BEST SILK PILLOWCASE
silk vs polyester pillowcase
Silk and polyester are different fibres even when both fabrics look glossy. Read the composition, then compare dimensions, care instructions and the delivered price. A photograph alone cannot establish what a pillowcase is made from.

Compare fibre and weave separately
A composition label answers what the fabric is made of. A weave describes how threads are arranged. “Satin” alone does not distinguish silk from polyester. Compare the stated fibre percentages on both products rather than their shine in product photos.
Compare ownership, not just the first price
Put size, closure, care requirements, quantity per pack and delivered price next to each other. A cheaper pack containing one case and a more expensive pair are not directly comparable until you calculate the cost per case. Care convenience can matter as much as the purchase price.
When each choice makes sense
Choose a verified silk composition when buying silk is your priority and its care routine suits you. Consider a polyester alternative if its price and care instructions suit your needs better. Neither the fibre name nor a glossy photograph establishes the performance of an individual finished product.

04 / FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if a pillowcase is real silk?
Read the fibre composition. Satin names a weave and may be made from silk or synthetic fibres; it does not identify the fibre by itself.
Is 22 momme a useful weight?
Momme describes silk fabric weight. A 22-momme label is useful when it appears alongside an explicit silk composition, suitable dimensions and clear care instructions.
Which size should I order?
Measure the pillow itself. The available formats are 50 × 70 cm and 65 × 65 cm; US labels such as standard, queen and king are not exact substitutes for centimetres.
What should I check before paying?
Confirm the selected size, colour, quantity, care instructions, delivered price and return conditions on the product page.
