Did you know that a silk pillowcase is a real beauty treatment? Unlike the classic pillowcase, a silk pillowcase takes care of you while you sleep. Skeptical? We'll tell you all about it.

What are the properties of silk?

Silk is a soft, strong material that has been recognized for thousands of years for its physical and sanitizing properties.

First and foremost, silk is insulating, making it the perfect filling for top-of-the-range duvets and pillows.

Secondly, its softness and fleshy feel are highly appreciated in luxury clothing and bed linen.

Finally, few people are aware of silk's beneficial properties on the skin. A true beauty ally, it doesn't irritate, and protects skin and hair from dehydration. Silk bed linen therefore not only provides a sensation of luxury and voluptuousness, but also comfort and beneficial properties.

Silk pillowcases, luxury at last affordable

For some years now, major brands have been selling silk pillowcases with a great deal of marketing and superfluous packaging, mainly through expensive sales networks.

By avoiding all these unnecessary costs, Maison de la soie offers pillowcases in silk that are affordable. silk pillowcases of the same quality at a price 2 to 3 times lower.

What's the best silk?

Silk quality varies mainly according to the species of butterfly that produces it. The best-known silk is mulberry silk. It comes from the cocoons of Bombyx Mori caterpillars, which feed exclusively on mulberry leaves. Mulberry silk fibers are strong, consistent in cross-section and slightly ivory-white in color.

This quality of silk has nothing to do with wild silk or tussah silk, which have neither the same properties nor the same appearance.

Next, the selection of mulberry silk fibers of varying lengths determines the grade.

Finally, it's important to choose a fabric of sufficient thickness to withstand care.

On our site, you'll find grade A silk bed linen with a density of 19 mommes, perfectly suited to machine care. This saves you the chore of hand-washing, which is recommended for mommes under 16.

Which color to choose?

We have chosen to offer the most natural products possible. That's why you'll find mainly undyed silk bed linen on our site. The natural color of silk is a slightly ivory-tinted white. This soothing color is obviously more skin-friendly than a chemical dye.

And to satisfy all tastes and customer demands, we've made our silk pillowcases available in a wide range of colors, including borderless pillowcases. 

And which silk pillowcase is right for small budgets?

As you can see, unlike many brands, Maison de la soie's policy is not to sell at indecent prices.

On the contrary, we want to democratize silk so that as many people as possible can benefit from its properties.

In addition to our low prices, we have therefore introduced a even more accessible "silk and cotton" range.

With a 100% silk side, the benefits are exactly the same as for the other ranges. 

Silk pillowcase with or without flounce?

The classic Oxford pillowcase finish with 5 cm flounce is timeless. More affordable, housewife pillowcases without ruffles are also very fashionable. The choice of finish is above all a matter of taste.

 

Which size to choose?

Size is mainly a question of taste and habit, but also of cost. In France, the most common size for pillowcases is 50x75 cm. The 65x65 size is slightly more expensive and less suitable for larger people, as square pillows take up more headroom.

Why choose a silk pillowcase?

- For healthy skin

The 18 amino acids and proteins that make up silk are used in facial moisturizers. They reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sleep marks. Silk also protects the skin from dehydration. This makes it ideal for people with dry skin, but also for those who want comfort and healthy skin.

- Healthy hair

Silk has the same effect on hair as it does on skin: it protects and moisturizes. A silk pillowcase will keep your hair soft and silky. Some people use it to hold their brushings or straightenings overnight. This is another virtue of silk over other materials such as cotton.

- Silk is naturally healthy and protective

Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and anti-mite. It can therefore help people suffering from sensitive skin, asthma, eczema or other skin or respiratory allergies.

- Anti-perspirant and thermoregulating

Silk is also thermoregulating and slows down perspiration. It makes it easier to fall asleep and enjoy a restful night's sleep. A healthy night's sleep is certainly the best way to stay in shape and in good spirits, while radiating beauty.
