Price Points: V-shaped pillowcases

V-shaped pillowcases

Last week we featured a trio of V-shaped pillows, it’s obvious that we should follow up with a range of V-shaped pillowcases.

I purchased a pillow, as I said I would, and I’m fairly happy with it; I eventually opted for one from Slumberdown. Unfortunately, it could have done with having more filling and being a bit firmer for my preference. I’ll give this one to Justin, and get myself another one.

Anyhow, back to the V-shaped pillowcases… The one that I bought included two bright white pillowcases, which is very useful – I can use them as ‘under-pillowcases’. However, they don’t match the bedding; I want something in cream or very pale yellow.

I just may treat myself to a 100% silk pillowcase when I buy a firmer pillow. The material is noted as being very kind to skin and hair and temperature controlling – all making for a quality night’s sleep!

Adding a luxurious touch with a silk pillowcase

Calidad Home silk pillowcase | H is for Home

We were sent a silk pillowcase to review by Calidad Home; it’s made of 100% A Grade, long-strand, 22 momme mulberry silk. Apparently, 22 momme (pronounced ‘moe-me’) is the perfect weight for the job; not too flimsy for 8 hours of continuous use and not so stiff as to feel rough against the face. A silk pillowcase is something I’ve always wanted to try as it’s meant to have so many benefits.

Mulberry silk is meant to be good for the skin – especially if it’s sensitive. It’s claimed to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles as the material doesn’t dehydrate the skin. In addition, there’s less friction between skin and pillowcase if it’s made of silk rather than cotton or linen. Recently, silk has begun being used for underclothing for people who suffer from skin conditions such as eczema – go figure.

If you have hair like mine that tangles at the slightest touch, a silk pillowcase is a godsend! Also, if you’re prone to night sweats, silk draws heat and moisture away from your skin without the fibre getting damp and clammy. Conversely, on cold nights, it helps maintain body heat; as its low conductivity properties keep warm air close to the skin.

 

The pillowcase has a practical zip rather than the usual flap to keep your pillow nice and secure inside. Mulberry silk is surprisingly easy to launder – a cool wash (30ºC or below) on a delicates cycle followed by a gentle tumble dry is all that’s needed.

After experiencing the feeling of silk against my cheek, cotton, linen or – God forbid – polyester just aren’t satisfactory materials any longer.

If I’ve convinced you to make the switch to silk, Calidad Home offer customers a 30-day money back guarantee; so if you don’t love your silk pillowcase, simply return it and they’ll give you a complete refund.
