Frequently asked questions
What size is this silk pillowcase?
The Akoya Pearl pillowcase measures 75 x 50 cm, the standard pillow size in the UK. It has an envelope closure rather than a zip, so there is no hardware against your face, and it holds an ordinary pillow neatly. It can be bought singly, as a pair or as a set of four.
What does 22 momme mean on a pillowcase?
Momme is the weight used to measure silk, and a higher number means a denser fabric. At 22 momme, this pillowcase has more body than the lighter silks commonly sold for bedding, so it lies smoothly on the pillow and feels substantial under the hand rather than thin or slippery.
Can I wash a silk pillowcase?
Yes. Drowsy describes the Akoya Pearl pillowcase as fully washable. Silk is a delicate fabric, so follow the care instructions that come with it each time, and allow it to dry fully before it goes back on the pillow. Having a second pillowcase makes that much easier.
