The fabric is on the page
Mulberry silk with its momme weight, or polyester, microfibre or viscose named as such. In the first two lines and again in the specifications.
Silk, satin, and the difference spelled out.
Flair Silk Company Ireland sells mulberry silk and satin pillowcases, sheets, sleepwear and accessories across Ireland. Satin is a weave and silk is a fibre, so every page here names its own fabric rather than leaving you to guess.

Silk where it says silk, satin where it says satin
Pillowcases, sheets, pyjamas, robes and accessories. Tell us what you want it to do and we will tell you which of the two is worth your money.
22 momme on the pillowcases
Grade 6A long fibre mulberry silk. 22 is the top of the sensible range for a pillowcase: lighter wears through, heavier stops draping.
Less friction, not a treatment
That is a property of the weave, and it is as far as we will take the claim.
Satin is not second best
A polyester satin glides much the same way, machine washes, and costs a good deal less. We would rather sell you that honestly than sell you silk you did not need.
One pillow size, said plainly
Every pillowcase here is 51 cm by 76 cm, which fits a standard pillow. A king pillow will not fit, and that belongs on the product page rather than the returns page.
Straight answers
Where a figure is not published, the page says so instead of guessing at one. Ask us and we will go and find out.
The range
Five categories, two fabrics
Free standard delivery across Ireland on orders of €60 or more, and no minimum order.

A 19 momme mulberry silk flat sheet, and microfibre satin sets in four or six pieces.
Mens Sleepwear
Satin pyjama sets, two lounge robes and 19 momme mulberry silk boxer shorts.
Womens Sleepwear

Sleepwear Accessories
22 momme silk sleep masks, bonnets and baby mittens, plus gift wrap and embroidery.
A closer look
Where people start
If you are buying one thing, buy the thing that touches you for longest in one spot.
A single pillowcase
The most common first purchase, and the one where the difference is most noticeable.
A flat sheet
The next piece worth having in silk, because it touches the rest of you. Ours is one 19 momme flat sheet rather than a set, which the page says twice.
A whole bed in satin
The four or six piece microfibre set dresses everything for less than a single silk sheet costs. Different trade, honestly priced.
An eye mask or a bonnet
22 momme mulberry, the same silk as the pillowcases. The mask is cut to sit around the nose; the bonnet is cut with room for the hair you actually have.
Sleepwear
Three items in the range are genuinely silk: the women's pyjama set, the men's lounge robe and the men's boxer shorts. The rest is satin, and says so.
Something for a newborn
Silk scratch mittens for babies from 0 to 3 months. No hard parts, nothing to come loose, and a short window in which they are useful.

Buying guide
Silk or satin, and how to tell what you are buying
This is the short version of what we have learned selling both: what each is good at, where it is the wrong choice, and how to look after it so it is still worth having in a few years.
Satin is a weave. Silk is a fibre.
This is the single most useful thing to know in this category, and a lot of shops are comfortable leaving it unsaid. Satin describes how the threads are woven, not what they are made of, so a satin fabric may be silk, polyester, viscose or nylon. A product called a satin silk pillowcase can legitimately contain no silk at all. On this site the fabric is named in the first two lines of every product page and again in the specifications.
What momme measures
Momme is a weight, not a thread count. Silk thread is too fine to count usefully, so a standard piece is weighed and the weight in pounds is the momme. Higher means denser and longer wearing. Our pillowcases, eye mask, bonnet and baby mittens are 22 momme; the silk flat sheet, the men's robe and the men's boxers are 19; the women's silk pyjama set is 16. Bedding wants the higher number because it takes friction in one place every night. Garments want the lower one, so they hang and dry.
Grade 6A
Grade describes the raw fibre rather than the finish. 6A is the long fibre grade, and long fibres are what keep a surface even through years of washing. Short fibre silk works loose and roughens at the seam.
What silk actually does
We do not publish effectiveness percentages and we do not claim a medical or dermatological outcome, because we cannot stand behind one.
When satin is the better buy
When it is going in the machine every week. Our satin range washes cold on a gentle cycle, resists stains and creases, and costs noticeably less than the silk equivalent. Silk wants cold water, an enzyme-free detergent, no bleach, no dryer and shade drying. A silk pillowcase washed badly lasts less time than a satin one washed properly, so be honest about which you will actually do.
Washing silk
Cold water at 30 degrees or below. Hand wash, or a gentle machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. A detergent with no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sunlight and keep it away from the dryer, because heat is what ages silk. Iron on the lowest setting if you iron it at all.
Before you order, check the pillow
Every pillowcase on this site is 51 cm by 76 cm, which fits the standard pillow size sold here. If yours is a king, or a contoured memory foam shape, measure it first. A case stretched over a pillow it was not cut for wears at the seam, and that is the one failure that is not the fabric's fault.
