ZIMASILK silk pillowcase

The pillowcase she uses every night, made in real silk rather than the satin she would buy for herself.

The one catch19 momme is the bottom of the range the brief allows, and the listing's claim that it matches 21 or 22 momme is not backed by any measurement

Sold on Amazon UK as: ZIMASILK 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, 19 Momme, 50 x 75cm, White

Is it worth it?

Yes, for a mum who has everything but still sleeps on cotton. The ZIMASILK pillowcase is 100% mulberry silk on both sides, not satin, at 19 momme, with a hidden zip, in the standard 50 by 75cm size. The catch is the weight of the silk: 19 momme is the very bottom of what the brief allows, and the listing argues it is as thick as 21 or 22 momme without giving any figure to back that. Care is unclear too: the details table lists both machine and hand washing, then tells you to check the label.

Is it for you?

Get it if
  • A mum who would never buy herself real silk
  • A standard 50 by 75cm pillow
  • A present that can be matched to her bedroom, from more than 35 colours
Skip it if
  • Anyone who wants the heaviest silk: 22 momme and above is thicker
  • A square or king-size pillow in this size option
  • Someone who will not hand wash or use a delicate cycle

The honest read

What wins you over
  • 100% mulberry silk on both sides, not satin or a blend, by the listing
  • 19 momme, which meets the brief
  • A hidden zip, so the pillow stays put
  • Dispatched by Amazon, with a 180-day cover from the brand
Where it gives
  • 19 momme is the bottom of the range the brief allows, and the listing's claim that it matches 21 or 22 momme is not backed by any measurement
  • The care advice is muddled: the details table says machine and hand wash, then says to check the label
  • Sold by ZIMASILK EU, a third-party seller, though Amazon dispatches it

How we checked this · Researched, not handled · Oct 2026

Researched from the Amazon UK listing and the other sources listed here. We have not handled this product. The catch comes from the Amazon UK listing (15 October 2026).

  • Fibre (100% mulberry silk, grade 6A), weight (19 momme, both sides), closure (hidden zip), size (standard 50 by 75cm) and colour (white) taken from the Amazon UK listing, checked 15 October 2026.
  • The catch is on the listing itself: it gives 19 momme and, in the same bullet, claims thickness comparable to 21 and 22 momme. Its care field lists machine and hand washing and then advises checking the label. The listing's health and beauty claims are not repeated here.
  • Sold by ZIMASILK EU and dispatched from Amazon; in stock with a standard Add to Basket button at the time of checking.

What momme is the ZIMASILK silk pillowcase?
19 momme, on both sides, by the listing. That is a common weight for silk pillowcases; heavier ones are 22 momme or more.
Is the ZIMASILK pillowcase real silk or satin?
Real silk. The listing gives 100% mulberry silk, grade 6A, on both sides. Satin is a weave usually made from polyester.
Does the ZIMASILK silk pillowcase have a zip?
Yes, a hidden zip along the open end, rather than an envelope flap.
Can you machine wash the ZIMASILK silk pillowcase?
The details table lists machine and hand washing but also says to check the label. Follow the care label in the box; hand washing is the cautious choice.
