FAQ'S Monday Silks
What is Mulberry Silk?
Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk available for purchase. It is 100% natural, odorless and hypoallergenic. Mulberry silk contains a natural protein called sericin that reduces the possibility of an allergic reaction.
How do I care for mulberry silk?
Caring for your mulberry silk pillowcase is easy. Monday Silks recommends hand washing or machine washing on a gentle cycle with a silk-friendly detergent in cool-warm water. If using a washing machine, use a delicates washing bag to prevent snagging. Hang to dry out of direct sunlight. This gentle care helps preserve the silk and extends the life of your pillowcase or cot sheet.
What is a momme?
Momme(mm) is used to measure density of silk fabrics and provide understanding of the quality in a silk fabric.
For silk bedding, you’ll want to get something above 20mm so it can withstand daily use and regular washing. Monday Silks use high grade 22mm.
Can Silk help with hair loss and Postnatal hair loss?
Yes, silk pillowcases can be especially beneficial for those experiencing hair loss, including babies and postnatal hair loss. The smooth, gentle surface of our 100% pure mulberry silk reduces friction, a leading cause of breakage and shedding in fragile hair. By allowing your hair to glide effortlessly while you sleep, silk helps protect delicate strands, minimises stress on hair follicles, and supports the hair’s natural moisture balance—promoting healthier, stronger hair over time.

Let customers speak for us
My silk hair bands are great quality & were delivered quickly.
After a fair bit of research of where to get good-quality silk in NZ, I decided to go with Monday Silks due to the transparency of the site (history and ownership, momme-count etc.). I bought two pillowcases to take advantage of the free shipping with my eye-mask purchase, and I am so glad I did! The colour is nice - not too dark, and they feel soft like a cloud and very durable. Products were carefully packaged with fast delivery. I was so impressed I bought another pair for my parents!
Beautiful, silky, and a great fit!
Made the perfect gift for my wiggly lil niece and her curls.
Will definitely be back!
I got the black one. Fantastic blackout, soothing and already can’t live without it. Would you guys consider making pjs - I’d buy them !!
Absolutely brilliant. Love them.Great service, really appreciated. Thank you

Love the colour mix in the packet, and the size of the scrunchies. :)
Sheets are perfect. Have made a huge difference to baby’s head rubbing. No more hair loss. The customer service was also amazing.
Silk Pillowcase Standard - Black | Monday Silks NZ
these pillowcases are so amazing to sleep on. Recently I received one with a face mask too as a gift and have now ordered more pillowcases so my partner also can enjoy the comfort
Unfortunately I’m still waiting to receive my order. Not your fault but the post service. We live in the same area and they messed up my label and didn’t contact me. I made contact and I’m still waiting for it to arrive. Highly recommend looking at new post services very frustrating as I wanted this for a reason. I placed my order last Monday
Feels soft and luxurious on my skin.
Super cute packaging, fast service. Enjoying using the scrunchies, they hold my hair well and don't cause breakage when removing. Great product.
Amazing quality, just love sleeping on my silk pillowcase. Thank you Monday Silks
Quick delivery. Much better than other silk pillowcases I have had.
