The fibre comes first
SILKHOUSE uses 100% mulberry silk: a natural protein fibre with a smooth feel against skin and hair. That is a different material from polyester satin, even when both fabrics have a glossy surface.

The details behind our recommendation
Natural silk. Substantial fabric. A beautifully smooth finish.
22 momme fabric
Momme measures silk fabric weight. At 22 momme, SILKHOUSE offers a heavier fabric specification than a 19-momme silk pillowcase—the detail to compare when you want substance alongside softness.
Less detail. More smoothness.
A clean surface without embroidered branding keeps the focus on the fabric. SILKHOUSE brings that minimalist finish to a collection of colours made for a considered bedroom.

The questions that make a smarter purchase
Your silk pillowcase questions, answered
Why choose 22-momme silk?
22 momme identifies the fabric weight. SILKHOUSE combines that specification with 100% mulberry silk and a smooth finish, making it our featured collection for this guide.
Is silk the same as satin?
Silk names the fibre; satin names a weave. Silk can be woven as satin, while polyester satin is made from a synthetic fibre. SILKHOUSE pillowcases use natural mulberry silk.
