The fabric is on the page
Mulberry silk with its momme weight, or polyester, microfibre or viscose named as such. In the first two lines and again in the specifications.
Flair Silk Company Ireland sells mulberry silk and satin pillowcases, sheets, sleepwear and accessories across Ireland. Satin is a weave and silk is a fibre, so every page here names its own fabric rather than leaving you to guess.
Pillowcases, sheets, pyjamas, robes and accessories. Tell us what you want it to do and we will tell you which of the two is worth your money.
Mulberry silk with its momme weight, or polyester, microfibre or viscose named as such. In the first two lines and again in the specifications.
Grade 6A long fibre mulberry silk. 22 is the top of the sensible range for a pillowcase: lighter wears through, heavier stops draping.
Silk lets hair and skin slide instead of gripping. That is a property of the weave, and it is as far as we will take the claim.
A polyester satin glides much the same way, machine washes, and costs about a third as much. We would rather sell you that honestly than sell you silk you did not need.
Every pillowcase here is 51 cm by 76 cm, which fits a standard pillow. A king pillow will not fit, and that belongs on the product page rather than the returns page.
Where a figure is not published, the page says so instead of guessing at one. Ask us and we will go and find out.

If you are buying one thing, buy the thing that touches you for longest in one spot.
The most common first purchase, and the one where the difference is most noticeable. Your face and hair spend a third of the day on it, in one place.
The next piece worth having in silk, because it touches the rest of you. Ours is one 19 momme flat sheet rather than a set, which the page says twice.
The four or six piece microfibre set dresses everything for less than a single silk sheet costs. Different trade, honestly priced.
22 momme mulberry, the same silk as the pillowcases. The mask is cut to sit around the nose; the bonnet is cut with room for the hair you actually have.
Three items in the range are genuinely silk: the women's pyjama set, the men's lounge robe and the men's boxer shorts. The rest is satin, and says so.
Silk scratch mittens for babies from 0 to 3 months. No hard parts, nothing to come loose, and a short window in which they are useful.
Add silk pillowcases, a 100% pure silk sheet, and an eye mask. The pearlescent sheen and liquid drape deliver an instant boutique-suite vibe with real sleep benefits.
Definitely, silk bonnets and pillowcases reduce snagging, static, and moisture loss, helping curls keep definition and scalps feel calmer overnight.
Yes, low-absorbency keeps serums on your skin, creating a smoother canvas by morning, while sleek fibres preserve styles so blow-dries and curls last longer with fewer touch-ups.
By crafting durable pieces that last, using timeless designs, and promoting gentle care. Longevity means fewer replacements, less landfill, and nightly luxury you'll use 7 days a week.
Absolutely, silk is thermo-regulating, keeping you cool in summer and pleasantly insulating in winter. Balanced airflow and moisture handling support steadier temps and fewer wake-ups.
Yes, think pillowcases, sheets, pyjamas, eye masks, bonnets, and simple care tips. One cohesive range streamlines the switch to skin-kind, hair-friendly comfort every night.
Weight, not thread count. Silk thread is too fine to count usefully, so it is weighed instead: momme is the weight in pounds of a 45 inch by 100 yard piece. Our pillowcases, eye mask, bonnet and baby mittens are 22 momme, the silk flat sheet is 19 momme and the women's mulberry pyjama set is 16 momme.
Satin Sheets and 100% Pure Silk Sheet deliver subtle sheen and a tidy fall. Hang 10-15 minutes and most creases drop; a quick steam restores that boutique-suite finish.
Yes, the smooth face and gentle conductivity curb cling, helping bedding and PJs look crisp and feel calmer between washes.

By using 19-25 momme fabrics, tight weaving, and gentle-care guidance. With cold washes and air-drying, items keep their pearlescent glow and shape for years of nightly use.
Yes, silk's thermo-balancing nature and cool-to-touch feel help disperse heat and humidity, so you settle faster and enjoy deeper rest, especially with Silk Satin Bedding and breathable PJs.
Quality charmeuse offers silky glide without slide-off drama, buttery, not greasy. 100% Pure Silk Sheet and Satin Sheets stay tidy, delivering sleek comfort and a refined, hotel-fresh look.
Absolutely, practical luxury used 7 nights a week. Mix a Silk Eye Mask with Pure Silk Pillowcases or a Womens Satin Nightgown to deliver instant wow and long-term nightly comfort.
No, and the page always says which. The mulberry silk range is 100 per cent silk. The satin range is polyester or a viscose blend woven in a satin weave, which gives a similar glide at a much lower price. Both are on the site on purpose and each product page states its own fabric.
A sleep-to-lounge lineup: pillowcases, Silk Eye Mask, 100% Pure Silk Sheet, Satin Sheets, Silk Underwear For Men, Mens Satin Pyjamas Set, and Womens PJs, a curated set for nightly comfort and polished mornings.

Absolutely, silk is thermo-regulating: cool in summer, pleasantly insulating layered in winter. Products like Silk Satin Pyjamas For Men and Womens Silk Satin Pyjamas balance heat and vapour for four-season comfort.
By using ultra-smooth silk that creates less drag, helping reduce sleep creases and frizz. Pillowcases and bonnets help styles last longer, while sheets feel cool-to-touch for more restful sleep.
Yes, think Pure Silk Pillowcases, 100% Pure Silk Sheet, Satin Sheets, Silk Eye Mask, and Silk Satin Pyjamas. One cohesive collection designed to improve nights and elevate downtime with skin- and hair-friendly comfort.
No, and the site says which is which on every product page. The mulberry silk range is 100 per cent silk. The satin range is woven from polyester, which looks similar and costs a good deal less. Neither is described as the other anywhere here.
This is the short version of what we have learned selling both: what each is good at, where it is the wrong choice, and how to look after it so it is still worth having in a few years.
This is the single most useful thing to know in this category, and a lot of shops are comfortable leaving it unsaid. Satin describes how the threads are woven, not what they are made of, so a satin fabric may be silk, polyester, viscose or nylon. A product called a satin silk pillowcase can legitimately contain no silk at all. On this site the fabric is named in the first two lines of every product page and again in the specifications.
Momme is a weight, not a thread count. Silk thread is too fine to count usefully, so a standard piece is weighed and the weight in pounds is the momme. Higher means denser and longer wearing. Our pillowcases, eye mask, bonnet and baby mittens are 22 momme; the silk flat sheet, the men's robe and the men's boxers are 19; the women's silk pyjama set is 16. Bedding wants the higher number because it takes friction in one place every night. Garments want the lower one, so they hang and dry.
Grade describes the raw fibre rather than the finish. 6A is the long fibre grade, and long fibres are what keep a surface even through years of washing. Short fibre silk works loose and roughens at the seam.
Two things, both properties of the fibre. It reduces friction, so hair and skin slide across it instead of being gripped and tugged. And it moves moisture rather than holding it, which is why the same silk sheet suits a warm night and a cool one.
What it does not do is change how your skin ages or repair hair that is breaking for another reason. We do not publish effectiveness percentages and we do not claim a medical or dermatological outcome, because we cannot stand behind one.
When it is going in the machine every week. Our satin range washes cold on a gentle cycle, resists stains and creases, and costs roughly a third of the silk equivalent. Silk wants cold water, an enzyme-free detergent, no bleach, no dryer and shade drying. A silk pillowcase washed badly lasts less time than a satin one washed properly, so be honest about which you will actually do.
Cold water at 30 degrees or below. Hand wash, or a gentle machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. A detergent with no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sunlight and keep it away from the dryer, because heat is what ages silk. Iron on the lowest setting if you iron it at all.
Every pillowcase on this site is 51 cm by 76 cm, which fits the standard pillow size sold here. If yours is a king, or a contoured memory foam shape, measure it first. A case stretched over a pillow it was not cut for wears at the seam, and that is the one failure that is not the fabric's fault.
