About this product
Silver, 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. Silver is our most popular colour after white.
Silver is our most popular colour after white. It is a warm grey with a sheen, and it does the job white does without looking like hotel linen.
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 most forgiving colour we sell. Marks that would be obvious on white and invisible on black sit somewhere in between on silver, which is why it is the one we suggest when someone cannot decide.
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. 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 most forgiving colour we sell. Marks that would be obvious on white and invisible on black sit somewhere in between on silver, which is why it is the one we suggest when someone cannot decide.
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 delivery 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.

What does momme actually measure?
Weight, not thread count. Silk thread is too fine to count usefully, so it is weighed instead: momme is the weight in pounds of a 45 inch by 100 yard piece. Our pillowcases, eye mask, bonnet and baby mittens are 22 momme, the silk flat sheet is 19 momme and the women's mulberry pyjama set is 16 momme.

What's special about a Silver Mulberry Silk Pillowcase versus cotton?
Silk offers luxurious softness, less friction, and a breathable feel that helps you stay comfortable year-round.
Is everything on this site actually silk?
No, and the page always says which. The mulberry silk range is 100 per cent silk. The satin range is polyester or a viscose blend woven in a satin weave, which gives a similar glide at a much lower price. Both are on the site on purpose and each product page states its own fabric.
Is a Silver Silk Pillow Slip good for hot sleepers?
Yes, silk feels cool-to-the-touch, breathes well, and helps disperse heat so nights feel calmer. Wake with less overheating and a drier cheek, a simple comfort win for warm Irish evenings.
The complete guide
The case for silver, and why we suggest it when people cannot decide
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 most forgiving colour we sell. Marks that would be obvious on white and invisible on black sit somewhere in between on silver, which is why it is the one we suggest when someone cannot decide.
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.
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.
