Emily's Pillow FAQ
Here you will find all the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
About our products
What are your pillowcases made of?
Our pillowcases are made entirely of silk. 100% silk, nothing but silk.
How does the pillowcase close?
The pillowcase closes with a very discreet zipper, hidden in the seam.
We worked with the workshop to reinforce the seams to have very strong seams on both ends.
How do I wash my silk pillowcase and sheets?
3 things must be absolutely respected to wash your silk pillowcase (or your sheets) so that it lasts over time:
- It must be washed at 30°
- With a spin of 400 rpm (600 max)
- Wash inside out
In addition to this, it is recommended to wash them in a small protective bag and with similar colors.
Silk pillowcases dry very quickly, in less than a day they will be usable again to sleep on.
Very practical, you do not need to iron your silk products.

How do I wash my silk face mask?
The most practical way to wash the silk face mask is to wash it with Marseille soap (another soap will do just fine) under hot water.
The mask then dries within a few hours. It is also possible to machine wash it at 30 degrees.
Soap kills bacteria and microbes and it is therefore not necessary to heat our fabrics to 60 degrees to kill viruses and bacteria.
Where is silk produced?
Our silk is produced in China, the cradle of silk since time immemorial. For your information, there is no longer any silk production in France , or only for very small volumes reserved for artistic crafts.
We have selected the most beautiful silk, grade 6A (the longest and highest quality thread) and of incomparable softness.
Our partners are small cooperatives of 30 people who weave the silk themselves and do the sewing.
Apart from shipping from China to France, the round trips are therefore very limited. In addition, our stocks are based in France, which allows us to group the shipping of our products to limit the carbon impact.
Other anti-green washing information: French linen, for example, unfortunately goes to Asia to be transformed into thread before returning to France to be woven. The carbon impact is therefore no better than what we offer with silk.
BUT
We have created a range made in France in order to favor French labor and know-how.
Silk will always come from China, but it was important for us to bring added value to our territory.
What is a momme?
The momme is the unit which defines the weight per square meter of silk .
This is why our 19 momme pillowcase will be lighter than the 25 momme by around 40 grams.
The higher the momme unit, the thicker and heavier the silk will be. The 25 momme is the highest unit in existence.
The texture for the 25 momme is therefore more luxurious because the material is denser and thicker.
However, the 19 momme is quite satisfactory knowing that the silk resists over time.
Category Face Mask (Covid)
Our fabric masks are classified in category 2 until we can receive feedback from the laboratory.
Silk has excellent filtering properties because it is the tightest weave with microfiber.
We therefore have a good chance of having a category 1 classification within a few weeks. But until the tests are carried out, we put it in category 2.
