About this product
Light Blue, in 22 momme mulberry silk.
One pillowcase, 51 cm by 76 cm, Grade 6A long fibre mulberry silk with a hidden zip. Same silk as every case we sell. Light blue is the coolest looking colour we stock.
Light blue is the coolest looking colour we stock. Silk does not actually run cooler in one colour than another, but a pale blue bed looks cooler, and in a hot bedroom that counts for something.
The silk is the same on every colour we sell: 100 per cent mulberry, Grade 6A long fibre, woven to 22 momme. The colour is the only thing that changes.
It is the colour that shows a stain soonest, so it suits a bed where skincare goes on well before lights out rather than at the pillow.
It closes with a hidden zip rather than an envelope flap, so the pillow stays where you put it and there is nothing to tuck at 11pm.
Fits a standard Irish pillow at 51 cm by 76 cm. A king pillow will not fit, and we would rather say that here than on the returns page.
What a silk pillowcase does is reduce friction. Cotton grips hair and skin and drags a little every time you turn over; a silk surface lets both slide. That is a property of the weave, not a treatment, and it is the honest version of everything else said about silk pillowcases.
The number that matters is momme, which is how silk is weighed rather than counted. Silk thread is too fine for a useful thread count, so a piece is weighed instead. At 22 momme this is a dense, heavy silk. Below about 19 a pillowcase wears through quickly; much above 22 and you are into curtain weight and lose the drape.
It is the colour that shows a stain soonest, so it suits a bed where skincare goes on well before lights out rather than at the pillow.
Care is the part people get wrong, and it is simple. Cold water, no enzymes, no bleach, no dryer, dry in the shade. A mesh laundry bag makes a machine cycle safe. Treated that way a 22 momme case lasts years rather than seasons.
This page is one of eleven colours, and the case itself is identical across all of them. If you want to see the whole colour range on one page with a picker, the Pure Silk Pillowcase page carries it.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. You have 15 days from purchase on any unused item in its original packaging. That sits on top of the 14 day right to cancel that Irish law gives you on anything bought online. On a cancellation you pay only the direct cost of sending the goods back.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 you are entitled to a repair or a replacement first, and to a price reduction or your money back where that does not put things right. We pay the return postage and nothing on this page limits any of it. Read the detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

The complete guide
Silk pillowcases in a hot bedroom, and what colour has to do with it
4 min readFlair Silk Company
Start with the pillow, not the pillowcase
This case is 51 cm by 76 cm, which fits the standard pillow size sold here. If your pillow is a king, or a contoured memory foam shape, measure it before you order. A silk case that is stretched over a pillow it was not cut for wears at the seam first, and that is the one failure that is not the fabric's fault.
Then decide what you want the colour to do
It is the colour that shows a stain soonest, so it suits a bed where skincare goes on well before lights out rather than at the pillow.
The number to look at is momme
Momme is a weight, not a count. Silk thread is too fine to count usefully, so a standard piece is weighed instead. This case is 22 momme, which is the weight we settled on for pillowcases: 19 is fine but wears through sooner, and much heavier than 22 starts behaving like furnishing silk and loses the drape.
Know what you are buying, silk or satin
Satin is a weave and silk is a fibre, so a fabric can be one, the other, or both. This page is silk. The Satin Silk Pillowcase elsewhere on this site is a satin weave in 100 per cent polyester, which glides in much the same way and costs a good deal less. Both are worth owning and they are not the same thing, so we price and describe them separately.
Wash it the boring way
Cold water, 30 degrees or below, hand wash or a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Use a detergent with no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sun and keep it out of the dryer. Iron on the lowest setting if you iron it at all.
What it will not do
It will not change how your skin ages and it will not fix hair that is breaking for some other reason. What it does is take the drag out of the surface your face and hair spend a third of the day against. That is worth having, and it is all we will claim for it.
Tell us what you want it to do and how you do laundry, and we will tell you whether the silk or the satin is the better spend. Free delivery across Ireland on orders over €60.
