Dark Green 19 Momme Silk Pillowcases 2 Pack | Silk pillowcase with hidden zipper | Both sides silk pillowcase

Two pillowcases, both the same dark green and both the standard size of 20 x 26 inches (50 x 66 cm). Pillows are not included. A two pack is the usual choice so one case can be in the wash while the other stays on the bed.

Both sides are 100% mulberry silk. That means the face against your pillow feels identical to the face you see, and you can turn the case over without losing the smooth feel. Many cheaper pillowcases back the silk with cotton or polyester, so this is worth checking whenever you compare a both sides silk pillowcase with a single sided one.

Momme is the traditional weight measure for silk, a bit like thread count for cotton but based on weight rather than yarn count. A higher momme means a denser, heavier fabric. Nineteen momme is the most common choice for bedding because it drapes well and still feels light.

Nineteen momme is a solid mid weight and the sweet spot for most sleepers. Twenty two and twenty five momme are heavier and feel slightly more substantial, but they also cost more and can feel warmer. If you want the best 19 momme silk pillowcase experience without the premium of a heavier weave, this is the weight to pick.

Grade 6A is a common maker description for long, even mulberry silk filament with few flaws. The maker lists this fabric as grade 6A. It is a trade grading rather than an independent certification, so treat it as the maker's own description of the fibre quality.

Thread count counts yarns per square inch while momme measures weight. The maker lists a 600 thread count alongside the 19 momme weight. For silk, momme is the more meaningful number, so use 19 momme as your main reference point.

These are cut to the American standard size of 20 x 26 inches (50 x 66 cm), so measure your pillow before ordering. If your pillow is longer than 26 inches you will want a queen or king size instead. A pillow that is slightly smaller than the case is fine and will simply sit a little loose.

In the American sizing used here, standard is 20 x 26 inches, queen is 20 x 30 inches and king is 20 x 36 inches. The width stays the same and only the length changes. If you are unsure, lay a tape measure along your existing pillow from seam to seam.

The zipper sits in a long opening along one edge and is covered by the fabric, so you do not feel it while you sleep. The long opening makes it easy to slide a full pillow in without forcing it. A silk pillowcase with hidden zipper is generally tidier to look at than an envelope closure.

The zipper is concealed under the silk rather than sitting exposed along the opening, so there is no metal against your face or hair in normal use. As with any zip, close it fully before you sleep and open it gently when you change the case.

A zipper holds the pillow firmly so it does not creep out overnight, and it keeps the end of the case flat. Envelope closures are simpler but the flap can bunch behind your head. For a tidy bed with no loose fabric, a zip is the better option.

It is a deep, solid dark green rather than a soft sage or olive. It reads as rich and quiet in a room, and it pairs comfortably with timber, brass, cream and grey. If you want a pale, barely there green, this will be stronger than you expect.

Dark green tends to hide water marks and crease lines better than ivory or white silk, which is one reason people choose it. Lint and pale hair can show up more against a dark surface, but a quick shake usually sorts that out.

Hand wash in cool water with a detergent made for delicate fibres, or machine wash on a gentle cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. Skip bleach and fabric softener, both of which damage silk over time. Press the water out gently rather than wringing.

It is better not to. Heat and tumbling dull the surface and shorten the life of the fabric. Line dry in the shade and the silk keeps its smoothness far longer.

Yes, on the lowest setting and on the reverse side, ideally while the silk is still slightly damp. Never press a hot iron straight onto the face of the fabric. Most of the time a shake and a flat dry removes the worst of the creasing anyway.

Roughly once a week suits most people, the same rhythm you would use for cotton. If you use heavy night creams or hair products, you may want to wash more often. Having a two pack makes the weekly swap easy.

Silk has a smooth, light surface that feels cool to the touch when you first lie down. It does not insulate the way heavy cotton flannel does. Whether it stays cool through the night depends more on your room and your bedding than on the pillowcase.

Many people with long hair prefer silk because strands slide over the surface instead of catching the way they do on cotton weaves. That is a property of the fabric's smoothness rather than any treatment. If you are shopping for the best silk pillowcase for long hair, a both sides silk construction is the sensible pick.

Yes. Put the protector on the pillow first, then slide the whole thing into the silk case. A long zip opening makes that easier than a short slot would.

Yes, as long as the pillow fits within 20 x 26 inches (50 x 66 cm). Shaped or contoured pillows can be taller than a standard pillow, so check the depth as well as the length before ordering.

Silk starts smooth and stays smooth. With gentle washing, the fabric relaxes a little and drapes more easily over the pillow, but it does not go through the obvious breaking in that linen does.

Direct sunlight is the main risk with any dyed fabric. Dry out of the sun, avoid bleach and wash cool, and the dark green holds up well. A quick cold rinse on its own for the first wash is a sensible precaution.

A matched pair of dark green silk pillowcases makes an easy gift because there is no size guessing beyond the standard pillow measurement. The colour is neutral enough for most bedrooms and more interesting than plain white. A silk pillowcase set also looks generous without needing wrapping fuss.

Satin is a weave, not a fibre, and most satin pillowcases are polyester. These are 100% mulberry silk, which is a natural protein fibre. Silk breathes differently and has a softer, less slippery hand than polyester satin.

With gentle washing and line drying, a good 19 momme case stays in service for a long time. What shortens silk's life is hot washing, bleach, tumble drying and rough handling. Rotating two cases also halves the wear on each one.

No. Bleach breaks down silk fibres and will leave permanent damage. Treat marks quickly with cool water and a tiny amount of delicate detergent, dabbing rather than rubbing.

A standard pillow that has flattened with age will sit loosely inside the case. You can either fluff or replace the pillow, or step down nothing since the width is fixed at 20 inches. A slightly loose case still works fine and is easier to remove on wash day.
