Great pillow case! Super smooth

I’m a newbie with silk textile, but I tried to verify this pillow case was real silk with whatever information was available to me. I measured and weighed my pillow case, and it is indeed 22+ momme weight. It looks and feels like real midweight silk to me as well, and if it were a different material, I don’t think it would weigh out at 22 momme (4.34 grams per square meter = 1 momme.) It seems competently made, and the color (silver gray) is exactly what I expected. As a natural material, it wrinkles with use, as expected. The wrinkles don’t take away from how comfortable it is. If you want something that doesn’t wrinkle, silk may not be for you. There are some very nice synthetic satins. It’s very smooth in one direction (the long side) but not in the other direction (the short side). I don’t know if there’s a weave that is smooth in two or more directions. The outer face is a slightly glossy satin weave, and the inner face is more matte. I’ve been sleeping on it for 2 weeks, and it already has a dozen pulled threads, possibly from my closed loop earrings, but it doesn’t seem like they should snag. The weave isn’t tight enough to prevent snagging an entire thread. A rough fingernail could snag fibers on the tightest weave, but I don’t think whole threads should catch so easily. I’ll definitely be returning the 19 momme version one (also Jimoo, also confirmed momme weight was as expected). I’m only keeping this one because I’ve already used it. If you want real silk for a good price, and you don’t mind if it starts looking a little thrashed after only a few months, this is a good choice. It will still feel good and function just fine. A 25 momme silk will be more slippery, stronger and less wrinkle prone, and if the weave is tighter, possibly less prone to threads pulling. I bought a pair of Love’s Cabin polyester satin pillow cases for $10 and honestly I think they feel more slippery in both directions and will be easier to care for. Unfortunately they don’t come with a zipper, so the pillow slides right out. I haven’t yet found a heavy synthetic satin pillow case as good as Love’s Cabin, except with a zipper. My hair responded about the same between this Jimoo silk pillow case and the Love’s Cabin polyester satin one.

Very happy with my purchase. These are REAL silk. Have been buying silk pillowcases with this company for several years. Highly recommend.

I bought 2 silk pillowcases on January 2025 just 18 months later they are ripped along the zipper line

Great pillowcase, but ordered wrong color. Returned for correct color.
