Advice on silk pillowcases please.

[catterycatcat]

I want to get some for me but also for my tween DS who's starting to get breakouts.
I had a look at the Blessy site yesterday and could not find out how much they charge. Which makes me think I can't afford them...!
Are there other brands people would recommend that won't break the bank but will do the job and wash well?

I've got a debenhams one that's lasted well. No idea if the new debenhams sells them though.

Try Amazon (I know) and look for mullveru silk. I have a couple from there that were about £20- you have to hand wash silk though so bear that in mind.

Think it was called Alaska Bear

Mulberry silk 🙄

I got one from silkgifts.co.uk - came in a lovely presentation box as I’m buying as a gift, really pleased with it, might treat myself 😃

I got mine from Dunelm- it was the cheapest proper silk one I could find and is machine washable. I love mine

I buy mine from Silk Jasmine. Think they're £15 and only have silk on one side, which is good as means doesn't slip around the bed at night. I machine wash delicate.

Mine are Lilysilk.

I’ve had these ones for six years now and they’re still going strong. Machine wash with no problems.

I bought mine from John Lewis and they have lasted well

Second a Dunelm one. Mine is over a year old and is still like new. I love it. My skin and hair are so much more healthier for it.

Do they actually make a difference? Is it worth it?

Yes

Do not get blissy, not because the cases are shit but because the website and price you THINK you are paying is not clear at all until it’s too late! Plus they don’t mention the extra custom cost/import when it arrives in uk … so that was another £15+ so about £150 for 4 pillowcases! … lesson learnt!

I have my dunelm silk pillowcase on a Sleep Easy pillow, made such a difference to my skin. I don’t wake up with deep lines that take a while to “settle” anymore!

Ok what do they do though? Do they make your hair shiny or something?

My hair is smoother when I wake up than if I use a cotton one. And for me the major benefit is not waking up with a massive line across my cheek that takes a while day to fade.

Thanks for the feedback about Blissy, I’m being spammed on Instagram with adverts for these but am going to order from Dunelm now I think!

And thanks for starting this thread as I want to get one for MIL and SIL for Christmas!

I got mine from Lilysilk. They often have discount codes floating around. I haven't noticed a difference with my skin (long term acne sufferer) but my hair is less of a birds nest in the morning.

My M&S one is lovely and goes in machine in a delicate wash.

I think Blissy ship from the US so you may have to pay VAT and customs handling fees to the courier.

I have Lily Silk 25 Momme pillowcases with the concealed zip. They aren't the cheapest but they are fine in the washing machine and robust. Cheaper/thinner pillowcases can be a bit see through and are more delicate. I think the zipped pillowcases last longer as the envelope ones move more so wear more quickly from friction IYSWIM?

I would either go for cheap and cheerful from Amazon to see if it helps or the best quality when there is a discount.

I recommend the zipped pillow cases, too.

Blissy don't incur any extra charges and have fast delivery- I have ordered several for me and as presents. The colour ranges are really good. Make sure you are using the uk website. I think some pps have not managed that hence confusion about prices etc.

I have also used John Lewis which are excellent as well, but not as exciting colours. They are 20% off as well for Black Friday.
