11 Best Silk Pillowcases We Tested for Smooth Skin and Hair 2025

Sizes: Standard, queen, king / Closure: Zipper / Material: 100% silk / Momme: 22 momme / Colors: 18 options / Care: Hand-wash or machine-wash on a gentle cycle; lay flat to dry

What makes it stand out: Inexpensive; no external branding; not too slippery

The J Jimoo Mulberry Silk Pillowcase is a consistent best-seller in Glamour gift guides, and it’s easy to see why. Despite its under-$30 price, this budget-friendly pick rivals luxury options that cost three times as much (or more!). It’s made with 100% mulberry silk, has a sleek zip closure that keeps the case snug, and comes in a wide range of colors including darker tones that help camouflage the inevitable silk stains. While it’s slightly less slippery than some of the priciest pillowcases we tested, that’s actually a perk for anyone who doesn’t love that sliding off your bed feel.

It also happens to be a great pick for men, thanks to its simple, logo-free design and neutral color options. If you’re looking to test the benefits of silk without making a big investment, this is the one to start with.

What Testers Say: “It’s cool to the touch and truly soft—better than most of the expensive options I’ve tested,” says commerce editor Jake Henry Smith. “I honestly can’t tell the difference between this and pillowcases that cost three times as much. I love the zipper closure, and it’s less slippery than others, so I don’t feel like I’m sliding around all night. My only gripe? It stains easily, but that’s silk in general.” (Just don’t, like, wear a hair mask to bed.)

Senior editor Stephanie McNeal agrees, noting it “felt just as luxe” as the $100-plus Branché one. Smith also adds,“The lack of branding and the zipper closure will appeal to guys who like to keep things simple, while colors like gray, black, white, navy, and olive fit in with masculine bedding—although it comes in many other colors too.”
