22 Momme Silk Pillowcase
Upgrade your pillowcase to a touch of luxury with premium Grade 6A
Mulberry silk, genuine silk on both sides and thoughtful finishing.
Our 22 momme silk pillowcase is one of those small luxuries that can make
bedtime feel more special, night after night. At Lujo Home, quality matters
to us, which is why we use premium long-strand Mulberry silk and clearly
explain the silk grade, momme weight, sizing and construction.
Many of our customers tell us they love the smooth feel of silk against
their hair and skin. Individual experiences vary, but it is one of the
reasons our 22 momme pillowcases have become a Lujo Home bestseller.

Keeps your pillow secure
What makes it different?
Not All Silk Pillowcases Are Created Equal
Products can look similar in photographs, but the silk weight, fibre
quality, construction and finishing can be completely different.
We believe customers deserve to know exactly what they are buying. Our
pillowcases are made from premium Grade 6A Mulberry silk, with genuine silk
fabric on both sides, elegant piped edging and a concealed zip closure.
Understanding silk weight

Why Choose 22 Momme Silk?
Momme is the traditional measurement used to describe the weight and
density of silk fabric. It is more useful than thread count when comparing
silk pillowcases.
Soft, Smooth and Substantial
Our 22 momme silk offers a smooth, luxurious feel with enough weight to
feel beautifully substantial without being our heaviest option.
It is a popular choice for customers who want a noticeable step up from
lighter silk while retaining a soft and silky feel.
Made for Everyday Luxury
A silk pillowcase is made to be enjoyed, not left sitting in a cupboard.
Our 22 momme range is designed to become part of your regular sleep
routine.
It offers a beautiful balance of softness, weight, colour choice and
value.
Compare the collection
Choosing the Right Momme Weight
There is no single correct momme weight for everyone. Your best choice
depends on your preferred feel, available colours and budget.
Lightest option
19 Momme
Soft, smooth and lightweight. A beautiful introduction to genuine
Mulberry silk and often the most affordable choice.
Customer favourite
22 Momme
A balanced everyday choice with a more substantial feel and our widest
range of available colours.
More substantial
25 Momme
Denser and weightier than 22 momme for customers who prefer a heavier
silk fabric.
Premium weight
30 Momme
Our heaviest and most premium silk option, with a dense and beautifully
substantial feel.
The fabric itself matters
Premium Grade 6A Mulberry Silk
Silk quality cannot be judged by momme weight alone. The fibre quality,
weaving, dyeing, stitching and finishing all contribute to how the finished
pillowcase looks and feels.
Made Using Premium Mulberry Silk
Mulberry silk is produced by silkworms raised on Mulberry leaves. It is
valued for its smooth fibres and is widely used in premium silk bedding
and clothing.
A Premium Silk Grade
Grade 6A is commonly used to describe a premium grade of long-strand
Mulberry silk. It is an important part of assessing silk quality,
alongside the finished weave and construction.
STANDARD 100 Tested
Our silk has been tested in accordance with OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.
Look beyond the fabric
Thoughtful Construction and Finishing
The way a pillowcase is constructed affects how it looks, how it fits and
how enjoyable it is to use.
Genuine Silk on Both Sides
Our pillowcases are made with 22 momme Mulberry silk fabric on both the
front and back. You can turn your pillow over and still sleep directly
against silk.
Concealed Zip Closure
The quality zip closure helps keep your pillow securely inside and
creates a neat, tailored finish throughout the night.
Piped Edge Detail
Piping around the edge gives each pillowcase added shape and a more
polished appearance.
No External Embroidery
Lujo Home branding is positioned on the inside. We do not embroider the
sleeping surface because we do not want anything distracting from the
smooth feel of the silk.

Why people sleep on silk
A Smoother Surface for Hair and Skin
We spend many hours each night with our hair and skin resting against a
pillowcase. Many customers choose silk because of its smooth feel and the
way it moves against the hair and skin during sleep.
Less Friction
Silk provides a smoother sleeping surface than many common woven fabrics,
which may help reduce friction against the hair and skin.
Gentle Against Hair
Hair can move more freely across smooth silk rather than repeatedly
rubbing against a rougher fabric surface. Many customers tell us their
hair looks smoother and feels less tangled after switching to silk.
Smooth Against Skin
The soft surface makes silk a popular choice for people who enjoy a
smooth and luxurious fabric against their face.
Please note: Individual experiences vary. Silk pillowcases
are bedding products, not medical treatments, and are not intended to treat
or cure hair, skin or health conditions.
Know what you are buying
Silk and Satin Are Not the Same Thing
Silk is a natural fibre. Satin describes a type of weave or finish and can
be made from several fibres, including polyester.
Synthetic satin can still provide a smooth surface and may be a suitable
lower-cost option. Genuine Mulberry silk is a premium natural material, and
many customers prefer its soft lustre, natural composition and luxurious
feel.
| Feature | Mulberry Silk | Polyester Satin |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A natural protein fibre | A synthetic fibre with a satin weave or finish |
| Surface | Naturally smooth with a soft lustre | Can feel smooth and appear highly shiny |
| Price | A premium natural material | Usually more affordable |
| What to check | Silk type, grade, momme weight and construction | Fibre content rather than the word “satin” alone |

Caring for your silk investment
How to Care for Your Silk Pillowcase
Silk is a natural, delicate fabric. Gentle washing and careful handling
will help preserve its feel and appearance.
Gentle Washing
- Hand washing is the gentlest option.
- For machine washing, turn the pillowcase inside out.
- Place it inside a protective delicates bag.
- Use cool or tepid water and a gentle cycle.
- Wash with similar colours.
- Use a detergent confirmed as suitable for silk.
Protect the Fabric
- Avoid enzyme detergents, bleach and harsh stain removers.
- Do not wash silk in hot water.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Dry away from strong direct sunlight.
- Store clean and completely dry.
- Follow our full Silk Care Instructions for detailed advice.
With appropriate care, a quality silk pillowcase can be enjoyed for years.
Silk can be more difficult to treat for stains than cotton or synthetic
fabrics, so prompt and gentle care is important.
Frequently asked questions
22 Momme Silk Pillowcase FAQ
Are silk pillowcases good for hair?
Many customers choose silk because its smooth surface creates less
friction than many traditional bedding fabrics. Customers often tell us
their hair feels smoother and looks less tangled after switching to silk,
although individual experiences vary.
Do silk pillowcases really work?
That depends on what you want from your pillowcase. Genuine silk can be a
beautiful choice for customers looking for a smoother sleeping surface,
less friction against the hair and skin, or simply a touch of everyday
luxury. Results and experiences vary from person to person.
Which is better: satin or silk?
Satin describes a weave or finish and is commonly made from polyester.
Synthetic satin can still provide a smooth surface and is usually more
affordable. Genuine Mulberry silk is a natural fibre, and many customers
prefer its natural composition, soft lustre and luxurious feel.
What are the pros and cons of silk pillowcases?
Genuine silk offers a naturally smooth and luxurious sleeping surface,
but it generally costs more than cotton or synthetic satin and requires
gentler care. It cannot be hot washed or cleaned with harsh or
enzyme-based detergents, and stains may be more difficult to treat.
Is 22 or 25 momme silk better?
This is a matter of personal preference. Our 25 momme silk is heavier and
more substantial. Some customers prefer that extra weight, while others
prefer the softer feel, broader colour range and lower price of 22 momme.
What is the highest momme available?
Lujo Home offers silk pillowcases from 19 momme through to 30 momme. Our
30 momme pillowcase is our heaviest and most premium option. We do not
sell silk pillowcases below 19 momme.
Are both sides made from silk?
Yes. Our 22 momme Mulberry silk pillowcases have genuine silk fabric on
both sides.
Will my pillow slide out?
The concealed zip closure is designed to keep your pillow securely inside
the pillowcase.
Can I machine-wash it?
Yes. Place it inside a wash bag and use cool or tepid water, a gentle
cycle and a detergent confirmed as suitable for silk. Hand washing remains
the gentlest option.
Which colour should I choose?
Choose the colour that works best with your bedroom and existing bedding.
Colour availability varies between silk weights and production batches,
and our 22 momme range generally offers the broadest selection.
