Silk pillowcases - worth it?

The Blissy ones keep popping up on my ads but I was Shock when I saw the price! Whaaat!
Ideally I want one for both me and curly DD, but are they actually worth the money? What's the difference between those and the cheapy silk ones on Amazon?
The Blissy ones look v shiny which seems odd as I thought actual silk was kind of matt rather than shiny satin?

Get on Beautypie and get their limited Christmas gift one.

It's 22 momme and absolutely lovely.

Or, get this from Amazon

Deal of the day: ALASKA BEAR 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase for Hair and Skin Health, Hypoallergenic, Standard Size 50x75cm Natural Silk Pillow Case Slip Beauty Sleep (1pc, Ivory White) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KDL108M/ref=cmswwrcppapiglttfabcdllW76R34VB0ZP90GWJA67S?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It's 19 momme but still very very nice.

And yes, silk pillow cases are so worth it imo

That's a really good deal, thanks @littlelordfuckleroy

littlelordfuckleroy · 20/11/2021 18:25

I don't understand how momme works, but the difference between 19 and 22 is very noticeable!

I use a silk sleeping hat. It keeps my hair from moving around and it actually looks exactly the same on the morning as when I went to bed.

I wear a silk sleep mask AND silk pillowcases. But I'm a bit obsessed. Blush I just like how they feel.

This is the mask:

I also have silk duvets and silk duvet covers (bought direct from the factory in China when I lived there) that I use in summer.

I'm after one too. Saw this which says it's 22 mm and it's a good price - but Shein? Can it really be good?

I've bought the Beautypie one as a Christmas treat.

I rate mine!
No more wiry morning hair or creased face

Would you mind telling me where did you get your hat from @Calmestofallthechickens?

I have a John Lewis one. It is absolutely lovely and not so many ££

Calmestofallthechickens · 20/11/2021 19:29

I got it from thisissilk.com. They’re about £35 but I wear it every night!

fussychica · 20/11/2021 19:29

I have a JL silk pillowcases and DS bought me a fabulous silk sleep mask last Xmas. Love them both.

AKAanothername · 20/11/2021 19:31

I buy mine from thisissilk.com/collections/all/products/snowwhite they're machine washable which is very important for me.

They also come in a lovely box so make the perfect gift, my mum loved hers.

I don't know how effective they are but DH and I both sleep well with ours.

octopusrus · 21/11/2021 10:48

Thanks everyone, looks like I'll have to fork out! Yes I'd definitely need a machine washable one.
