Empress Silk Home Pure Silk Pillowcase, Queen, Blush

The Empress Silk Charmeuse pillowcase is, of course, 100% silk , made of 100% pure, long yarn mulberry silk, for a soft smooth finish with natural sheen that stays cooler and more comfortable than most other fabrics. It is generally considered the smoothest, softest, and most lustrous of all silks. It comes in an elegant blush pink color that should easily go with your existing dark color bedding, and can be quite alluring and pampering. With a generous size , and a finished 4" hem with a decorative faux piping insert, it should fit most queen /standard size pillows.For years now, people and magazines have been instructing me that these pillow cases will help preserve expensive hairdos, and also contribute to facial beauty, as they will help prevent awakening with lines in your face caused by how you slept. For years now, I've resisted the suggestion, as, frankly, it just seemed silly to me. But I finally gave in, and am now a believer. The naturally soft silk doesn't crease, stays smooth, feels pleasant to sleep on. It does work! Every woman should have one or two.These pillowcases are machine washable in the delicate cycle in cold water. They should be air dried, or may be machine dried on very low heat. Cool iron, no bleach. And, hint hint, wink, nod, they also make nice gifts. I've given several to friends, who have appreciated them.

I really love this pillowcase! It is roomy and long. Is is a traditional pillowcase without any type of closure. The silk is so very smooth against my skin, (I sleep on my side), much better feeling than many silk pillowcases I've had over my lifetime. It is thin, but don't let that stop you from trying this pillowcase...it has better quality silkiness and smoother, as well as delightfully cool every night! It feels amazing!

Bought these last year (Christmas 2012) and both my husband and I love these! We just wash and dry them with our sheets which is not gentle and they have not pulled or torn. If you move around much at night, they do slide up the pillow so that would be my only negative, but I would buy these again in a heartbeat. We may do that so we have a second pair to use one the one set is being washed.When I do need to use cotton again, it is awful! To think I used to sleep on that every night, I find that very funny. I also noticed that I must sweat a little with the cotton, which I notice my hair is not nearly as 'fresh' the next morning with the cotton. I can actually skip a hair wash when using my silk pillowcase.

My wife is the love of my life. We have been married over 30 years. I am always on the lookout for a unique and special gift that I know that she will enjoy for Christmas, her birthday, our anniversary and any other special time.There is not much I can say to add to the many well-written reviews of this Empress Silk Charmeuse pillowcase at this site, but you should know that once my wife finds and breaks in a pillow she keeps it for a long time and it becomes so special that nobody else in the house dares to borrow it even in jest.My cyber-friend Stephanie DePue wrote a wonderful review that I would have never thought of otherwise and I just knew that this was something my wife would love and she does!My wife's special pillow was instantly elevated to precious after she test drove her gift. She said it is soft, smooth, comfortable and cool. She says that she sleeps better with it and appreciated the thought as well as the gift.As far as bedding goes, the Empress Silk Charmeuse pillowcase is more expensive than a good cotton pillow case, but is not much more expensive than flowers we purchase every week or a good bottle of red wine and is much less than a special dinner out. The smile on my wife's face that conveyed her genuine appreciation was well worth it.If you are you are thinking about this product and price is the only thing holding you back from buying it, you are making a mistake. You are worth it! This gift will last a long time. It will not dry up or be consumed if you follow the cleaning instructions.It is easy to clean. We wash it with our sheets on cold wash and rinse and dry it on the gentle cycle.If you are struggling to find a unique gift that your love one will really appreciate, THIS IS IT!Enjoy!

This is my favorite silk pillow case. I use silk sheets, blankets and pillows. I buy these particular pillow cases even if I purchase a silk set with its own pillow cases. These just seem to be more silky and satiny than even the most expensive ones.

These are nice pillow cases but the color is deceiving. I had to return it, wrong color.

Ordered ones like these years ago and have been looking for this brand and so happy I found it and for so much less, bought some for my daughters too! Wonderful to sleep on! Helps hair not be messy in the morning!

Lovely silk pillowcase...may be a bit thin as I buy silk pillowcases regularly...
