your skin that is 
essential for keeping your skin vivacious as you age. It 
quite literally sucks!
On the other hand, silk is naturally smooth, non-
 absorbent, and temperature -regulating, not to mention 
hypoallergenic. Compared to common cotton 
pillowcases, silk pillowcases are great for improving the 
look and feel of your hair and skin, stay cleaner, and feel 
amazing to sleep on.
Satin vs Silk Pillowcase
That said, not all silk pillowcases are the same. Some 
silk pillowcases are made with lower-grade silk or 
contain hardly any real silk at all! Many “silk pillowcase” 
sellers online market their pillowcases as silk, when 
really they’re made out of satin or a mix of silk and satin 
(often misleadingly referred to as Charmeuse silk.)
Though marketed as a cheaper alternative to pricey pure 
silk, satin doesn’t come anywhere near delivering the 
benefits of a silk pillowcase. The reason for this is that 
while silk is made from nature, out of silkworm cocoons, 
satin is synthetically produced from polyester, a material 
made from oil. So, a satin vs silk pillowcase proves 
inferior across the spectrum. A satin pillowcase is not 
hypoallergenic, does not feel or look as lavish as silk, 
and cannot claim the multitude of beauty benefits of a 
 100% silk pillowcase for hair  and skin.

Factors To Consider Before 
Buying a Silk Pillowcase
When browsing silk pillowcases online, you’ll find that 
different brands are made from a multitude of different 
types of silk. The single best type of silk is mulberry, and 
we recommend only purchasing a mulberry silk 
pillowcase. The reason for this is that mulberry silk is 
made entirely naturally from silkworms that live in a 
highly-regulated environment and eat strictly mulberry 
leaves. This process ensures that the mulberry silk 
strands are long, uniform, and perfect. Silk pillowcases 
made from other types of silk, like Tussah, are woven 
from shorter, more varied, imperfect silk strands 
because the silkworms that produce it are not bred in 
captivity in such a controlled manner.
Fabric weight – known as momme in the silk world – also 
plays a role in determining the quality of a silk 
pillowcase. Momme in the silk industry is akin to thread 
 count in the cotton busines s. The higher the momme, 
the heavier the fabric, meaning more silk was used in 
production. Higher momme silk pillowcases are more 
luxurious
1. Slip 
Slip is the first brand of mulberry silk pillowcase on our 
list, and by far, this one has generated the most buzz 
online. Perhaps this is because divas like Kourtney 
Kardashian have boasted about the brand, and Slip has 
won awards from mags like Allure and Good 
Housekeeping.
2. Shhh Silk 
Shhh Silk is a similar silk brand to Slip in that one of 
their main selling points centers around endorsements 
from high-profile celebrities and beauty magazines.
The exact Shhh Silk mulberry silk pillowcase we tested 
was the Pink Zippered Queen Silk Pillowcase.
The Look: Just like Slip, Shhh Silk’s silk pillowcases 
come in all sorts of colors and patterns. The ShhhSilk 
pillowcase we tested was a very light pink shade. 
 Compared to the others, S hhh Silk’s pillowcase was 
the least shiny.
3. Blissy 
Blissy is another textile brand that sells 100% pure 
mulberry silk pillowcases with great ratings, according to 
online Blissy silk pillowcase reviews.
We got our hands on Blissy’s Pink Queen Pillowcase to 
see how it compares against the rest.
The Look: Blissy sells three sizes of silk pillowcases 
(Standard, Queen, and King) in several color options. The 
pink Blissy silk pillowcase we picked up was a slightly 
darker rose pink shade than Slip. It was about on-par 
with Slip in terms of shininess, and just like Slip had a 
sewed-on logo in its top corner.
The Feel: Compared against Slip, which is Good 
Housekeeeping’s Smoothest Silk Pillowcase, Blissy felt 
only a tad less smooth. When sleeping on Blissy vs Slip, 
 there is only a slight differen ce in softness and silky feel.
