Fishers Finery 25mm 100% Pure Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, Good Housekeeping Winner (Red, Standard)

This is my second silk pillowcase purchase, as I want to rotate pillowcases when one is being soaked and later hand-washed (details below). My first purchase was a 22 momme silk pillowcase from another reputable company and seller on Amazon, Colorado Home Co.I inquired with Fishers Finery customer service on Amazon and they quickly responded with a friendly reply.This, my second silk pillowcase purchase on Amazon, was the 25 momme, white (undyed), pillowcase from Fishers Finery. This product is truly authentic, 100% silk. The quality and softness are superb. The packaging for this item is a very pleasant, big & stiff square, dark blue colored paperboard. If you buy their 30 momme silk pillowcase it comes in an even nicer packaging, a dark black, cardboard box with their company signature on top.Note, generally speaking, the nicer the packaging, the more you pay for the silk pillowcase product-- in fact, it can increase the price of the product by $15 to $20 approximately when you purchase a silk pillowcase that comes in a nice gift box.TIP on HOW TO WASH this item: Have a couple of silk pillowcases so you can rotate them when one is being washed as I describe here:a. Do not machine wash or machine dry.b. If there are any stains, use Ecover Stain Remover liquid (6.8 oz), available on Amazon and at grocery stores like Natural Grocers. Simply thoroughly spot dab the Ecover liquid stain remover on all stains. I had some blood stains on my other silk pillowcase (from Colorado Home Co.) due to a scab that broke on my head. I was worried the blood stain would not come out. I soaked the Ecover liquid stain remover on the pillowcase for 24hrs.c. Then, fill a bucket full of cool to warm water and a liquid detergent for delicate items (made for wool or silk). Not marketed as a detergent in this case, but I used Soapnut shampoo (unscented) soap that I purchased from an Amazon seller called Nature Sustained. Any Soapnut shampoo, body wash, or detergent (all are sold online or in some health food stores), are basically all the same and can be interchanged to cleanse your body, hair, or fabric (clothing or bedding). 100% pure Soapnut shampoo/liquid soap is very gentle but effective, as well as chemical free and very environmentally friendly. For some reason, as of 10/2022, it is very hard to find 100% pure Soapnut shampoo/soap (containing only Soapnut liquid and natural preservative) on Amazon or online.d. I then placed the silk pillowcase in the bucket of water, and I gently hand washed for about a minute. Then I let it soak for 24 hours. After 24 hours, I hand washed again for about a minute. Then I emptied the bucket of water and filled with clean water and rinsed the pillowcase in this manner. I then hung the silk pillowcase to dry over a wooden rack. You may also lay it flat to dry on a towel on a counter.The result? All the blood stains came out and there were no wrinkles (of course pillowcase was not as flat looking as when new).RE: Temperature Regulation-- I purchased this item as my body runs hot and thus, I also sleep hot. So, I needed a temperature regulating fabric in order to sleep better. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase does not cure all one's sleeping hot woes. However, it certainly was palpable in that the silk pillowcase did indeed reduce warmth. I cannot afford silk sheets at the moment, but having at least a silk pillowcase is the most important in order to reduce heat in the head area.A much less expensive (less than half the price), but very effective alternative to silk sheets, in order to sleep cooler, is 100% Egyptian Cotton sheets. So, I purchased this on Amazon: "Pure Parima Luxury 100% CEA Certified Egyptian Cotton Sheet Bed Set | Extra-Long Staple | Cool, Breathable, Ultra Comfort | Double Hem-Stitched | Flat, Fitted, and 2 Pillow Cases". These sheets did the trick and I sleep cooler. Another alternative is "Everhome Egyptian Cotton 700-Thread-Count sheet" available at your local and online bed and bath store.I am very pleased with this purchase and I can't wait to buy another 100% pure silk pillowcase from Fishers Finery.This item is "Practical Perry" approved. ; )

This is a very quality silk pillowcase. It very thick and smooth. It is a single pillowcase, not a set. I know there were a few questions about that. But it is just one pillowcase. It was a lot lighter than my gray bedding. It looks darker in the pictures so just be aware of that when selecting this color. I don't really mind. I'll probably by another so it looks like I've done it for decorative purposes because it still matches. I've slept on it twice now and my hair looks so much better in the morning. It doesn't look as tangled and stringy. I have very fine but very curly hair. The curls are still intact which is a plus and it has cut down time on my morning routine because of it. I also have very sensitive skin. The prima cotton pillowcases I had before would still cause redness on my cheek from friction of moving around and laying on my side. After two nights, I've had no redness in my cheeks when I wake up. I'm hoping it is a thing of the past.The stitching is really good. There were no loose strings or anything like that. The pillowcase is in beautiful condition. I think I'll be ordering more in different colors just to match my other bedding.There has been some debate as to how the pillowcase is packaged. I've included two pictures of the packaging and the card that was inside. It is nice and neat but it isn't elegant as some have experience. If you intend this to be a gift, you might be better off wrapping it yourself and shipping it if you have the option because it isn't very "gift pretty". I've never used Amazons gift wrap option but don't count on it coming in a nice box or anything as if it would when you buy it straight from Fishers Finery. This is being shipped by Amazon so there isn't any frills.Overall, I'm really happy with this pillowcase. I did use the "same day option". I thought I would give it a chance since last time I ordered something, it took two days to get it and Amazon didn't give me a refund. But this time, it arrived on time. I was very happy about that because I really didn't want to go another round with Amazon and have them not stand by their couriers.

The media could not be loaded. Update: I have slept on this several nights and it stays in the envelope closure perfectly - even when I had a restless toss-and-turn night.----I have had 2 different zipper closure silk pillowcases and I am O.V.E.R>I.T! So happy this is an envelope closure. The zipper closures start to unravel, come unstitched, and in the instance of the silk pillowcase I’ve been using, it finally just ripped all down the zipper.This fishers finery is super soft.The size I ordered is a standard and I have room to spare but I do need a new pillow and if I put my more beefier pillow in there, it’s just right. The down pillow I have is smaller.Comes with a mesh bag to wash it in. You can wash in the washer and dry in the dryer - on delicate in the washer and on air dry in the dryer. Or hand wash. I do not have the patience to hand wash and it seems it wouldn’t be clean enough for me to do that anyway.The color I have is NATURAL WHITE (undyed) and note that this has a more ‘ivory’ or hint of creamy white to it. I took a video and compared it to a white blanket and a taupe pillowcase, and cream colored sheets so you could see the different tones against this pillow case.I love it! So happy with my order.

I’ve had it for right at a year, it’s washed well and feels great but putting the pillow in tonight, it ripped so fast along the seam.I tend to sleep hot and the pillowcase does help keep my face cool. It’s a beautiful silk. Time to buy another.

Soft and smooth. Love these silky pillowcases.

They are soft to sleep on, easy to wash with little ironing. Performs as expected.

Outstanding quality, comfort, Taupe color, standard size and price. Researched numerous silk pillowcases and chose this one based on reviews and the company's commitment to customer satisfaction. After 3 nights of sleeping with this silk pillowcase it was obvious the immense benefits of purchasing this product. Improved hair and skin, slept cool, reduced restless sleeping. Received package through Prime, great service. Always shop Amazon.

Duermo muy comodo, estoy seguro que mi cara y mi pelo estan agradecidos por esta compra.

Love the feel of it on my face and it very cooling, keeps the sweat away

great quality, machine washable in a bag on delicate cycle

I'm very happy with this pillowcase. Helps control my frizzy hair. Keeps me cool now that it's hot.
