This pillowcase has a housewife envelope design to wrap loosely around any pillow.
The LilySilk 22 Momme Housewife Envelope Silk Pillowcase is made from the finest 100% Grade 6A Mulberry Silk with a charmeuse 600-thread-count weave. 🐛
This design is one up from the entry-level 19 momme option but still more affordable than the very luxurious 25 momme silk pillowcase.
LilySilk's patented Lilyáurea
All LilySilk silk products are made using Lilyáurea, an original patented silk technology that relies on over 40 years of selective hybridisation and breeding rare wild silkworms.
This results in a silk that is pure, natural, and with a golden yellow colour that doesn't require secondary dyeing.
Most dyed silk removes sericin from the surface of the silk.
By not removing this surface sericin, LilySilk products are kinder to the environment and also have more antibacterial properties.
They are more sensitive, though, and it's recommended to keep Lilyáurea out of direct sunlight. ☀️
LilySilk products are also OEKO-TEX certified and free from harmful substances.
The 100% natural mulberry silk is rich in 18 different kinds of beneficial amino acids, enhancing silk's natural properties.
The LilySilk pillowcases are a dream to sleep on and keep hair smooth and skin wrinkle-free.
We found the LilySilk pillowcase particularly soft and comfortable. 🥰
The pillowcase is also dual-sided, so you can turn your pillow around if need be
While secondary dyeing is not required, LilySilk products are available in a range of colours and patterns to suit any bedroom decor.
The LilySilk 22 momme silk pillowcase has a housewife envelope design, meaning it can simply be wrapped around your pillow like a standard pillowcase.
Multiple pillowcase sizes are available, but we found the pillowcase to have a rather loose fit.
LilySilk delivery
LilySilk pillowcases are delivered in sturdy cardboard envelopes, which are easy to open up with a simple tear design.
We received an email to track the delivery status as soon as the order was placed. ✈️
The actual pillowcase is protected in tissue paper.
In addition to the pillowcases, the packaging also includes a range of beautifully designed cards with information on silk and the LilySilk brand.
LilySilk products are made to order, so the brand never overproduces or wastes raw materials.
Excess fabric is also used to make secondary products like silk eye masks and scrunchies, which are often included as free gifts.
You can hand-wash LilySilk pillowcases at 30°C or machine-wash cold on the gentlest cycle available, but professional dry cleaning is recommended. 🧼
LilySilk offers a 100-night trial period, and you can return or exchange your pillowcase within that period if you're not completely satisfied.
While the trial is largely risk-free in that you can use the pillowcase, you will have to cover the return shipping fees.
LilySilk 22 Momme Envelope Silk Pillowcase | |
Material: | 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk |
Sides: | Dual-sided |
Fit: | Housewife envelope design |
Washing instructions: | Hand wash or machine-wash cold |
Trial period: | 100-night trial |
What we love about this product: | High-quality design and the silkiest feel |
With a depth of 30 cm (11.8 inches), this sheet will even fit over the deepest mattresses.
The LilySilk 25 Momme Seamless Luxury Fitted Sheet is at the top of its range.
It is made of 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk with a thread count of 750.
Why choose silk?
Silk itself is skin-friendly and highly breathable, which makes this an excellent material for anyone struggling with allergies or sensitive skin. 🤧
It's also glossy, smooth, and super soft, providing that real glide-into-bed feeling.
If you’re looking for a really luxurious feel, then silk is the way to go.
LilySilk products are also OEKO-TEX-certified to be free from any harmful chemicals.
LilySilk fitted sheet design
While this sheet has a seamless design for a silky-smooth sleep, it does feature an elastic band around the edge to wrap around your mattress.
With an extra-deep fit of 30 cm (11.8 inches), it can fit comfortably even over thicker mattresses.
But the sheet works just as well over thinner mattresses.
The glossy material is available in a range of colours, including navy blue, rosy pink, black, natural white, dark teal, coffee, deep purple, silver-grey, greyish khaki, and lavender. 🎨
The LilySilk fitted sheet sizes
The LilySilk luxury fitted sheets are available in a range of sizes, including:
- Single: 90 x 190 cm (3’ x 6’3”)
- Double: 140 x 190 cm (4’6” x 6’3”)
- King: 150 x 200 cm (5’ x 6’6”)
- Super King: 180 x 200 cm (6’ x 6’6")
You’ll notice that the LilySilk double size is slightly larger than the traditional UK double size (135 x 190 cm / 4’5” x 6’3”) - this is the case across LilySilk’s range - and means your fitted sheet may fit a tad more loosely. 🤨
The other sizes are a perfect match, though.
Silk fitted sheet washing instructions
While LilySilk recommends professional dry-cleaning, you can safely hand-wash or machine-wash your silk sheet at 30°C.
Ensure that you use the gentlest cycle available and that you're minimising spin time.
You should avoid using bleach or harsh detergents; instead, opt for neutral or special silk detergents. 🧴
LilySilk silk products cannot be tumble-dried and should be hung up to dry away from direct sunlight.
LilySilk delivery conditions
The LilySilk 25 Momme Seamless Luxury Fitted Sheet qualifies for free delivery across the UK.
If you’re not happy with your purchase, you can return the product within 30 days - as long as it’s unused and still with all original tags and labels attached.

LilySilk bedding set materials and design
All items are made of 22 Momme 100% Grade A mulberry silk with a thread count of 600, which indicates fantastic quality. 🐛
The materials are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning they're guaranteed to be eco-friendly and non-toxic.
The 22 momme set is one step up from the 19 momme set, but 22 momme products are estimated to last twice as long as 19 momme products with the same amount of care.
There are many reasons you may choose silk bedding, including the soft, smooth feel, the natural proteins that protect your skin and reduce any potential allergic reactions, and enhanced breathability and heat insulation. ✨
The LilySilk 22 Momme bedding set is available in a wide range of colours, including navy blue, rosy pink, black, natural white, dark teal, deep purple, silver grey, silver blue, bright coffee, charcoal purple, and taupe.
The cover of the silk duvet is made from 19 momme silk in ivory.
While you can choose specific colours for all other items, the cover of the silk duvet is set.

Understanding the quality of LilySilk products
LilySilk sells high-quality 100% mulberry silk products. 🌿
But how does this differ from silk items you may find at a high street retailer?
Introducing LilySilk’s patented Lilyáurea
LilySilk has distinguished itself in the silk industry with Lilyáurea [1], an original patented silk technology. 👩🔬
This unique process is built upon over 40 years of selective hybridisation and involves breeding rare wild silkworms.
The end product of the Lilyáurea process is a silk that is pure, natural, and characterised by a golden yellow hue.
The distinctive colour is intrinsic to the silk and doesn’t require any secondary dyeing, a testament to the purity of the process. 💛
One of the key aspects of Lilyáurea is that it retains the surface sericin, a protein inherent in silk.
By keeping this component, LilySilk’s products are not only more environmentally friendly due to less processing but also possess greater antibacterial properties.
These naturally occurring compounds enhance the already impressive properties of silk, making LilySilk’s Lilyáurea products a choice that combines innovation, luxury, and natural goodness.
What is mulberry silk?
Mulberry silk [2] is considered the highest quality silk available for purchase. 🙌
It originates from the Bombyx mori silkworm, which is fed exclusively on the leaves of the mulberry tree.
This diet results in a silk that’s smoother, and more lustrous and durable than any other variety of silk.
The fibres of mulberry silk are long and uniform with a natural, pearl-like sheen that gives it a unique, luxurious appearance.
This type of silk is also hypoallergenic, making it a good choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies. 🤧
These characteristics are what make mulberry silk highly prized in the world of luxury bedding and beyond.
Understanding silk momme
Momme is a unit of measurement for the weight of silk, similar to cotton thread count, that runs on a scale from 6 to 30.
The heavier the silk, the higher the momme, and the more durable the material will be.
A silk product with a higher momme count will also feel softer and more luxurious.
LilySilk’s products are available in 19-momme mulberry silk, 22-momme silk, and even 25-momme silk.
OEKO-TEX and GOTS certifications
LilySilk is committed to a high standard of production.
All LilySilk products carry the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification [3], which means all items have been verified to be free from harmful chemicals. 🧪
Starting with their Fall 2023 Collection, a selection of LilySilk products are now also GOTS-certified [4].
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the gold standard for organic silk certification, ensuring that the entire supply chain, from silk production to the final product, meets stringent criteria. 🤓
Is LilySilk ethical?
Navigating the ethical aspects of any brand can be a complex task, and LilySilk is no different.
When it comes to animal welfare, LilySilk sources its silk from silkworms that feed on mulberry leaves, a process that naturally occurs in the lifecycle of the silkworm. 🐛
However, it’s worth noting that silk production, in general, can be a point of contention for vegans, as the process involves the boiling of silkworm cocoons.
The very nature of silk production doesn’t align with vegan principles, something potential customers with strong vegan values might want to consider.
When we shift the conversation to product quality, LilySilk shows a commitment to high standards by offering a product that is designed to last, with a zero-waste approach to reduce the overall impact on the environment. 🌿
If, however, the nature of silk production is a no-go, you may want to look at a few vegan silk options, most commonly made from eucalyptus.
We've recommended two of our favourite options below.
Vegan silk alternatives:
Who are LilySilk bedding products suitable for?
So you may have thought about investing in silk bedding but you’re not sure.
The best silk bedding does come at a higher price, so this isn’t necessarily a decision you’d take likely. 🤔
Let’s consider who LilySilk bedding products would be suitable for.
Luxury seekers who want quality bedding
For those who prioritise luxury and high-quality materials in their home decor, LilySilk’s products are a prime choice. ⭐️
Style aficionados may also enjoy the aesthetic appeal of the range, with its natural sheen and luxury feel.
The brand's dedication to fine mulberry silk and careful craftsmanship is apparent in each bedding piece, offering a truly luxurious sleep experience.
People who care about their sleep
LilySilk bedding is also an excellent choice for those who understand the importance of a good night’s sleep.
The natural properties of silk, such as its temperature-regulating capabilities and soft texture, contribute to a comfortable and restful night. ❄️
Allergy sufferers
Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic.
Many of the LilySilk products are also sold in their natural state, without extra dyes.
This makes LilySilk bedding particularly suitable for allergy sufferers. 🤧
Those looking for durability
Those looking at making a long-term bedding investment or environmentally-conscious consumers who want to reduce overall waste may do well choosing a material like high-quality silk.
Silk is incredibly durable, and your LilySilk products are likely to last a very long time.
Skin and hair health advocates
Finally, LilySilk bedding can be a great option for those concerned about skin and hair health.
Silk’s smooth surface can help reduce friction, which can benefit both skin and hair. 💋
This makes LilySilk a beauty-conscious choice for your sleeping environment.
Who are LilySilk bedding products not suitable for?
While silk can be a wise choice for many, it may not be the best fit for everyone.
So let’s consider who LilySilk bedding products may not be suitable for.
Budget shoppers
Silk bedding is generally more expensive than other types of bedding. 🤑
The premium pricing of LilySilk bedding may be a deterrent for budget-conscious shoppers.
The cost reflects the quality and craftsmanship of LilySilk, but it might not fit all budgets.
Those looking for more affordable (but still luxuriously-feeling) bedding may want to look at Panda Bedding instead.
Vegans
Given the nature of silk production, LilySilk products may not align with vegan principles.
The process, even when done ethically, involves silkworms and may not be suitable for those following a strict vegan lifestyle.
That's why eucalyptus silk, used in some Aeyla Bedding and Ethical Bedding products, has become increasingly popular.
Low-maintenance seekers
Silk bedding requires a certain level of care to maintain its quality and longevity. 💦
Those seeking low-maintenance bedding solutions might find this extra level of care too time-consuming.
Sunlight lovers
Silk is a sensitive material and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to the sun. ☀️
LilySilk’s Lilyáurea is even more sensitive, and the products need to be kept out of direct sunlight.
For those who love basking their bedding in direct sunlight, silk might not be the best choice.
Pet owners
Silk is a very delicate fabric and can quickly be damaged by pet claws. 🐈
Pet owners who allow their furry friends on the bed might want to consider more robust materials like the 100% cotton in DreamCloud bedding.
Unpacking LilySilk’s bedding range
While you may be more familiar with LilySilk’s clothing range, the brand actually sells a wide range of bedding products. 👗
We’ve highlighted a selection of our favourites above, but here’s a closer look at the LilySilk bedding range.
LilySilk silk sheets
LilySilk offers an exquisite range of silk sheets, including fitted sheets and flat sheets.

All fitted sheets have a depth of 30 cm (11.8 inches), so they can fit comfortably over any mattress, while the flat sheets are designed to drape over the sides of the bed.
The features of LilySilk sheets include a high momme count, indicating superior quality, a smooth finish for comfort, and breathability to help regulate temperature. 🥰
We love the LilySilk 25 Momme Seamless Luxury Fitted Sheet, one of the most premium items in the LilySilk bedding range.
LilySilk duvet covers
LilySilk also offers a wide range of silk duvet covers.
- Momme: 19, 22, and 25 momme available

- Closures: Envelope, Oxford envelope, and zipper closure options are available (not all pillowcases are available in all styles)
- Sizes: Square (65 x 65 cm / 25.6 x 25.6 inches), standard (50 x 75 cm / 19.7 x 29.5 inches), king (50 x 90 cm / 19.7 x 35.4 inches)
- Colours: Variety of different colour choices as well as prints and patterns
Silk pillowcases offer a smooth surface that can help prevent hair tangles and minimise sleep wrinkles. 👱♀️
The LilySilk 22 Momme Envelope Silk Pillowcase is a great mid-range option that feels like a dream on your skin.
LilySilk bedding sets
Bedding sets typically include a fitted sheet, duvet cover, and two pillowcases, but the LilySilk bedding sets combine a range of extras.
The LilySilk 22 Momme Seamless Silk Bedding Set, for example, includes the fitted sheet and duvet cover as the default, but you can also add a flat sheet, two different types of pillowcases, and a silk duvet. 🤩
Buying a set can ensure all your bedding matches perfectly in colour and style.
A bundle purchase also often ends up cheaper than buying each individual item separately.
LilySilk duvets
In addition to the silk duvet covers, LilySilk sells actual silk duvets.
There are a few options available:
- LilySilk silk duvet: This duvet has a silk filling and a silk outer cover for utter luxury.
- LilySilk cotton-covered silk duvet: This duvet has a silk filling and a cotton outer cover.
- LilySilk blanket: This blanket combines 70% silk and 30% viscose.
The silk floss filling combines excellent insulation with breathability for enhanced temperature regulation.
Recap of some of the best LilySilk UK bedding options:
Can you wash LilySilk products?
While you can wash LilySilk products, it’s important to take particular care. 🛀
Silk fabric is a delicate material that requires a bit more attention than your standard cotton or polyester bed sheets.
Here’s how to approach washing silk:
- Firstly, you should always check the care label on your LilySilk product. This will give you specific washing instructions that you should follow to maintain the quality and longevity of the product.
- In general, it’s recommended to hand-wash silk items in cold water.
- If using a washing machine, ensure it’s on the delicate or hand-wash cycle.
- Avoid using harsh detergents that contain bleaches or brighteners. Instead, opt for a mild detergent, ideally one specifically designed for silk.
- Never wring out your silk items to dry. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water and lay the item flat on a clean, dry towel. Roll up the towel with the silk item inside to help absorb more water, then unroll and leave the item to dry naturally.
- If your product needs to be ironed, only ever iron very gently on cold to avoid damaging the silk.
Silk should not be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as this can cause fading and damage the material. ☀️
Similarly, avoid drying silk near heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the silk to dry out and become brittle.
Silk also shouldn’t be tumble-dried as the heat and friction can damage the delicate fibres. 🔥
If you are concerned about caring for your LilySilk product, we’d recommend checking out the full LilySilk care instructions.
