Is this just for women or beauty purposes?

Not at all. SoleSleep is engineered as performance sleep equipment. While silk has beauty benefits, we focus on the performance advantages: temperature regulation, reduced friction for better sleep quality, and morning readiness. Many male athletes and biohackers use silk pillowcases as part of their recovery stack.

How is this different from cheap satin alternatives?

Satin is usually synthetic polyester that can trap heat and create static. Real silk is a natural protein fiber that breathes, regulates temperature, and won't cause hair static. Our 25-momme silk is also thicker and more durable than most alternatives.

Will this actually improve my sleep quality?

Silk naturally regulates temperature, which helps prevent night sweats and overheating—common causes of sleep disruption. The smooth surface also reduces tossing and turning from friction. While it won't fix underlying sleep issues, it optimizes your sleep environment.

Is it really worth the investment?

Consider cost per use: you sleep ~8 hours daily, 365 days a year. A quality pillowcase that lasts years and potentially improves sleep quality offers strong ROI. Plus, our 60-day guarantee lets you test the performance risk-free.

How do I care for it?

Machine wash cold on gentle cycle, air dry or low heat tumble dry. Unlike delicate silk items, these are designed for regular washing. Wash weekly like any pillowcase.

Why envelope closure instead of zipper?

Zippers are the #1 failure point in silk pillowcases—they snag and tear the fabric. Our envelope closure is more durable and actually easier to put on/take off.

What's the difference between 22 and 25 momme?

Momme measures silk weight/thickness. Higher momme = more durable. Most brands use 19-22 momme to cut costs. Our 25-momme silk lasts longer and feels more substantial.

Will my head slide off the pillow?

Quality silk has the right amount of slip—smooth enough to reduce friction but not slippery. Poor quality satin can be too slick, but genuine mulberry silk provides the optimal balance.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, silk is naturally hypoallergenic and less likely to harbor dust mites and bacteria compared to cotton. Many people with skin sensitivities find silk gentler.

How long will it last?

With proper care, quality silk pillowcases can last 3-5 years of regular use. The envelope closure eliminates the zipper failure point that kills most silk pillowcases.

Do I need special detergent?

No, though gentle/silk-specific detergents can extend lifespan. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Cold water and air drying are most important.

What if I don't see results?

We offer a 60-day performance guarantee. If you don't notice better sleep comfort, easier mornings, or overall satisfaction, return for a full refund.

Is this available in different colors?

Currently available in classic colors that work in any bedroom: Charcoal, Natural, and Navy. We prioritize performance over aesthetics—these colors hide wear and work with any decor.
