After a rather tumultuous few years, we are finally the proud owners of a new bed. Naturally, a new bed means new bedding and of course, pillowcases. I had heard of the benefits of a silk pillowcase and wanted to try them out for myself.
Silk Pillowcases from Calidad Home
Calidad Home offers some of the best silk pillowcases on the market using 100% Mulberry Silk. Boasting 22 Momme Grade 6A Long Strand Silk, Calidad Home boast their silk pillowcases are the silkiest and finest. What’s more, their silk pillowcases are made with durability and quality in mind, so you won’t need to replace their cases for a long period of time. Michelle, the founder of Calidad Home spent 12 months researching and testing a variety of silks to provide her customers with the best silk pillowcases on the market. Michelle explains that it is a misconception that silk pillowcases lack the durability and ultimately longevity of more traditional cotton pillowcases. Amongst her growing clientele are her two young children who have been using her silk pillowcases and the products have passed this ultimate test!
Michelle’s love for silk has enabled her to develop other silk-based products, including eye masks, scrunchies and hooded blankets.
Calidad Home is a family-run business located in the South Coast, UK. Supporting small businesses is a fabulous way to do your Christmas shopping. And with free UK delivery and with gift boxes available, a silk pillowcase from Calidad home would make the perfect gift.
The Benefits of Silk Pillowcases
The benefits of sleeping on silk pillowcases have been proven through extensive research. Here are just a few:
- Silk Pillowcases can help reduce lines and wrinkles. The smooth fibres reduce the amount of pulling and tugging on the face throughout the night. Ultimately, they reduce skin creasing as you sleep.
- If like me, you have ever suffered from acne, you might have heard of the benefits of silk pillowcases for your skin. Silk absorbs less moisture from the skin than traditional cotton pillowcases. Thus more of the natural moisture from your face can stay on your face and reduce dryness.
- As silk pillowcases are less absorbent, less of the skin’s natural moisture is deposited, and then soaked into your pillowcase. This makes them much more hygienic than cotton pillowcases.
- Silk pillowcases are hypoallergenic making them ideal for allergy sufferers.
- Calidad Home silk pillowcases are machine washable. It is recommended to wash them on a 30-degree cycle. Furthermore, they dry much more quickly than traditional pillowcases.
- Do you suffer from bed hair? Well, you can wave goodbye to waking up with your hair like a crow’s nest with a silk pillowcase. Silk is smooth and sleek on the hair.
- During the summer months, a silk pillowcase is an ideal surface to sleep on. Silk doesn’t retain heat and remains cool.
- For those who suffer from eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions, a silk pillowcase can help relieve some of the symptoms.
My Review of My Silk Pillowcase
I have been using my silk pillowcase from Calidad Home for about a week now. I do sleep rather well anyway, and thankfully I haven’t noticed a change in my regular sleep pattern. The pillowcase is incredibly comfortable. It feels luxurious and so smooth to the touch.
It doesn’t become dirty like other pillowcases I have used tend to do. Unfortunately, do have greasy, acne-prone skin and the moisture from my face hasn’t transferred onto the silk pillowcase as it usually does with other pillowcases. I love the fact that this pillowcase features a zip so the pillow sits nicely in the case.
I have washed my pillowcase and it hasn’t bobbled or shrunk in size. It did dry incredibly quickly, which is an achievement in itself in this cold December weather. The colour is beautiful too. The pillowcase looks attractive on the bed and is inviting to sleep on.
All members of our household will have their own silk pillowcases from Calidad Home very soon as I am incredibly impressed with the quality and functionality of their products. And their set of scrunchies will make the perfect Christmas gift for my daughter!
