How to Choose the Best Silk Pillowcase
If you’ve ever wondered why silk pillowcases have become a must-have for beauty sleep, the answer is simple: they feel incredible and they treat your hair and skin with the gentleness they deserve. But not all silk is created equal. With so many options on the market, choosing the right pillowcase can feel confusing—so we’ve broken down exactly what to look for to make sure you’re getting true luxury, not just a shiny fabric.
At Homebdy, we believe the items you use every day should elevate your life. Here’s how to choose a silk pillowcase that delivers comfort, quality, and care.
Your Silk Pillowcase Checklist
When shopping, use this checklist to make sure you’re getting the best:
Choose mulberry silk – This is the highest-quality silk, known for its smoothness, durability, and consistent fiber quality.
Look for 22-momme weight – 22-momme is the gold standard: thick enough to be long-lasting and luxurious, but still breathable.
Check for OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification – This ensures the fabric has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for skin and hair.
Seek ethical production standards – Ensure the brand pays fair wages and provides responsible working conditions.
Explore the company’s sustainability values – Look for brands committed to eco-friendly practices, responsible sourcing, and long-term environmental care.
Pick a pillowcase without a zipper – Hardware can snag or tug at hair, leading to unnecessary breakage. An envelope closure keeps things smooth and snag-free.
Find a touch of individuality – Whether it’s a unique color, monogramming, or craftsmanship details, choose a pillowcase that feels like a personal luxury designed just for you.
The Bottom Line
A great silk pillowcase should feel incredible, support your beauty routine, and align with your values. When you choose thoughtfully, you’re not just buying bedding—you’re upgrading your nightly ritual. And you deserve that kind of everyday luxury.
