SILK PILLOWCASE
5 reasons to buy a silk pillowcase for acne-prone skin
Their skin has never looked so beautiful
"The pillowcase is very comfortable. Only a few days of use and already much less redness and pimples on the face." - Sabine.B
Silk, an antibacterial ally
A SURFACE THAT DOES NOT PROMOTE BACTERIA
The Science Behind Silk’s Clean Touch
- Silk is made of natural proteins like sericin and fibroin, known for their antimicrobial and antibacterial properties in biomaterials and textiles.
- Unlike cotton, which traps sebum, sweat, and impurities and can become a breeding ground for bacteria, silk helps limit this buildup.
- The result: cleaner nighttime contact and less bacterial proliferation on your skin’s surface.
- A simple switch that helps create a healthier sleep environment for your skin, night after night.
RESULT: Healthier skin, fewer potential bacterial outbreaks, a better controlled skin environment.

Silk, naturally hypoallergenic
A SOFT MATERIAL THAT LIMIT IRRITATION
For Sensitive Skin, Every Detail Matters
- Sensitive skin reacts to everything — even slight friction, rough fabrics, or excess heat can cause redness, tightness, and discomfort, sometimes even allergic reactions.
- Skin prone to rosacea, eczema, or allergies needs special care, especially while you sleep.
- Choosing a silk pillowcase means giving your skin daily care that blends softness and effectiveness.
- Its smooth, gentle texture minimizes friction, prevents irritation, and helps protect the skin barrier.
- Naturally hypoallergenic, breathable, and thermoregulating, silk is kind to even the most delicate skin.
RESULT: your skin is less damaged, more soothed, and it rests without irritation.
100% natural silk
A NATURAL, SOFT MATERIAL WITH NO HARMFUL COMPONENTS
The Purity of Our Silk
- Our silk is sourced from the cocoon of the silkworm (Bombyx mori) and woven without harsh additives or synthetic fibers.
- It’s composed mainly of fibroin (≈70–80%) and sericin (≈20–30%) — two natural proteins known for their skin compatibility.
- Sericin, a hydrophilic film, helps retain moisture and prevent water loss, keeping skin comfortably hydrated throughout the night.
- This makes silk especially beneficial for fragile or imbalance-prone skin.
- A pure, natural fabric that truly cares for your skin while you sleep.
RESULT: a noble, soft touch that fully meets the needs of sensitive skin.
Silk promotes skin regeneration
A COOLER NIGHT, LESS OCCLUSION & FRICTION
Breathable Comfort for Your Skin
- Silk is naturally breathable, lightweight, and thermoregulating, allowing air to circulate freely.
- It helps reduce excess heat and humidity on the skin’s surface, creating a balanced sleep environment.
- This limits “mechanical acne” — breakouts caused by heat, sweat, friction, or occlusion.
- Its buttery-soft texture lets the fabric glide gently over the skin, minimizing friction and preventing micro-trauma while you sleep.
RESULT: fewer nighttime physical attacks, less pore obstruction, more soothed skin upon waking.
Silk preserves natural moisture
SHE DOESN'T STEAL YOUR CREAMS OR SERUMS
Boost the Power of Your Nighttime Skincare
- Silk retains just the right amount of moisture without absorbing the products you apply to your skin.
- Unlike cotton, it won’t “drink” your creams or serums — allowing your active ingredients to fully work overnight.
- The sericin protein found in silk closely resembles the skin’s natural moisturizing factors (NMF), helping maintain optimal hydration levels.
RESULT: your skin remains supple, your treatments are effective, without areas of dryness or seborrheic overcompensation.

Naturopath expert in skin health
“Silk is a particularly good material for sensitive skin because it limits friction and therefore irritation. It doesn't absorb the skincare you apply to your skin and it's also hypoallergenic. It's a small thing to add to your routine, but it can really make a difference in providing more comfort and preserving the skin barrier. If you have really reactive or blemish-prone skin, a silk pillowcase like the one from Emily's Pillow can be a real plus for taking care of your skin, even at night.”
Why can't I live without my silk pillowcase for 10 years ?
“I discovered the benefits of silk pillowcases in 2012.
I was then looking for a solution to take care of my hair and help it regain its shine after significant hair loss.
I was amazed at the results. My hair was less damaged and as a bonus, my skin felt less tight when I woke up!
I became fascinated by this material, its benefits and its history.
A few years later, I wanted to democratize the benefits of silk by creating a responsible and committed brand. Emily's Pillow was born."

We answer all your questions
What is the quality of the silk used?
We use exclusively 100% natural mulberry silk, grade 6A , the best quality available on the market.
Grade 6A guarantees extra-long, soft, shiny and strong fiber.
Our silk is also certified 22 momme , which ensures high density, excellent durability and a soft, silky feel.
What are the advantages of 22 momme silk over 19 momme?
Silk density is measured in mommes : the higher the number, the thicker and more durable the silk.
22 momme silk contains more fibers than 19 momme , making it stronger , softer , and better suited for everyday use .
It also retains its beauty properties better: it limits friction, preserves the hydration of the skin and hair, and resists aging better.
Why choose silk over cotton?
Silk and cotton are both natural materials, but their properties are very different, especially for bed linen.
Cotton tends to absorb moisture , which can dry out skin and hair overnight. It also creates more friction, which can lead to frizz, breakage, and facial creases.
Silk , on the other hand, is naturally moisturizing , soft and anti-friction . It helps preserve skin moisture and limits hair breakage.
It is also hypoallergenic , breathable and thermoregulating , which makes it comfortable in all seasons, summer and winter.
It is an ideal choice for people with sensitive skin or looking for a gentler, more skin- and hair-friendly sleep.
Is the pillowcase handmade?
Yes, all our pillowcases are handmade with the greatest care, to guarantee optimal quality at every stage.
- The pillowcases in the Made in France collection are handmade in France , in a workshop located in the north of France. They benefit from local craftsmanship and careful finishing touches such as the invisible zip, elegant piping and reinforced seams.
- The pillowcases in the Classic collection are handmade in the Jiangsu region of China , the traditional home of mulberry silk. They are made in specialized workshops, selected for their high standards of quality.
This artisanal approach allows us to preserve the natural softness of silk, ensure sustainable production, and offer a respectful product, right down to the details: plastic-free packaging, responsible transport , and high-end finishes.
