Key Benefits
Sleep on a cloud and wake up with better hair and skin. This wholesale 16mm Mulberry silk pillowcase is crafted from 100 percent pure Mulberry silk satin fabric. It is not just a pillowcase; it is a nightly beauty treatment. The natural protein fibers are gentle on your complexion and hair cuticles, reducing friction to prevent sleep lines and frizz. Because silk is highly breathable and moisture-wicking, it helps regulate your temperature throughout the night, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. The secure envelope closure keeps your pillow neatly covered without bulky zippers, making it a practical and luxurious addition to your bedding. Choose this medium-weight silk for a balance of durability and everyday comfort.
Here is the thing: we have tested this specific 16mm weight extensively. It is the perfect “sweet spot” for a pillowcase. It is heavier than flimsy 19 momme options but more affordable than the ultra-luxury 22mm and 25mm varieties. This makes it an excellent choice for retail buyers looking for a premium product that offers high perceived value without pricing out everyday customers. The plain dyed finish in classic colors ensures it matches any bedroom decor, and the material is also suitable for DIY dressmaking projects, offering versatility beyond the bedroom.
Why Choose This Silk Pillowcase?
- Hair Protection: The smooth satin weave reduces friction by up to 43 percent compared to cotton, meaning less breakage, fewer split ends, and no “bed head” in the morning.
- Skin Benefits: Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites and mold. It absorbs less moisture from your skin than cotton, helping to maintain your skincare routine’s hydration levels overnight.
- Temperature Regulation: Mulberry silk fibers are naturally breathable, wicking away moisture to keep you cool during hot nights and retaining body heat during colder months.
- Secure Fit: The classic envelope style ensures the pillowcase stays in place all night, eliminating the annoyance of slipping pillows.
Real Customer Feedback
“I was skeptical about switching from my regular cotton cases, but honestly, the difference is night and day. My hair is noticeably smoother in the morning, and I don’t wake up with crease marks on my face anymore. As a buyer for a boutique hotel, I ordered a sample, and the quality is outstanding for the price point. The stitching is tight, and the dye is rich and consistent. We are now ordering these in bulk for our premium suites.”

FAQ
Q: What does “16mm” mean in silk fabric?
A: In the silk industry, “mm” stands for “momme,” a unit of weight. 16mm means the fabric weighs approximately 16 pounds per 100 yards. It indicates the density and durability of the silk. 16mm is considered a medium weight, offering a good balance of softness and longevity for everyday use.
Q: Is this pillowcase suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes. Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic. It is resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew, making it an excellent choice for those with allergies or sensitive skin conditions like eczema. The smooth texture is also less likely to irritate the skin than rougher fabrics.
Q: How do I care for this silk pillowcase?
A: We recommend hand washing in cold water with a gentle detergent (specifically for silk or delicates) or using the delicate cycle on your washing machine with a mesh laundry bag. Do not wring or twist. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Q: Can I use this fabric for sewing projects like dresses?
A: Absolutely. While it is cut and stitched as a pillowcase, the 100 percent Mulberry satin fabric is excellent for apparel. You can easily unpick the seams to use the material for blouses, dresses, or scarves. The plain dyed color and medium drape make it versatile for garment making.
Q: What is the difference between “silk” and “satin”?
A: Silk refers to the fiber (protein from the silkworm), while satin refers to the weave structure. This product is a “satin weave” made from “100 percent Mulberry silk” fibers. This combination creates the characteristic glossy front and matte back, offering the benefits of silk with the smooth texture of satin.
Q: Is there a specific color available for wholesale orders?
A: Since this is a plain dyed product and offered wholesale, we can accommodate custom dyeing for large orders. Please contact us to discuss Pantone color matching and minimum order quantities. For smaller retail orders, we typically stock classic neutral tones like white, ivory, champagne, and grey.
