MUHLI FAQ

What type of silk do MUHLI pillowcases use?

All MUHLI pillowcases are made from 100% genuine mulberry silk - the highest grade of silk available. Mulberry silkworms are fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, producing long, uniform fibres prized for their softness, durability, and naturally luxurious texture.

What momme weight is MUHLI silk?

Our pillowcases are crafted from 22 momme (mm) mulberry silk -a weight widely regarded as the sweet spot for durability, drape, and a genuinely luxurious sleep experience. Lighter weights (under 16mm) tend to feel flimsy; heavier weights can reduce breathability. 22mm strikes the ideal balance.

Is MUHLI silk OEKO-TEX® certified?

Yes. All MUHLI products carry OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, meaning they have been independently tested and verified to be free from harmful chemicals and substances. You can sleep knowing your pillowcase is gentle on skin, hair, and health.

Why does my silk have a soft, matte finish rather than a glossy sheen?

That's a sign you have the real thing. Authentic, high-quality mulberry silk has a soft matte finish with a naturally refined texture. Overly glossy or slippery fabrics are typically synthetic satin or chemically treated. The subtle lustre of genuine silk is a hallmark of its premium quality.

Care & Washing

How do I wash my MUHLI silk pillowcase?

Silk is resilient when treated with care. We recommend:

  • Hand wash in cool water, or use a gentle/delicates machine cycle with a mesh laundry bag
  • Use a mild, silk-safe detergent - avoid anything enzyme-based
  • Do not bleach or use fabric softeners
  • Air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources
  • If ironing, use the lowest heat setting on a slightly damp pillowcase, or place a cloth between the iron and silk

Proper care preserves the texture, colour, and longevity of your silk for years to come.

Can I tumble dry my silk pillowcase?

We recommend avoiding tumble drying. Heat can weaken silk fibres over time. Air drying flat or on a hanger in the shade is the best way to maintain the integrity of your pillowcase.

How often should I wash my silk pillowcase?

We suggest washing every 1–2 weeks, or as needed. Silk's natural protein structure is gentle on skin and hair, meaning it stays fresher for longer than cotton alternatives.
