WHY MOVE FROM COTTON TO SILK?
Cotton absorbs moisture but increases friction. Silk reduces friction and is gentler on hair and skin.
Material Differences — Clear at a Glance
EVERSILK uses natural mulberry silk; many cheaper “silks” are blended or synthetic; cotton is plant-based with different properties.
EVERSILK
100% natural mulberry silk — smooth, breathable, temperature-regulating.
Blended / Synthetic
Contains polyester or viscose — less breathable, lower sheen.
Cotton
Plant-based, absorbent, but lacks silk’s natural lustre and glide.
Specs Make the Difference
Our strict 22 momme + 6A ≥1500m — more consistent feel and durability than many 19–22 or lower spec products.

FEEL & DURABILITY
— Tested Differences
Long filaments and fewer joins equal smoother fabric and less hair breakage; blends/short filaments wear faster.
SKIN BENEFITS
Natural protein fiber reduces friction and irritation; low-quality silk/blends give inconsistent results.
HYPOALLERGENIC
— Gentle for Sensitive Skin
EVERSILK silk is rich in 16 amino acids, naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial. Made with medical-grade fibers, it is biocompatible and often recommended for sensitive skin as the pillowcase of choice.
HAIR BENEFITS
6A long filament reduces tangles and breakage; blends or synthetics can’t match the effect.

Dyeing & Safety
OEKO-TEX MATTERS
EVERSILK Dyes To Oeko-Tex Standard 100; Some Low-Cost Items May Use Untested Processes With Chemical Residues.
DURABILITY & VALUE — COST OVER TIME
Higher-spec silk and hand finish cost more up front but lower replacement frequency; cheap silks may wear out faster.
