Did you know that a silk pillowcase is a real beauty treatment? Unlike a regular pillowcase, a silk pillowcase takes care of you while you sleep. Skeptical? We’ll explain everything.
What are the properties of silk?
Silk is a soft and durable material, recognized for millennia not only for its physical properties but also for its health-promoting qualities.
First, silk is insulating, making it the perfect filling for high-end duvets and pillows.
Furthermore, its softness and luxurious feel are highly prized in luxury clothing and bedding.
Finally, few people are aware of silk’s beneficial properties for the skin. In fact, as a true beauty ally, it does not irritate the skin and also protects both the skin and hair from dehydration. Silk bedding therefore not only provides a sense of luxury and indulgence but also offers comfort and beneficial properties.
Silk pillowcases: luxury that’s finally affordable
In recent years, major brands have been selling silk pillowcases with heavy marketing campaigns and excessive packaging, primarily through expensive retail channels.
By cutting out all these unnecessary costs, Maison de la soie offers silk pillowcases of the same quality at a price two to three times lower.
What is the best silk?
The quality of silk varies mainly depending on the species of moth that produces it. The most well-known type of silk is mulberry silk. It comes from the cocoons of Bombyx mori silkworms, which feed exclusively on mulberry leaves. The fibers of this silk are strong, have a consistent diameter, and are a slightly ivory-white, lustrous color.
This type of silk is completely different from raw silk or tussah silk, which do not share the same properties or appearance.
Next, the selection of mulberry silk fibers of varying lengths determines the grade.
Finally, it is important to choose fabric that is thick enough to withstand repeated cares.
On our website, you’ll find Grade A silk bedding with a thread count of 19 mommes that’s perfectly suited for machine care. This way, you’ll avoid the hassle of hand care, which is recommended for thread counts below 16 mommes.
Which color should you choose?
We’ve chosen to offer products that are as natural as possible. That’s why you’ll mainly find undyed silk bedding on our website. The natural color of silk is a white with a slight ivory tint. This soothing color is obviously gentler on the skin than chemical dyes.
And to cater to all tastes and meet our customers’ demands, we’ve made our silk pillowcases available in a wide range of colors, especially for the Housewife pillowcases.
And what about silk pillowcases for those on a budget?
As you can see, unlike many brands, “Maison de la soie” does not sell at exorbitant prices.
On the contrary, we aim to make silk more accessible so that as many people as possible can enjoy its benefits.
In addition to our competitive prices, we’ve therefore introduced an even more affordable “silk and cotton” line.
With one side made of 100% silk, the benefits are exactly the same as those of our other lines.
Silk pillowcase with or without a ruffle?
The classic design of Oxford pillowcases with a 5 cm ruffle never goes out of style. Housewife pillowcases without a ruffle, which are more affordable, are also very trendy. The choice of design is, above all, a matter of personal taste.
What size should you choose?
Size is mainly a matter of personal preference and habit, but it’s also a matter of cost. In France, the most common size for pillowcases is 50x75 cm. The 65x65 size is slightly more expensive and less suitable for larger people because square pillows take up more space around the head.
Why choose a silk pillowcase?
- For healthy skin
The 18 amino acids and proteins that make up silk are used to make facial moisturizers. They reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sleep marks. Silk also protects the skin from dehydration. It is therefore ideal for people with dry skin, as well as anyone seeking comfort and wanting to maintain healthy skin.
- For healthy hair
Silk’s effects on hair are the same as on the skin: it protects and moisturizes. A silk pillowcase will help keep your hair soft and silky. Some people use it to help their blowouts or straightened hair hold its style all night long. This is another advantage of silk compared to other materials, such as cotton.
- Silk is naturally healthy and protective
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and dust-mite-resistant. It can therefore help people who suffer from sensitive skin, asthma, eczema, or other skin or respiratory allergies.
- Moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating
Silk is also thermoregulatory and helps reduce perspiration. This makes it easier to fall asleep and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. Healthy sleep is undoubtedly the best way to stay fit and in good spirits while radiating beauty.
Why choose Maison de la soie to buy your silk pillowcase?
Asian websites offer silk pillowcases. Be careful—delivery times can be very long or even indefinite! Also, keep in mind that the listed prices do not include tax, and customs will likely charge you customs duties and VAT upon arrival. If you fail to declare these charges, you may also face a fine.
Furthermore, the quality doesn’t always match the description, and returns are either impossible or extremely costly for the customer.
Unlike Asian websites that manufacture to order, Maison de la soie maintains inventory in France and pays its taxes in France.
Furthermore, silk pillowcases are becoming increasingly popular, and new brands are popping up on social media. However, Maison de la soie has been in business since 2010. We know our products inside and out and are pioneers in silk bedding and linens. With us, you’ll find only high-quality silk items sold at the best prices.
When you shop on our website, you can be sure you’ll quickly receive a high-quality product that matches the description. Stay calm, slow down the appearance of gray hair, and choose Maison de la soie!
Our silk pillowcases are available in 19, 22, and 25 mommes.
