Safety

Silk is naturally fire retardant material which makes it a wonderful choice as bedding. It is highly recommended for babies and children.

Easy Care

SilkPerfect pillowcases can be machine washed on the gentle or hand washable cycle of your washing machine using a gentle soap and cool water (around 30°C). Then they should be air dried out of direct sunlight which won't take long because silk dries fast.

Are they really silk?

Yes - SilkPerfect's pillowcases are 100% pure, natural silk direct from the Far East. Our exact "momme" and treatment are a secret, but they are not the shiny, satiny type of silk you may fear! Our constitution means your pillowcases are durable, soft, caring and luxurious: specially designed for your skin and bedroom.

Silk Benefits

Skincare

Ask your dermatologist or beautician: the essential amino acids in silk are great for skin and are increasingly included in moisturisers and hair care products. Pure silk can help delay skin ageing as well as being beneficial for hair. You may not wish to spend many hundreds on silk duvets, sheets and coverings... but you can benefit your face and hair immediately with affordable SilkPerfect pillowcases.

Haircare

How many hair care products promote "hair like silk" or profess silk content? This is because for centuries silk has been used to protect and enhance the shininess and quality of hair. The proteins and anti-frizz in our pillowcases that beauty products strive to replicate will ensure that your hair looks more beautiful than ever from the moment you wake.

Hypoallergenic

Silk is a natural occurring string of amino acids and proteins making up the cocoon of the silkworm. Unravelling the cocoon into up to a mile of silk thread is a gentle process that retains natural substances, particularly the amino acid containing protein sericin. Microscopic dust mites and fungi are repelled by silk which means that those suffering from asthma and other allergies benefit.

Durability

Cultivated silk is more durable than wild silk because silkworms grown in captivity are fed an exclusive diet of mulberry leaves and care is taken to ensure the cocoon each of the silkworms weaves is kept intact to that when it is softened and unwound into a silk thread filament it stays in once piece. A single cocoon of a cultivated silkworm can be up to 1,600 yards long, and a thread of silk is stronger than a thread of steel of the same diameter!

Silk thread is typically four-eight silk thread filaments twisted together. Silk naturally tends to adhere to itself so silk filaments bond - making them less likely to pull apart even after years of use.

100% silk's natural fungal repellence and lack of chemicals in processing means that it doesn't deteriorate and is mould and mildew resistant.
