The Lunelle Difference
Why a silk pillowcase?
A silk pillowcase changes how your hair and skin experience sleep. Cotton is absorbent and creates surface friction, it draws moisture from your face and grips your hair as you move. Silk does neither. The smooth surface lets hair glide across the pillow without resistance, reducing breakage, frizz and tangles overnight.
For skin, the low-friction surface means fewer sleep creases and less moisture loss. Dermatologists regularly recommend silk pillowcases for sensitive skin, and for anyone using skincare products before bed, silk keeps those products on your face rather than absorbed into the pillow.
At Lunelle, every pillowcase is 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk, the highest purity grade available. Not blended, not a silk-feel fabric. Pure silk, in two momme weights, so you can choose the weight that suits your sleep style.
Less friction overnight
Hair glides across silk rather than catching against cotton fibres. Fewer tangles, less frizz, less breakage.
Hydration stays on your skin
Silk does not absorb moisture the way cotton does. Your skincare and natural oils stay where they belong.
100% Grade 6A mulberry silk
The highest purity grade available. Every Lunelle pillowcase is pure silk, not blended or silk-feel fabric.
Gentle on all hair types
Particularly beneficial for curly, colour-treated and fine hair, where overnight friction causes the most damage.
Hair and skin
Silk pillowcases for hair
The friction between cotton and hair overnight is one of the main causes of frizz, breakage and split ends. Every time you move in your sleep, cotton fibres create resistance against the hair shaft. Over weeks and months, this builds up as visible damage.
A silk pillowcase eliminates that resistance. Hair moves with the fabric instead of against it. The difference is most noticeable for people with curly, textured, fine or colour-treated hair, where overnight friction causes the most visible damage. But the benefit applies to all hair types.
Both our 22 momme and 30 momme pillowcases deliver this benefit. If you are unsure which weight to choose, our 22 momme collection is the most popular starting point.

22 momme or 30 momme: which is right for you?
Momme is the weight measurement for silk fabric. Think of it like thread count for cotton, a higher number means more silk per square metre. Both weights are 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk. The difference is in feel, breathability and durability.
