A Mulberry Park Silks pillowcase is a timeless investment in luxury, beauty, and wellness. With a wide variety of shades, our silk pillowcase collection can also help you express your unique personal style. Today, we're focusing on our coastal blue palette, a colorway that is especially near and dear to us. We are based in Branford, a beautiful town along the Connecticut coast, where we are surrounded by natural coastal blues, from the changing shades of the Long Island Sound to the endless sky above our shoreline. For us, coastal blues bring feelings of calm, comfort, and natural beauty. We think they'll do the same for you.


The Psychology of Blue: Color Theory Meets Bedroom Bliss

Steel Blue Bedding

In color theory, blue stands as one of the most psychologically impactful hues, renowned for its ability to evoke feelings of calm, serenity, and peace. This cool-toned color family has been scientifically proven to lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and promote deeper, more restful sleep, making it the perfect color choice for bedroom environments where quality rest is paramount.

Blue operates on the cooler end of the spectrum, creating a sense of spaciousness and tranquility that transforms any bedroom into a personal sanctuary. Unlike warm colors that energize and stimulate, blue's inherent properties encourage relaxation and mental clarity, supporting your body's natural circadian rhythms for optimal sleep throughout the night.

The Mulberry Park Silks Advantage

Want a Silk Pillowcase?

Not Sure which One Is Best?

When comparing silk pillowcase options, quality and value matter significantly. While brands like SLIP, Blissy, Brooklinen, and LilySilk offer various products, Mulberry Park Silks stands out for several key reasons:

Quality: We use 100 percent pure mulberry silk of the highest grade, 6A, in a lustrous charmeuse weave across our momme weight options. Our silk is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified for safety-a certification not all brands can claim.

Value: Our 22 momme queen silk pillowcases retail for $67, compared to SLIP's $105 and Blissy's $105.95 for similar quality. This makes luxury silk accessible without compromising on standards.

Variety: We offer an expanding range of color options with both hidden zipper and envelope closure types, giving customers flexibility in their choices.

Trust: Unlike many online brands or those selling only through Amazon, we're USA-based with our headquarters, warehouse, and customer service division located right here in Branford, CT. When you call our offices, you speak to one of our silk experts in person.

Why Choose Silk Over Cotton, Satin, or Polyester?

Superior Hair Benefits

Unlike a cotton pillowcase, which can create friction against hair strands, silk's smooth surface helps prevent frizzy hair, bedhead, and the annoying tangles many people experience after a night on traditional pillowcases. Protein-based silk is also naturally hydrating, to help your tresses stay healthy and more manageable.

Skin Health Advantages

The reduced friction also minimizes sleep wrinkles on skin, helping you wake up looking refreshed rather than creased. Silk also helps your skin retain precious moisture; is hypoallergenic; and naturally temperature-regulating. While satin pillowcases made from polyester may claim similar benefits, they lack the beauty and wellness properties of real silk.

Natural Hypoallergenic Properties

Pure mulberry silk is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mold, and bacteria, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin or eczema, psoriasis, or acne concerns. This is why dermatologists often recommend silk products over synthetic alternatives that can trap heat and moisture against the skin.

Care Instructions: Maintaining Your Silk Investment

Proper washing ensures your silk pillowcase maintains its beauty and benefits for years. And silk care is easier than you may think. You can wash silk pillowcases with a gentle detergent made for silk. Turn inside out and place in a mesh laundry bag. Run on a delicate cycle in lukewarm water. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water without wringing, then air dry away from direct sunlight. Never put your silk pillowcase in the dryer or use fabric softener or bleach. With proper care, your silk case will maintain its slip and smoothness for many weeks and months of nightly use.

Available Sizes and Closures

Our coastal blue collection is available in standard, queen, and king sizes. Choose between our envelope closure for a clean, seamless look, or our hidden zipper closure for secure positioning throughout the night. Both closure types maintain the pillowcase's elegant appearance while ensuring your pillow stays perfectly positioned as you sleep.

The Perfect Gift for Anyone (Including You!)

Looking for the best gift for someone special? Our coastal blue silk pillowcases make exceptional presents for anyone who values luxury, wellness, and beautiful sleep. Unlike some pricier options from other brands, our quality and price point make silk more accessible. Consider pairing with our gift cards for the ultimate thoughtful gift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does a Mulberry Park Silks pillowcase compare to a SLIP pure silk pillowcase?

A: While SLIP pure silk pillowcase options retail for $105, our comparable 22 momme queen size offers the same 6A grade mulberry silk quality for just $67, providing exceptional value without compromising on luxury or performance.

Q: What's the difference between your silk pillowcases and a Blissy silk pillowcase?

A: Our silk pillowcases offer superior value compared to a Blissy silk pillowcase, which retails for $105.95. Rather than offering only one silk weight (or momme) we offer three unique silk weights (19, 22 and 30 so there is a perfect silk weight for everyone) Our Grade 6A mulberry silk carries the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification, having been tested for over 1,000 chemicals and held to rigerous standards (more stringent than the United States even requires). In addition, we offer a more accessible price point along with USA-based customer service (right here in Connecticut).

Q: Will silk pillowcases really help with frizz?

A: Absolutely! Silk's smooth surface creates less friction than cotton or synthetic materials, which significantly reduces frizz and bedhead. Many customers notice a dramatic improvement in their hair's manageability after just a few nights of use.

Q: How often should I wash my silk pillowcase?

A: You can wash your silk pillowcase weekly, just like any other pillowcase. The key is using cold water and a gentle cycle, or hand washing with lukewarm water for the most delicate care. Proper washing maintains the silk's benefits and extends its lifespan.
