]]>Silk is a delicate yet durable fabric that requires gentle care.
Pretreat stains immediately by blotting to prevent setting.
Use mild detergents or solutions like vinegar for stain removal.
Avoid heat, rubbing, and harsh chemicals when caring for silk.
High-quality silk clothes and linens are known for their luxurious look. But a stain or two can quickly ruin that effect. Thankfully, you don't have to replace these items with new ones. The right care can eliminate unsightly spots and preserve silk's beauty.
Not sure how to remove old stains from silk fabric? Or newer ones? The following guide walks you through getting stains out of silk easily!
Ever notice how soft a silk garment feels? The best quality silk clothing and linens have a smooth, lightweight texture that makes them seem fragile.
But silk fibers are tougher and more durable than they seem. So, an entire garment made of these natural fibers can last quite a long time. But there's a catch.
Silk also has a delicate nature that requires proper care. That means no tossing a silk item in the dryer on high heat, for example.
When it comes to stains, cleaning silk involves a gentle touch. Handling this material carefully means you can remove perspiration stains, oil stains, or other stains without affecting its quality.
Uh-oh! You've just spilled something on your silk garment—what should you do? Taking immediate steps can minimize the stain and make it easier to get rid of it entirely. You'll also be protecting this fabric from additional damage.
So, here's what to do. Blot the stain with a paper towel or cotton ball to help draw out the moisture. Otherwise, it'll set in. You can still remove it, but it'll be harder to do.
You've pretreated the stain. How do you get the actual stain out of silk garments or other items? That partly depends on the kind of stain it is. Let's go over how to handle different substances that can leave unsightly splotches on this fabric.
Wine, coffee, tea, juice, and other water stains don't need a heavy-handed approach—especially if you treat them right away.
Here's how to tackle these:
Mix a gentle laundry detergent, like Blissy Wash, or soap with lukewarm water for mild stains
Mix white vinegar or lemon juice with warm water for tougher stains
Test your cleaning solution on a small area of your silk item first to make sure it doesn't cause discoloration
Apply the solution to the stain with a clean white cloth, then leave it for a few minutes
Rinse in cool water, then gently blot it dry with a paper towel
Foundation, lipstick, and other makeup can leave smears and smudges on a silk garment.
Removing these stains involves the following steps:
Use a solution made of laundry detergent and water as with water-based stains for small or mild smudges
Try a vinegar or lemon juice and lukewarm water solution for bigger or more stubborn makeup stains
Again, test the solution first
Dab the solution onto the stain with a cloth, then let it sit for a few minutes
Rinse with cold water and blot dry
These are harder to get rid of, but not impossible.
To get oil stains out of silk:
Apply talcum powder or cornstarch to stains
Leave the powder on for a few hours or more, so it soaks up the oil
Brush the powder from the silk carefully
Removing stains is hopefully just a once in awhile problem for you. But silk does need routine care to stay in good condition.
Blissy Wash offers a great way to care for your silk garments and linens. This mild detergent doesn't have any harsh chemicals, so you can safely use it on this material.
How to use it for cleaning silk? For a machine-washed approach, just use a gentle wash cycle with cool water. Prefer to hand wash? You can use Blissy Wash and cool water to clean your silk garments.
What are the best ways to take care of silk? What should you avoid doing? Check out these tips for maintaining silk items.
Do: Treat stains as soon as possible
Don't: Rub stains, since this can make them worse
Do: Use cool water for washing silk, not warm or hot
Don't: Use any detergents or soaps with abrasive or harsh ingredients
Do: Place silk items in a mesh bag for protection in the washer
Do: Gently squeeze excess water out, then lay silk flat to air dry
Don't: Put silk in a tumble dryer, especially on a high setting
Do: Keep silk out of direct sunlight to avoid damage and fading
Do: Use a press cloth for ironing silk instead of putting the iron directly on it
Don't: Use a high or medium heat setting on your iron—always use the lowest setting
When should you throw in the towel and opt for professional cleaning? If a DIY approach doesn't remove stains—let the pros handle it.
Some stains are too stubborn to remove on your own. They might fade a bit but still show up. Leave these to your local dry cleaner, so your silk clothing and linens can look new again.
Worried that silk items might lose their sheen? From eliminating stains to washing and drying the right way, you can make sure your silk stays soft, smooth, and stylish.
]]>Unplug from devices for 24 hours on the National Day of Unplugging to improve wellbeing.
Disconnecting digitally strengthens in-person connections and self-care.
Blue light from screens disrupts sleep; Blissy Sleep Masks block light.
Detoxing from tech recharges energy and relationships.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by technology, you're not alone.
31% of US adults go online "almost constantly," according to a 2021 Pew Research Center survey [6].
90% of adults aged 18-29 use social media every day.
And it's only becoming harder to avoid screens as more immersive technologies develop, such as the Apple Vision Pro.
Studies have already shown that high screen time, blue light, and social media impact mental and physical health and/or sleep quality [1, 5, 11]. Relationships are also affected by our daily use of technology [9].
That's why it's so important to unplug, So, turn off those devices at least once a year on the Global Day of Unplugging (also known as National Day of Unplugging).
Take time away from electronics to rekindle relationships, foster mindfulness, and improve sleep.
The Global Day of Unplugging is a project designed to encourage people around the world to celebrate a screen-free time. To step back from digital devices and instead focus on one's well-being and face-to-face relationships.
This awareness campaign, created by Unplug Collaborative, sparks meaningful conversation around electronic devices.
Digital downtime allows us to appreciate the role that technology plays in our lives and to create healthier tech habits in the future [10].
The 15th annual Global Day of Unplugging will be held from sundown to sundown March 1-2, 2024.
If you're looking for community events, here is a map of Unplugged Events worldwide.
Other ways to honor the Day of Unplugging:
Plan a dinner party with loved ones
Connect with nature. Try a hike with friends, or go solo as a moving meditation.
Allow your creative spirit to shine! Create your favorite type of art.
Step away from the stress of daily life and reconnect with yourself. Practice yoga. Get a massage. Catch up on sleep—rest is productive [3].
A digital detox encourages people to embrace self-love and loved ones.
Unplugging National Day is the perfect opportunity to spend time with family members and friends. It's also a great time to prioritize your relationship. Use this time to strengthen or rekindle the bond between you and your partner.
Taking a moment to feel connected with the tangible world around us has a positive impact on both mental and physical health!
Yet another reason digital detoxing is vital: blue light from screens affects sleep patterns and overall health.
Natural blue light, such as from the sun, helps us stay alert and is a key component of circadian rhythms [5].
Chronic exposure to artificial blue light, however, can have unwanted consequences. These include poor sleep quality, disrupted sleep cycles, and difficulty falling asleep.
Poor sleep is linked to conditions like depression, obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes [2]. Inadequate sleep can affect your daily life, causing brain fog, mood swings, and fatigue.
Staring at screens can also cause eyestrain, dry eyes, and headaches [4].
Don't let blue light get you down!
Aside from digitally detoxing on the National Day of Unplugging, you can also:
Turn off electronics 2-3 hours before bed
Dim down the brightness of your devices or activate "night mode"
Switch to a red- or orange-emitting light if you like to read in bed
Elevate your sleeping environment. Wear a Blissy Sleep Mask to bed to block out light and fall asleep faster.
Blissy Silk Sleep Masks will help you prioritize wellness and better sleep during and after your digital detox.
Our luxe, mulberry silk sleep masks facilitate deeper sleep by enhancing comfort and blocking out light (even blue light).
They are meticulously crafted to ensure quality and fit, allowing you to get uninterrupted sleep.
Their gentle, ultra-soft material soothes tired eyes and promotes relaxation.

Now, Kacie is sharing even more insights with us in this exclusive bonus content post, sharing profound insights not covered in her original podcast interview. Her willingness to open up further and offer additional perspectives on overcoming trauma and embracing resilience is truly inspiring.
This blog post is a unique opportunity to connect with Kacie’s journey on a new level, as she reveals strategies and personal stories that have shaped her path to healing. Read on to learn these invaluable insights and be inspired by Kacie’s strength and openness.
Follow Kacie on Instagram and TikTok @kaciemargis to continue being inspired by her incredible story.
Kacie: I used to think self-care was bubble baths and drinking tea. Now, I realize that it goes far beyond the surface of little joys. I’m a recovering people-pleaser, so self-care to me is about establishing healthy boundaries with people. It’s knowing when to say no and putting yourself first when the situation calls for it. Self-care is also not being afraid to ask for what you need and forgiving yourself for the times you weren’t your best self.
Kacie: Most recently, I got into gardening. If you met me a year ago, I was one of those people who couldn’t keep a plant alive. But all of that changed this year when I was looking for something to make me feel like I have a purpose. Soon, my garden became like a child to me. I love the ritual of watering my plants, and watching everything bloom over time.
I feel my stress levels drop every time I look outside and see my garden. Just last night, I picked some bell peppers, tomato, and basil to make a spaghetti sauce with. I think having a hobby in which you are using your hands is super beneficial for mental wellbeing.
For anyone considering a new hobby—I say just go for it! Don’t worry about being good or bad at it. Remember that hobbies are for you to enjoy and it doesn’t matter how anyone else views the end result.
Kacie: Yes! I learned the 5-4-3-2-1 technique when I first sought out therapy for my PTSD and depression. This is an excellent grounding exercise to bring you into the present moment. Here's how it works:
1. Find a Comfortable Position. Sit or stand in a comfortable position. You can close your eyes if it helps you concentrate, but it's not necessary.
2. Take a Deep Breath. Begin by taking a slow, deep breath in through your nose, counting to four as you inhale.
3. Acknowledge Five Things You See. Open your eyes if they were closed and take a moment to notice five things you can see in your immediate environment. It could be anything from a piece of furniture to a plant.
4. Acknowledge Four Things You Feel. Pay attention to four things you can feel physically. This might be the texture of your clothing, the sensation of your feet on the ground, or the temperature of the air.
5. Acknowledge Three Things You Hear. Listen for three distinct sounds. It could be the hum of a distant conversation, the rustling of leaves, or the sound of your own breathing.
6. Acknowledge Two Things You Smell. If possible, identify two scents in your surroundings. It might be the scent of a room, food, or nature.
7. Acknowledge One Thing You Taste. If you have something to taste nearby, like a sip of water, a piece of fruit, or even the taste of toothpaste, take a moment to focus on that taste.
8. Take Another Deep Breath. After going through the 5-4-3-2-1 process, take another slow, deep breath out through your mouth, counting to four as you exhale.
Kacie: To those facing the darkness of trauma, remember that healing is a journey, and it's okay to feel lost along the way. You have the resilience to overcome, and your sense of purpose can be reignited. Remember that your voice and your story are your power. You should not feel shame because of what you have endured.
Oftentimes after a traumatic event, we lose the sense of who we are. Try to remember all of the things that used to bring you joy—can you incorporate some of those things into your new normal? It’s okay to be mad. Harness your anger and use it as fuel to push you to pursue all of the dreams you have. Your life has immense value, and there is hope to be found even in the darkest moments. Seek small joys, take one step at a time, and focus on self-compassion.

Listen to an audio transcription of this post
For millennia, silk has stood as a beacon of luxury and beauty, tracing back to ancient China where it was so valued it was used as currency and adorned only by the elite. Today, the allure of silk remains, accessible for its timeless beauty benefits and its luxurious feel.
Silk pillowcases, in particular, have risen in prominence for their myriad benefits—offering a simple yet profound enhancement to any beauty routine. These pillowcases are a boon for all hair types, promoting better hair by preventing breakage, reducing frizz, and keeping dry strands nourished.
Silk's gentle fabric doesn't absorb moisture like cotton, preserving your hair's natural oils and keeping your skin hydrated throughout the night. Its smooth surface reduces friction, preventing snags and tangles, and is kind to sensitive skin, helping to prevent acne and fine lines.
The amino acids in silk also cater to chemically treated and prone-to-breakage hair, fortifying hair cuticles for a stronger, smoother appearance. Moreover, for hot sleepers, silk's temperature-regulating properties ensure a comfortable rest all night long, making it an unparalleled choice in bedding.
As we explore the many benefits of silk pillowcases, a common inquiry arises: Is silk or satin better for maintaining the health of your hair and skin?
This question underscores the importance of choosing the right material for your sleep sanctuary, with silk standing out for its ability to blend a luxurious feel with practical benefits—like regulating temperature, blocking allergens, and retaining less moisture for a refreshed morning, every morning.
Video: Silk Pillowcase for Hair Benefits: Why You Need to Sleep on Silk
When deciding between sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase, you first need to know this:
Satin pillowcases may look shiny like silk, but make sure you check the fabric type—it is most likely made from synthetic materials, such as polyester, rayon, and nylon. These do not offer the same healthy hair benefits that silk pillowcases do.
Quick tip: Silk generates 43% less friction than cotton!
A satin pillowcase (and cotton pillowcase) absorbs oils, making your hair more dry and brittle than it has to be. Even though the fabric weave of satin feels smooth, if it’s not a silk pillowcase, then the pillow cover can still weaken brittle hair strands and create split ends.
And if you have sensitive skin, satin made from synthetic materials is not naturally hypoallergenic, and can exacerbate skin problems and allergies.
So what makes silk so miraculous for hair? Silk has natural properties that make it your hair's ideal place to rest for the night. Its tightly woven long fibers make it incredibly smooth, soft, and gentle. So it reduces friction on your hair, easing frizz. The same features of this fabric also help your hair retain moisture, so your hair stays moisturized and lustrous instead of brittle and dry. We love this benefit!
Silk, unlike cotton and other fabrics, contains sericin—a miraculous, natural protein fiber produced in silk that helps to nourish your hair naturally.
Silk is a natural material that has numerous skin and hair benefits:
When purchasing a real silk pillowcase and bedding, look for grade 6A mulberry silk—the highest quality silk available. Also, take into consideration the silk’s weight. Momme count measures the density of silk, with 22-momme being the ideal weight for a silk pillowcase for hair.
Amp up your beauty game by using a silk pillowcase that's better for your hair. Silk pillowcases reduce friction, stopping your hair strands from rubbing and breaking. Silk pillowcases can even reduce hair static and frizzy hair since they reduce friction between the hair fibers as you toss and turn at night.
Did you know?: Silk pillowcases are fantastic for all hair types, and they are especially helpful for textured hair.
Is silk or satin better for hair that's curly or textured?
If you have a curlier hair texture, you’ll need all the moisture you can get to keep your gorgeous natural hair healthy, radiant, and glossy. Only a real silk satin pillowcase will show your tresses the moisturizing love they deserve!
The more moisture your textured hair can retain, the more your natural shine will glow. Real silk will not absorb the natural oils in your hair. The less dry your hair, the more of your hair’s natural oils are present. So, say hello to luscious, frizz-free hair and bouncier curls!
Silk cannot completely reverse damage to your hair fiber caused by harsh chemicals and other treatments. But it can help improve hair health and help prevent future hair damage on new growth.
The power of silk: According to a study by The Korean Society for Biotechnology and Bioengineering, silk peptide treatment increases hair density and moisture, and recovers the hair cuticle.
If you're trying to access the best silk pillowcase for hair benefits, go with a Blissy Silk Pillowcase. Reduce friction on your hair and prevent breakage—all while you get eight hours of beauty sleep on Blissy's soft, grade 6A, 100% mulberry silk pillowcases.

]]>Allergens like dust mites and mold in pillows can cause nighttime allergy symptoms.
Envelope closure pillowcases allow allergens inside, so get one with a zipper.
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resists mold, mildew, and dust mites.
Blissy's mulberry silk pillowcases have a zipper and provide anti-aging and hair benefits.
Your soft, cozy pillows could be harboring thousands of allergens or even bugs like dust mites. To say goodbye to those nighttime allergies and improve your sleep health, you might just need a new pillow case! And, of utmost importance—a silk, hypoallergenic pillow case with a zipper.
When you’re sneezing, sniffling, tossing and turning all night, you’re not getting the quality beauty sleep that you need—and deserve!
What causes allergy issues while sleeping? There are several possibilities, but the problem is probably in your pillows.
Some of the most common allergens, like dust, dust mites, mold, mildew, and pollen, can become trapped in your pillow and pillow case, negatively affecting your health.
Dust mites (not to be confused with bed bugs) are common invisible pests that live in bedding, carpet, and furniture. These microscopic bugs won’t bite you, but they will feed on the abundant supply of dead skin cells you shed daily. Yum, right?
But, how do they cause allergies? Well, we’ll make this quick—when a dust mite goes number two, the fecal matter can trigger an allergic response. A colony of dust mites living rent-free, long-term on your pillow can even lead to asthma.
Mold spores are invisible and are again, unfortunately, quite common. They’re often in the air we breathe. Some types of mold produce a substance that can trigger an allergy response.
Mildew works in the same way, as it refers to specific types of mold. Hypoallergenic pillow cases can be a lifesaver if you suffer from mold and mildew allergies.
Other common allergens that can ruin your sleep at night and make your morning rough include:
If you currently don't own a hypoallergenic pillowcase, then you have no allergen protection from your pillow.
All that dirt and buildup is getting cozy in your pillow, pillowcase, and bedding. In the meanwhile, you're feeling itchy, sniffly, or wheezy. If this sounds like you, consider a hypoallergenic pillow case to protect your health
Cover those pillows with hypoallergenic pillowcases to get rid of troublesome allergy symptoms! Read on for some tips on how to pick out the perfect hypoallergenic pillowcase.
Using a pillow cover with an envelope closure is simply not enough if you have allergies. The pillow may be mostly covered by the pillowcase, but it will not help deter allergens.
With envelope closure pillowcases, all of the dust (and dust mites), dirt, sweat, and buildup throughout the week will find its way into the pillow itself.
Even worse—if this same inferior pillow protector is made from a synthetic material, such as polyester or nylon, these skin-clogging, allergy irritating particles will also be retained in the pillow cover itself. Gross!
Again, to stress the importance, one of the top ways to ensure your pillow doesn’t make you sneeze is to use a pillowcase with a zipper closure. Many pillowcases will be labeled as “hypoallergenic” and still use an envelope closure. The material itself may be hypoallergenic, but since the pillow is not actually protected from invading allergens, you’ll just be wasting your money.
Also make sure that the material of your pillow cover isn’t synthetic. Look for hypoallergenic pillowcases made from silk instead—silk is a naturally hypoallergenic material.
Switch to a silk pillow case, ensure it has a zipper, and you’re already on the way to nixing those allergens for good.
Did You Know: When buying a silk hypoallergenic pillow case, look for one made from 100% mulberry silk satin!
Blissy Silk Pillowcases are the best hypoallergenic pillowcases you can buy. These ultra-soft and luxurious pillow protectors are made from 100% grade 6A (the finest) mulberry silk, which is a naturally hypoallergenic material and bug resistant. Bye-bye Mr. Dust Mite!
Blissy Silk Pillowcases are good quality at an affordable price, given the many benefits of silk and its longevity. Plus, it’s a bonus that they’re luxuriously soft with a breathable design and are OEKO-TEX certified. So you know they're safe, non-toxic, and eco-friendly.
If you’re an allergy sufferer, switching to a silk hypoallergenic pillow case can dramatically improve your life and quality of sleep at night.
As mentioned, silk is hypoallergenic and bug resistant! If you’re curious how the natural fibers of silk can lessen the severity of your allergies, it’s mostly due to silk’s naturally-occurring protein, sericin.
Sericin is the primary protein that helps keep silkworms safe from other bugs while they’re in their cocoons. It will keep dust mites away from you too while you’re cocooned in bed.
Silk is also resistant to mold and mildew. Its strong, natural fibers won’t retain moisture—this is doubly beneficial, as silk won’t allow mold and mildew to grow but will allow your skin to stay soft, supple, and hydrated.
Did You Know: Harsh chemical treatments are not used to process Blissy silk. Blissy silk is certified safe, non-toxic, and eco-friendly.
Aside from being naturally hypoallergenic and mold/bug resistant, silk has many fantastic beauty benefits.
Silk has amazing benefits for your skin! Here are some of the various skincare benefits:
Did You Know: Switching to a silk hypoallergenic pillow case can help stop breakouts!
Sleeping on anti-frizz, super-soft silk hypoallergenic pillowcases reduces hair breakage and tangling. It also stops your hair from drying by locking in natural oils. This leads to shinier, softer, more glamorous hair!
Did You Know: You can continue to enjoy silk’s benefits all day by styling your hair with silk accessories.
Aside from helping you to sniffle less and sleep more, silk is also cooling (helps regulate body temperature), moisture-wicking, ultra-soft, and comfortable.
Easy Care Instructions
If you think you need to dry clean silk, you'd be mistaken. You can machine wash pillow covers from Blissy on the delicate setting. Just be sure not to use bleach and to iron on the silk setting if you need to get wrinkles out.
Additionally, use a luxury delicate detergent like Blissy Wash to further protect yourself from chemicals and allergens found in traditional laundry detergents.
Kick your allergies to the curb while pampering yourself with a silk hypoallergenic pillowcase. You deserve to relax, enjoy, and unwind—all while feeling luxurious and sniffle-free.

Silk pillowcases have beauty benefits for skin and hair unlike cotton.
High-quality mulberry silk prevents wrinkles and breakage while sleeping.
Silk helps regulate temperature for better sleep.
Caring for silk pillowcases properly allows them to last 10+ years.
Silk is a highly luxurious fabric with impressive beauty benefits for hair and skin. Silk bedding and other silk products have been highly sought after for thousands of years. In ancient China, silk was the go-to fabric for nobility and was even used as currency!
Now, this brilliant textile is no longer reserved for high society. It’s an accessible and affordable option that you can effortlessly integrate into your beauty routine.
Silk's smooth surface affords many benefits to hair, skin, and sleep quality. In this post, we'll focus on mulberry silk, one of the finest kinds of silk, and how sleeping on the best silk pillowcases can lead to fewer facial wrinkles and sleep creases, prevent breakage and split ends, and help hot sleepers get a better night’s sleep.
There are many different silk products available to benefit hair, skin, and sleep quality. These include silk pillowcases, silk hair scrunchies, silk sleep masks, and silk robes—just to name a few.
So, are silk pillowcases worth it? Let’s find out by learning some silk basics and what makes it so stellar.
When looking for a silk pillowcase, make sure that the material is 100% mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is one of the the best quality silks that you can purchase. It comes from the Bombyx mori silkworm, which feeds exclusively on leaves from the mulberry tree, giving the silk special properties.
Silk has a grading scale that gives you information about its quality. The grading scale for silk ranges from A-C (with A being the highest quality). There is also a number grade for each letter. For example: A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, and 6A.
Grade 6A silk, the most luxurious and purest available, ensures a durable and smooth experience in bedding, thanks to its decreased friction.
The higher the momme (the unit used to measure silk weight), the denser the silk will be. Blissy's 22-momme silk pillowcases are the best silk pillowcases you can find. They offer a luxurious experience while benefiting your skin and hair. With their dense weave, they compare to a 900 thread count in cotton fabric, making them a high-quality choice for anyone looking to reduce sleep wrinkles and retain moisture in their hair and skin.
Yes, if they are made from the highest quality silk. Otherwise, you may find irregularities, a less smooth texture, or fabric weaknesses in other silk pillowcases of a lower grade. Blissy only uses grade 6A, pure mulberry silk fabrics in their products.
Plus, Blissy silk pillowcases feature a hidden zipper closure which gives it an extra-sleek style, allowing both sides of the pillowcase to be used equally. Pillowcases with the more common envelope closure include a seam on one side of the pillowcase, which can cause sleep wrinkles.
Blissy pillowcases can be machine-washed in a mesh laundry bag for easy care, sparing you the high maintenance associated with other silk pillowcase options that you must hand wash or dry clean.
Silk pillowcases have many beauty benefits that might surprise you. And what’s even better is that you can receive all of them while you’re sleeping!
A Blissy silk pillowcase is:
A silk pillowcase will reduce friction on hair and skin and help prevent fine lines and wrinkles
from forming on facial skin. Silk doesn’t absorb skincare products either, unlike cotton. So expensive lotions, creams, and oils won’t be wasted.
Sleeping on a silk pillowcase keeps moisture in the skin and is ideal for those trying to rid themselves of acne, skin irritation, dryness, and other skin issues.
Silk pillowcases are hypoallergenic, which makes them a great choice for those with allergies, sensitive skin, or skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
Did You Know?: Silk repels dust mites and mold!
Blissy’s pure silk pillowcases have amazing benefits for both skin and hair. While all hair types benefit from a silk pillowcase, high-maintenance curly or natural hair especially loves a silk pillowcase. Chemically-treated hair too! Straight hair will also benefit greatly from sleeping on silk, as silk keeps more moisture in the hair, leading to smoother, frizz-free, healthier hair for all!
Benefits for hair include:
Did You Know: Silk naturally contains the protein sericin, which helps you say goodbye to frizzy hair.
Blissy silk is very soft with a smooth surface that exudes comfort. It also helps regulate body temperature
and has moisture-wicking properties that help you stay cool and dry all night long. Silky satin pillowcases are perfect for both side and stomach sleepers. But they're also great if you sleep on your back as they will prevent a hot sweaty neck!
If you currently have trouble sleeping at night, you know the unfortunate cost of sleep aids. It’s worth investing in a Blissy Silk Pillowcase to not only save money but to feel more comfortable—and get better hair and skin while you’re sleeping!
Silk is a delicate, ultra-soft material—but it’s also strong and durable. Taking care of a silk pillowcase may sound intimidating, but it’s not. Blissy’s silk pillowcases are machine washable!
Did You Know: If your silk pillowcase is properly cared for, it should last about 10 years. This equates to a cost of only about $6-$8 per year!
Here are some tips to care for your silk pillowcase while machine washing:

]]>Bedhead causes hair damage, split ends and slowed growth.
Sleeping with wet hair causes breakage and frizz.
Silk pillowcases and bonnets reduce the friction that causes bedhead and frizz.
Silk pillowcases keep hair hydrated by not absorbing natural oils like cotton does.
If you find that you're waking up with unruly tresses or every non-wash day seems like a bad hair day—you may just have a bad case of bed head.
In this blog post, we'll jump into a few different methods of how to fix bed head and keep your hair looking amazing—even on days you don't wash your hair.
Keep reading to learn what bed head is, why it's more than just an aesthetic problem, and how to take back control of your luscious locks.
Bedhead is caused by several things, but the main culprit is friction.
When your strands rub against a rough surface like cotton or linen as you sleep, they can become tangled and matted. This can lead to breakage, split ends, and frizz. Not only does this make your hair look janky, but it also impedes the growth of healthy hair.
But don't worry, there are things you can do before you go to bed to make sure you wake up with better hair every morning. Read on to learn these tips!
"I love blow-drying my hair!" Said no one ever.
If you've just blow-dried your hair or even styled it with a curling iron, no doubt you want to maintain that perfect hairstyle as long as possible! Especially if you've shelled out the additional cost of going to get a blowout at the salon.
If you have curly hair and you blow-dry your locks to make those curls straight or wavy, you're even more invested in maintaining that hairstyle because achieving it was not easy!
As you sleep, you move around on your pillow, which causes pull and strain on your hair. Unfortunately, going to sleep usually means we're going to say hello to messy hair, tangles, frizz, and dents in the morning. In other words: bedhead.
This can happen even if you've put your tresses up in a top knot or a bun on top of your head before going to sleep. That means spending a bunch of extra time each morning restyling your hair. Boo.
Silk is known for its ability to help prevent bedhead. It does this by providing a smooth surface for your to rest your tresses on each night. Wrapping your hair before bed in a silk bonnet or sleeping on a silk pillowcase means you're cutting way back on all the friction that causes all that frizz and tangle.
If you're looking for hair care products that battle frizz and bedhead, Blissy Silk Pillowcases and Blissy Bonnets are made from the finest 100% mulberry silk. Not only will they keep your locks looking gorgeous every morning, but they'll also help keep them healthy and hydrated.
Blissy sells 100% mulberry silk pillowcases, bonnets, and other silk hair accessories that fight bed head and nourish your hair. Let's take a deeper look into why Blissy's products are so good for your hair.
Blissy silk is much smoother than other fabrics, so it cuts down on friction caused by a cotton pillowcase and lets you live your best hair life.
A Blissy pillowcase is your best friend if you want to prevent bed head and wake up with a perfect coif every morning. See what real Blissy customers are saying about the Blissy pillowcase.
If you have wavy, thick, curly, or coarse hair (or just want an extra level of protection for your hair), Blissy Bonnets provide extra protection from bedhead. Brush and wrap hair before bed with this silk hair turban to protect it all night long. Unwrap in the morning, brush again, and it's like you didn't even sleep on your hair at all!
Blissy silk pillowcases also help keep your tresses hydrated and smooth by being less absorbent than cotton pillowcases, which strip away natural oils.
Blissy 100% mulberry silk pillowcases and bonnets are made from the finest quality silk. These pillowcases help you achieve better hair in the mornings and avoid bed head completely.
A Blissy pillowcase or bonnet can help all hair types, including long hair, short hair, straight hair, and curly hair. You'll wake up with hair that's just about as coifed as it was when you went to sleep. Get your mornings back and save time on styling.
Some people prefer to shower and wash their hair before bed or in the evening. A steamy rinse is the perfect way to relax after a long day.
But the hot noisy buzz of a blow dryer in your ears while you hold a brush at the most challenging angles is far from relaxing. So you may end up going to sleep with wet hair.
One way to avoid this is by using a shower cap and saving washing your hair for the daytime. That way you can air-dry hair or heat dry it when you're feeling more amped.
Going to bed with wet hair is not recommended for several reasons—not just because you wake up with wonky-looking tresses.
Moisture on the top of your head can give you a chill at night, causing you to be uncomfortable—especially if the air conditioner kicks on.
Another reason going to bed with wet hair is a bad idea is because your strands are weaker when they're wet. Your scalp and head make contact with your pillow and you move around as you sleep through the night. This will pull at your strands, causing breakage and damage to your hair.
If you're not ready to give up your going-to-bed-with-wet-hair habit just yet, then we recommend that you sleep on a silk pillowcase and/or wear a silk bonnet. That's the best way to prevent bed head caused by sleeping on wet hair.
Blot your strands with a microfiber towel or hair turban after you get out of the shower.
Wrap your hair in a cotton t-shirt for 10-20 minutes to remove extra moisture without causing frizz.
Never vigorously rub your hair with a towel, especially longer hair. This is a surefire way to cause frizz.
Comb but do not brush your still-damp hair. Brushing wet hair can lead to breakage since your strands are still weak.
Depending on your hair type, you may want to apply a leave-in conditioner or other leave-in product midway through your strands and comb through to the ends. Do not apply to your roots.
Braid your hair, then wrap the ends with a skinny silk scrunchie.
Sleep on a silk pillowcase to ensure a frizz-free experience. Avoid satin pillowcases, as these are not the same.
In the morning, unbraid your locks—your hair should be wavy and perhaps a little damp still.
Let your hair dry naturally or spray with styling products and hit it with the blow dryer to style your hair as desired!
If you want to know how to prevent bed head, using a Blissy 100% mulberry silk pillowcase or bonnet is the best way to go. Not only will these items help your locks look better, but your hair will also feel softer and smoother.

]]>Stomach sleepers may sometimes benefit from no pillow; back/side sleepers should always use one.
Pillows support spine alignment and reduce pain.
Silk pillowcases regulate temperature, further enhancing sleep quality.
High-quality Blissy silk pillowcases provide a better sleep experience.
Do you have trouble getting comfortable when you're trying to fall asleep? Or do you wake up without feeling refreshed and ready to go? One thing you should maybe wonder....is your pillow the problem? Should you try sleeping without a pillow?
Getting rid of your pillow might seem like an easy way to get more restful sleep if it's causing you grief. But is it better or "more natural" to sleep without a pillow? Before you try it, let's take a look at the pros and cons of sleeping without a pillow, according to experts.
What does science have to say about going to sleep without a pillow under your head? Why does having a pillow (or not) even matter? A lot of it has to do with your posture while you sleep.
The way your body lines up while you're sleeping can have a big impact on the quality of your sleep and how you feel when you wake up. Keep in mind that there aren't many studies specifically focusing on pillow vs. non-pillow use.
But studies have been done on the connection between sleeping position and sleep quality. Whether or not you use a pillow can affect your sleep posture and sleep quality. Let's go over what researchers and sleep experts have to say about this.
What kinds of benefits does sleeping without a pillow offer? Not many, if you sleep on your back or side like most people. The only time it may be beneficial to sleep without a pillow is if your sleep style is stomach sleeping.
People who tend to be stomach sleepers might find it more comfortable to ditch their pillows. Stomach sleeping without a pillow can be less awkward. And medical experts may even recommend full body pillows for this for better posture during sleep.
The University of Rochester Medical Center explains that stomach sleeping with a pillow can interfere with proper spinal alignment. Your head is propped up more with a pillow, while the rest of your spine is flat. This unnatural position can end up putting more strain on the back and neck.
Sleeping without a pillow while lying on your stomach helps your neck muscles keep your spine in its natural position. This may help ease neck pain and back pain, while also helping you get a restful night's sleep.
Not a stomach sleeper? Then it's important to know that sleeping without a pillow isn't recommended for back and side sleepers. People with these sleeping positions always benefit from using a pillow.
Pillow-free sleep can lead to more discomfort for side and back sleepers. Again, this has to do with your posture. A 2014 study found that maintaining proper spinal alignment with a pillow was linked to better sleep. This study explored the importance of the cervical curve, or the curve of your spine, during sleep.
Sleeping without a pillow in a back or side sleep position puts too much stress on your spine. Your head is flat against your bed in these two sleep positions, which interferes with the natural curve of your spine.
Whether you use a pillow or not can affect how comfortable you are while you sleep. Being uncomfortable can lead to tossing and turning, resulting in poor sleep. This, in turn, can have negative effects on your health and well-being.
Sleeping without a pillow, especially for the side sleeper and back sleeper, can increase the risk of neck and back pain. You might wake up with an achy neck or a sore back without a pillow.
Stomach sleepers should also be cautious about sleeping without a pillow altogether. Even though you might feel more comfortable, your spinal alignment isn't quite as natural as it could be. The Mayo Clinic recommends that stomach sleepers place a pillow under the lower abdomen and hips to help support the spine.
Now that we've explored the pros and cons of sleeping without a pillow, the choice is clear. Sleeping with a pillow is better, no matter what sleep position you tend to use. Even stomach sleepers benefit from using a pillow, even if it's not directly under their head. Your spine needs the right kind of support during sleep. And that's what a good pillow will provide.
A pillow helps take the strain off your back as you sleep. The Mayo Clinic recommends using a pillow to help ease back pain, while also sleeping on your back or side rather than your stomach. Pillows help your spine stay in a neutral position for more natural alignment.
What about neck pain? A pillow helps support the upper part of your spine during sleep. Without one, you might find yourself waking up with a sore neck. Harvard Medical School recommends sleeping on your back or side with a pillow to help reduce neck pain.
Just make sure that you use the right kind of pillow for neck and spine support. A very thin pillow might not be enough. Alternatively, a pillow that's too thick or firm may not be the right pillow for you either. The Cleveland Clinic recommends using a pillow that's thick enough to support your neck and head.
Sleeping with a pillow can help improve sleep quality compared to sleeping without a pillow. This goes for stomach sleepers, back sleepers, and side sleepers.
Ideally, sleeping on your side with a pillow works best. A 2022 study found that sleeping on your right side is linked to better sleep. But even if you sleep in another position, using a pillow can help you get better sleep overall.
Quality sleep means feeling your best. You'll wake up feeling refreshed instead of waking up achy and tired.
Just as the kind of pillow you have matters, so does the kind of pillowcase you use. The right pillowcase can help boost sleep quality even more. That's what you'll get with high-quality Blissy Silk Pillowcases.
These pillowcases are made of 100% mulberry silk, a natural material that's soft, smooth, and luxurious. Other pillowcases, like cotton pillowcases, don't offer the kind of comfort you need for your most restful night's sleep.
Combining a supportive pillow with a silk pillowcase from Blissy helps elevate your sleep experience. This sleep setup helps you maintain proper spinal alignment while enjoying blissful slumber. The result is improved sleep quality and a lower risk of neck and back pain.
What makes Blissy Silk Pillowcases such a good buy for your bedroom? These pillowcases offer notable benefits that boost sleep quality, including all of the following.
Did you know that silk helps regulate your body temperature? Why is this important? Being too hot or too cold can make it hard for you to get the sleep you need. You might toss and turn, trying to get cooler or warmer.
Silk helps your body temperature stay right where it needs to be for better sleep. Instead of trying to get comfortable, you can count on getting a great night's sleep.
Don't take our word for it. Our customer Jeanette loves her Blissy Silk Pillowcase for helping her "wake up in the morning feeling refreshed from having a great night's sleep."
Silk has hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies. If you struggle with skin rashes, itching, or other skin problems with other pillowcase materials, give silk a try.
If you're allergic to dust or other allergens, a silk pillowcase won't bug you. Silk doesn't trap all kinds of allergens as cotton and other materials do. That helps you avoid spending the night sneezing and sniffling. Instead, you can sleep peacefully.
Tired of sweating while sleeping? Cotton pillowcases and similar materials are often the culprit. With a silk pillowcase, you can stay sweat-free.
Silk has a cooling effect that helps you feel comfortable, setting you up for a good night's sleep. This effect helps prevent you from wasting precious time trying to get comfortable instead of getting the sleep you need.
Blissy customer Barbara S. appreciates this natural cooling effect. She recommends it for menopausal women. As Barbara says, "It truly stays cool and my sleep is much improved."
So, now that you know how important your pillow is for your sleep, make it even better with a Blissy Silk Pillowcase. Choose from a wide range of colors and styles to spruce up your bedding.
Browse our whole collection of silk pillowcases to find the design you want and the size you need. Make Blissy pillowcases part of a healthy sleep routine, and you'll enjoy better sleep in no time!

Wash silk bonnets every 1-2 weeks with a gentle detergent for longevity.
Always air dry silk bonnets after washing to prevent heat damage.
Store silk bonnets in a cool, dry place not in direct sunlight.
Handle silk bonnets gently to avoid rips, tugs or snags.
Wearing a silk bonnet nightly is a great way to help your hair stay healthy and shiny. But these bonnets need proper care to maintain their quality. What kind of care does a silk bonnet need?
Silk is a durable yet delicate fabric. Using the right silk care products, such as Blissy Wash, helps ensure that your silk bonnets remain in excellent shape. We'll walk you through how to care for your silk bonnet. But first, let's explore silk in more detail.
Silk is a natural material that comes from silkworms. Its lightweight feel can be a bit deceiving, since this fabric is not flimsy but highly durable. Silk bonnets won't wear out or become damaged easily when you take good care of them.
Despite its durability, silk needs to be handled and cared for the right way. Using the wrong detergent or washing on a cycle that's too rough, for example, can shorten the lifespan of silk bonnets and other silk products.
So, how should you wash your silk bonnet? What's the best way to dry it? How do silk bonnets need to be stored? The following advice can help you take great care of these silk products, so they last a long, long time.
You can machine wash or hand wash silk bonnets. Ideally, plan on washing yours about every 1 to 2 weeks. Whichever way you prefer, use the following instructions as a guide to care for your silk bonnets.
Now, what about drying silk bonnets? Is there a right way to do so? Avoid putting your silk bonnet in the dryer. While this might be a quick and convenient way to dry silk, it's not recommended.
To keep your silk bonnet in outstanding condition, let it air dry. Whether you hand wash or machine wash, lay your bonnet flat on a dry, clean towel. You can roll the towel up with the bonnet inside to let it soak up more moisture. This helps it air dry faster.
Unroll the towel, then hang up your silk bonnet or lay it on a drying rack to dry. Letting it air dry helps protect it from damage that a dryer might do due to heat exposure.
Where should you keep your silk bonnet? The best way to store it is to place it in a cool, dry spot that's not in direct sunlight. Exposure to the sun's rays may cause your bonnet's colors to fade.
Place it in a drawer or a closet shelf to keep it in good shape. Make sure it's not lying against any rough surfaces that can cause it to snag or rip.
When putting your silk bonnet on or taking it off, always handle it gently. Avoid tugging or pulling on it, since this could damage the fabric.
Silk bonnets can get crushed inside your washing machine, especially if you're doing a big load of laundry. Protect your silk bonnet with a mesh bag, such as the Blissy Mesh Laundry Bag. Simply place the bonnet in the mesh bag to keep it safe while being washed.
When you're looking for materials for healthier hair, always go with high-quality silk products. These items will last longer than other types, like satin.
Mulberry silk is the perfect silk fabric to get when you want the best results for your hair. This natural material is gentle on your hair, while reducing frizz, improving shine, and increasing moisture.
Wrapping your hair in a high-quality silk bonnet, like Blissy Silk Bonnets, can help you achieve lustrous, healthy hair.
Now that you know how to properly care for your silk bonnets, it's time to make sure you have high-quality silk care products. With the right products, you can look forward to using your bonnets night after night to help your hair look and feel its best.
For washing silk bonnets, consider Blissy Wash. This gentle detergent is ideal for getting silk items clean. To protect your silk bonnets in the wash, check out Blissy Mesh Laundry Bags. These bags are designed to keep silk items safe while being washed. Also, try pairing your silk bonnet with a signature silk Blissy pillowcase for best results!

It's about honoring the unique story you've written together, a narrative as exquisite and enduring as the finest silk.

It’s not an exaggeration to say you’ll pay about the same price for an overnight stay at a luxury hotel as you will for a set of most silk pillowcases. The difference is, most luxury hotels don’t provide their guests with a real silk pillowcase. Sure, you’ll get a bright white cotton pillowcase on your bed, but where's the luxury in that?
Luxury, it seems, isn’t a necessity even in the luxury market.
So, why do it, then? Why splurge on a 100% pure mulberry silk pillowcase when luxury hotels won’t?
Because in a world where an "everything-is-disposable" attitude is damaging our environment and health, a high quality silk pillowcase is a luxury that is becoming a necessity.
But if you're going to make an investment in a silk pillowcase that will last you 10 years, what are the criteria you need to look for? Let's dive in.
In our culture, the words “beauty sleep” conjure up visions of Sleeping Beauty just waiting for Prince Charming to kiss away the evil spell and wake Beauty from her slumber.
And in true fairy tale fashion, when Beauty wakes up, she’s truly a beauty. No frizzy hair. If she has sensitive skin or skin creases, you wouldn’t know it. She’s flawless, despite having slept for a century or so. Goes to show you what a long spell of good beauty sleep can do!
So imagine pairing a charmeuse weave silk pillowcase with an amazing night's sleep. Just what does that do for your hair and skin? To put it simply, you'll wake up with hair smoother and skin glowing. Let's take a look at the effects of a silk weave pillowcase on hair and skin.
Fairy tale fantasy aside, here’s the reality.
According to London dermatologist Dr. Ophelia Veraitch in an interview with Stylist, sleep, or more specifically, tossing and turning while you sleep, causes pulling and friction on your hair, leading to a case of frizzy hair.
Dr. Veraitch cites evidence that supports the idea that sleeping on a silk pillowcase for hair can protect your locks while you sleep.
Benefits of a silk pillowcase for hair:
Shinier, frizz-free hair
Hydrated, gorgeous locks
Less breakage and healthier growth
Go more days between washes
What sets pure mulberry silk apart from silk blends and other materials, including synthetic satin pillowcases, cotton pillowcases, and bamboo, is that mulberry silk is considered the highest quality material available.
The threads are much smoother and stronger than other types of silk, which means less friction and pulling on your hair and skin. Mulberry silk is made by the Bombyx mori silkworm that feeds on mulberry tree leaves. They are known to spin the strongest, purest silk in the world.
Here’s the other reality. The same friction that’s bad for your hair is also bad for your skin.
However, as an NBCNews.com article points out, one acne-prone user who tried a luxuriously soft Blissy silk pillowcase saw changes to her skin quality in about a week. She experienced less puffiness, redness, and irritation once she started sleeping on a high-quality silk pillowcase.
Other pillowcases, made from cotton, polyester satin, or synthetic materials, don't have the same benefits for skin as pure silk fabrics. Cotton is highly absorbent, which means it not only sucks moisture from your skin but can also hold onto moisture. Cotton effectively creates an environment for bacteria to breed (hello, acne).
Benefits of silk pillowcases for skin:
Clearer skin
Smoother skin texture
Hydrated, glowing skin
No waking up with skin creases
Reduces appearance of new fine lines
Learn about the benefits of silk pillowcases for hair, skin, and sleep here.
But all of this isn't just about beauty and looking younger.
It's about the cost to you and the environment.
Here’s something to consider. The average cost of acne treatments runs about $60 a month for creams and tinctures and up to $200 a month for oral antibiotics and more specialized treatment. And at nearly $70 a pop, some anti-frizz hair treatments cost just as much per month as acne treatments do.
Let's not even talk about the environmental cost of having all those products go down the drain when you rinse them off your hair and skin.
A one-time splurge of $75 for a high-quality silk pillowcase (for queen-size pillows) costs you and the environment far less by comparison. (Read why Blissy is a better choice than more inexpensive silk pillowcase brands.)
To ensure that you get the most eco-friendly silk pillowcase for this purpose, read through product descriptions carefully to make sure you’re getting a pillowcase that is made of 100% mulberry silk.
Here's a hint: Start with a real silk pillowcase that has OEKO-TEX certification.
Now that's true beauty sleep!
Buying a mulberry silk pillowcase involves looking for the best grade, which indicates the highest quality. Silk grades can range from A to C. To get the best quality silk pillowcase, look for Grade A mulberry silk. This silk grade features silk fibers that are smooth, but durable enough to be unwound without any breakage.
Blissy Silk Pillowcases are Grade 6A mulberry silk that has been OEKO-TEX certified. That means they don't use any harsh chemicals or dyes in their manufacturing process and are safe enough even for your toddler's skin.
Grade isn’t the only factor to look for when you’re choosing pure silk cases. Look for the right number as well to make sure you’re getting high quality. Grade A silk ranges from A through 6A. Blissy grade 6a silk pillowcases offer the finest quality on the market.
This high-quality, natural silk pillowcase is naturally hypoallergenic
and protects skin from dryness and other damage while also protecting your hair from frizziness and hair breakage.
One thing to note is that a product marketed as a "satin pillowcase" is not silk (where the word silk does not appear). So do avoid these products as they are not near the same quality. "Silk satin pillowcase" is okay to buy—but do check that it is made from grade 6A 100% pure mulberry silk.
As you look for a mulberry silk pillowcase, pay close attention to the momme weight. Momme is a Japanese unit of measurement that is sort of like thread count for cotton and is another indicator of silk quality.
Momme weight indicates the weight and density of silk used for pillowcases and other silk products. But which momme weight is best for your new silk pillowcases?
Ideally, you should look for 22-momme silk for pillowcases. You’ll find momme weights ranging from 11 through 30 (or even up to 40 in some cases), but 22-momme makes for the best silk pillowcases.
Pillowcases with a 19-momme weight can still feel extremely soft, but they’re considered a lower silk quality and won't convey as strong of benefits or last you as long over time. If you want a pillowcase that's super soft but also durable, 22-momme pillowcases are the way to go.
A durable silk pillowcase means a silk pillowcase that lasts a long time. It's one you won't be throwing out for a while, which cuts down on the environmental and personal costs of your home products in the long run.
The best silk pillowcases will contain 22-momme silk. While a natural silk pillowcase with 25-momme weight or 30-momme weight might seem to indicate better quality than 22-momme, this isn’t the case. Silk in these momme weights tends to be heavier, so it isn’t as soft when used for pillowcases. Silk with higher momme weights tends to work better for other silk products, such as curtains or robes.
It’s easy to overlook this factor when choosing a silk pillowcase, but it’s an important one.
The kind of enclosure your silk pillowcase has can affect how comfortable it ends up being when you sleep on it. It will also affect how dirty your pillow will get, and therefore, how long your pillow will last. Not to mention it affects the look and style.
Silk pillowcases are generally available in two types of enclosures. An enclosure refers to how the pillowcase encases the pillowcase to stay in place. They usually come in a zipper enclosure or an envelope enclosure.
Keep in mind that silk is a slippery material due to its softness and smoothness. Using an envelope-closure silk pillowcase might not be the best solution. Envelope pillowcases leave your pillowcase open to the elements—including allergens. Pillows are like allergen and dust mite magnets, so it's best to keep them fully encased to protect them.
Furthermore, envelope closures do not lay flat the same way a zipper enclosure does. One side will have a seam while only one side will be flat. Laying on seams can lead to sleep wrinkles, so this is to be avoided.
Being able to flip your pillow and lay on both sides of the pillowcase can help you extend time between launderings—helping you be more eco-friendly and saving you time. Enter the zipper closure.
To make sure your luxurious mulberry silk pillowcase stays on your pillow throughout the night and looks sleek, look for one with a hidden zipper closure.
This type of closure provides a secure way to keep your pillowcase on at all times as long as it's fully zipped. Since the zipper is hidden, you won’t have to worry about it being visible on your pure mulberry silk pillowcases.
Zipper cases protect your pillow from wear and tear. They also allow you to use both sides of your pillowcase equally so that one side doesn't become threadbare. This extends the life of both your pillow and your pillowcase. The best affordable silk pillowcase is the one that lasts for years.
Many people associate silk fabric with dry cleaning. According to The Spruce, there are only a few dry cleaning methods that are safe for the environment. Many dry cleaners don't use those eco-friendly methods and the ones that do charge and arm and a leg.
Fortunately, nowadays, buying the best-quality silk doesn’t mean you’ll need to hand wash it or dry clean it. Look for a machine-washable silk pillowcase since it doesn't require as much maintenance.
Luckily, a Blissy double-sided silk pillowcase is 100% machine washable. Check out our guide, Tips for Keeping Your Blissy Sleep Essentials Looking Their Best to learn how to get the most out of your Blisy silk pillowcases.
Hand washing other silk pillowcases can take considerable time and effort. When you buy real silk pillowcases that can be machine washed, this provides greater convenience. Just make sure you read through the washing instructions for your new pillowcases to avoid damaging them.
Machine wash your Blissy washable silk pillowcase with cold water. Place the pillowcase in a mesh bag or lingerie bag on your washer's delicate cycle or gentle cycle to protect the pillowcase.
Air drying is recommended for best results for machine-washed pillowcases. This is more environmentally friendly and keeps the satin finish gleaming for many years. It also keeps the beauty benefits of your silk pillowcase working for a long time to come.
However, if you must tumble dry your silk pillowcase, please read our guide for tumble drying.
To get even more out of your pillowcases for years to come, look for a special silk detergent to wash your real silk pillowcase in. This type of detergent will get your 100% mulberry silk pillowcases clean without causing any damage. The pH in silk detergents is neutral.
You can place your pillowcases in a mesh bag or laundry bag to keep them safe, then put them in the washing machine. Your pillowcases can then be air-dried or placed in the dryer at the lowest heat setting for up to 20 minutes.

One of the most important factors to think about when you buy a mulberry silk pillowcase is the size. Measure your pillow if you don’t already know the size so you can be sure to choose the right silk pillowcase. You should be able to find the pillowcase dimensions in the product description.
Your pure silk pillowcases should be the same size as your pillows or slightly larger. Depending on your pillow size, you might need to buy standard, queen size, or king size pillowcases. If you’re buying pillowcases for kids, look for ones in a youth or toddler size.
Having the right size pillowcases helps ensure a secure fit over your pillows, which reduces wear and tear. Pillowcases that are too small won’t fit at all, while pillowcases that are much larger will be too loose and will look rumpled.
You want a pillowcase that allows the silk to slightly stretch and show off its beautiful sheen.
Plus, buying the correct size means your pillow and pillowcase, as well as your skin and hair, don't get as beat up over time. A silk pillowcase for the hair, skin, and environment fits snuggly on your pillow.
Mulberry silk pillowcases are available in tons of colors and designs.
At Blissy, we carry the widest color and pattern selection available for high-quality mulberry silk pillowcases.
Blissy has more than 50 colors and patterns to choose from, with new colors and prints constantly being released.
And what does the color of your silk pillowcase have to do with beauty and the environment? A color you love is a color you keep.
When it comes to your silk pillowcase options, buying a real silk pillowcase in colors you love means you're less likely to toss the pillowcase out because you're tired of it.
From White, Taupe, and other neutral colors to bold Leopard and Ombre patterns (and just about everything in between), you can choose real silk pillowcases that not only go with your bedroom décor, but also encourage you to keep them for years to come.
Truly a win for you, your home, and for the environment.
Choosing the best overall silk pillowcase that's durable, eco-friendly, and easy to care for can be a challenge. So it helps to have a reliable place to purchase it from.
At Blissy, we carry the highest quality 6A 22-momme 100% mulberry silk pillowcases that are perfect for your home, your beauty routine, and the environment. Choose from a wide range of sizes, colors, and designs, including neutral colors, vivid hues, jewel tones, and novelty prints.
All of our silk bedding is machine washable for your convenience. They are also OEKO-TEX certified, so you know you're getting a product that's safe, non-toxic, and eco-friendly.

]]>Tired of conventional New Year's resolutions? If overcrowded gyms and detox cleanses aren't calling your name, choose beauty resolutions instead.
Beauty resolutions are a way to focus on self-care and confidence-building in 2024.
And yes, self-care includes your beauty routine! How you care for your appearance can greatly impact how good you feel—both physically and mentally.
Enhancing hair and skin health are 2 of the top ways to focus on self-care.
Whether your beauty resolution is to have softer hair or clearer skin, you'll be prioritizing yourself—which is wonderful.
Struggling to get in the right mindset?:
A "New Year New Me" mentality will help you focus on caring for yourself.
You are important, and you are worthy.
Ready to begin your self-care journey? The following tips and Blissy products are integral to making 2024 a transformative year for both your beauty and well-being.
If you want to fulfill your beauty resolutions, you must get exceptional beauty rest on a regular basis.
Getting quality sleep is vital to your well-being and your skin and hair health.
The average adult needs at least 7 hours of sound sleep each night. And women require even more sleep per night than men—about 11 minutes additional.
Poor sleep can lead to sleep deprivation. This can negatively impact numerous body systems, such as your heart and circulatory, nervous, and immune systems. You might feel fatigued, moody, and have trouble concentrating when you're sleep-deprived.
Aside from how you'll feel, consistently poor sleep will also make a visual difference in your hair and skin.
A study by the British Association of Dermatologists concluded that chronic bad sleep is associated with:
increased signs of aging, reduced skin barrier function, and lower satisfaction with appearance
Even just 1 night of poor sleep can lead to dark circles, red or swollen eyes, drooping features, paler skin, and wrinkles around the mouth.
As for hair—inadequate sleep stresses the body, leading to increased cortisol production. This in turn creates more sebaceous oil on the scalp, resulting in greasy hair.
Excessive stress from a lack of sleep can even lead to hair loss
We've gone over how poor sleep is a detriment to your well-being and your beauty resolutions.
Here are a few ways how quality sleep will help:
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles (better sleep = improved skin elasticity)
Improved complexion
Stronger, healthier hair
There's a reason it's called "beauty sleep". So, practice self-care and catch some z's!
Embrace the "New Year New Me" mentality with us!
Sleeping on a Blissy Pillowcase is a proven way to improve sleep and achieve your beauty resolution.
Our elegant pillowcases are crafted from the highest quality mulberry silk. They are ultra-soft and comfortable, which promotes a soothing sleep environment.
Blissy Pillowcases naturally help regulate temperature, as silk is moisture-wicking and cooling.
Hot sleepers—you'll no longer wake up sweaty in the middle of the night:
Fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer when you sleep on silk!
Our silk pillowcases will also help better your skin and hair health.
When you sleep on a Blissy Pillowcase, your hair will be glossier and shinier than ever. Our silk is nearly friction-free, leading to less frizz, fewer tangles, and less breakage.
Blissy Pillowcases are hypoallergenic and hydrating. They're an ideal choice for those with dry hair or dry skin, sensitive skin, acne, and other skin conditions.
If nighttime and early-morning allergies are impacting your sleep, our pillowcases can help! In addition to being hypoallergenic, they also repel bugs (like dust mites) and bacteria.
There is quite a difference between silk and satin pillowcases.
Although they're marketed similarly, satin pillowcases are not the same:
The term "satin" actually only refers to the fabric weave, while "silk" refers to the fabric material.
Silk pillowcases are more durable and have superior beauty and wellness benefits.
Satin pillowcases are often made from materials subpar to silk. This includes plastic-based fabrics that are not eco-friendly or free from harmful substances.
Satin pillowcases are cheaper, but the associated negative qualities aren't worth "the savings."
Invest in your self-care and well-being with an OEKO-TEX Certified, pure mulberry silk Blissy Pillowcase.
Sleep will help you achieve your beauty resolutions!
So, here are a few more tips to help you get better sleep in 2024:
Turn off electronics at least 1 hour before bedtime. Blue light from phones, TVs, and other devices can make it harder to fall asleep.
Wind down each night before bed. Have a warm cup of tea, take a bath, or cuddle up with a good book.
Stick to a regular sleep schedule.
Create a calming sleep environment. Keep your bedroom cool, quiet, and dark.
Another way to help reduce stress, which leads to better sleep:
Practice self-love
Working on your beauty resolutions can help promote self-love and self-confidence. Another way is to express yourself!
For example, try out a new and creative manicure design. Celebrity nail artist Alicia Torello offers great inspo for all things nails. Her minimalist yet elegant artwork is perfect for recreating at home or the salon.
Next up on your "New Year New Me" beauty resolutions—let's talk hair!
If this is your beauty resolution, then you've come to the right place.
These common hair problems share many causes:
Stress. Dryness. Non-silk hair ties. Rough bedding and accessories. Over-brushing. Over-processing. Tight styles. Towel-drying hair. And, heat styling.
Ready to achieve amazing hair this year?
Here's what you can do:
Sleep on a Blissy Pillowcase
Apply a serum or spray before styling with hot tools
Moisturize your hair. Invest in a high-quality hair mask and leave-in conditioners. Hydration is key!
Wash hair less frequently to avoid stripping your hair of its natural oils. Once or twice a week is ideal.
Get regular trims
Consume proper nutrients in your diet, including protein, biotin, and iron
Blissy's haircare products are key to achieving the best results with your hair.
Our pillowcases are known for their gentle, nourishing properties. They're tried-and-true hair accessories with thousands of 5-star reviews.

Now that we've addressed hair, let's talk about your "New Year New Me" skin care routine!
We'll discuss how to combat common skin concerns, like acne, dryness, and aging.
Acne can be caused by hormones, excess sebum (an oily substance), dead skin cells, or even your diet.
To diminish acne and maintain a more even skin tone, stick to the following 7 dermatologist-recommended steps:
Looking for a way to conceal acne while pursuing your beauty resolution? Celebrity makeup artist Mickey Contractor has fantastic advice!
"Make sure to clean your makeup brushes often! Once per week is ideal. The cleaner the better to avoid breakouts."
Wrinkles are a natural part of aging—but there are easy ways to combat them.
Follow these tips to postpone the appearance of fine lines and reduce their severity:
Apply SPF daily and limit sun exposure
Avoid products with harsh ingredients, such as fragrances. Instead, opt for moisturizers with ceramides and AHAs.
Get quality rest. Sleep on an anti-aging Blissy Pillowcase to get great sleep while helping smooth skin.
Avoid sugar and refined carbs, which promote an inflammatory response
Eat healthy fats, such as those from nuts, avocado, and olive oil
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated
Dryness is not just irritating to the skin. It can also lead to redness, scaling, flaking, and increased wrinkles.
To keep dry skin at bay, wash your face daily with a gentle soap. Avoid any skincare products with fragrances.
Acne-fighting ingredients are also known to dry out skin, so try to only use them in moderation.
Make sure to incorporate a daily lotion and SPF in your skincare routine. Look for one that contains hydrating ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and squalane.
Is your body dry, too? Shea butter is excellent to use on extra dry parts of the body, such as elbows and knees. You can even treat chapped lips!
2024 is your year for glowing, smooth skin!

Silk hair ties reduce holiday hair damage and frizz.
Curl and pin hair, then accessorize with glam silk pieces.
Scrunchies and skinny ties in versatile hues complement any look.
Silk hair accessories work for both festive and year-round styling.
As the holiday festivities ramp up, it's vital to pause and pamper ourselves. A chic hair tie or a festive hair embellishment can uplift our spirits instantly. Looking great boosts our confidence, and Blissy's exquisite 100% mulberry silk hair accessories are just what you need for that perfect hairstyle.
In the chill of the holiday season, our hair faces more challenges, from dry indoor heating that saps moisture to static that causes frizz, particularly in curly, brittle, or coarse hair textures.
Whether you're styling a sleek ponytail, a french twist, or embracing your natural hair with goddess braids, remember to nourish your locks. For straight hair, use a hydrating hair oil and gently brush with a boar bristle brush to reduce static and maintain the natural shine of your hair.
If you have curly, wavy, or coily hair, wearing a silk bonnet, such as one from Blissy, at night can protect your locks and extend the life of your hairstyle, keeping it fresh and styled for longer.
For those holiday parties, whether you opt for a high ponytail, a half-up style, or loose curls, ensure your hair remains healthy and vibrant throughout the season.
To achieve stunning holiday hairstyles, it's essential to choose accessories that not only enhance your look but also protect your hair. Traditional elastics and clips can cause friction damage, leading to breakage and flyaways, especially in natural hair, textured hair, or those with a classic style.
For a timeless holiday look, opt for gentle hair ties, like silk skinny scrunchies, and professional-grade bobby pins that maintain the natural texture of your straight or wavy hair without causing damage.
If you're on your way to a holiday party, make your look sparkle with high-end silk accessories that nurture your hair's health. Whether you're styling a sleek bun, a high ponytail, or a half-up, half-down hairstyle, using the right accessories can transform your look into a festive, chic masterpiece, perfect for any Christmas party or holiday gathering.
To take your festive look to the next level, explore our curated list of the Top 7 Must-Have Hair Accessories to Perfect Your Holiday Hairstyle.
Elevate your holiday hairstyles with the Blissy Silk Head Piece in Silver, a chic and timeless accessory that effortlessly complements any festive look. For an enchanting hairstyle to pair with this elegant headband, consider creating loose waves using a one-inch curling iron.
This technique adds volume and a soft, romantic touch to long hair or shoulder-length cuts, perfect for a Christmas party or any holiday gathering.
Alternatively, for those with straight texture hair, braid damp hair and let it dry overnight, then gently finger comb in the morning for natural-looking, beachy waves. A few spritzes of hair spray can help maintain the curls gently in the same direction, ensuring your hairstyle stays flawless throughout your celebrations.
The Blissy Silk Head Piece, with its unique twist at the top, adds a plush accent to versatile hairstyles, whether you're going for a sleek bun or chignon, or letting your curls cascade freely. This accessory not only enhances your holiday outfit but also keeps hair in place, making it a great hairstyle choice for any festive occasion.
Want to know another secret? This headband can be worn to hide dirty hair. Real talk: during the hectic holiday season, you don't always have time for a full hair wash cycle between traveling and activities. This glamorous knotted headband literally has you (and your hair) covered!
The Blissy Silk Scrunchie in Taupe is a perfect blend of style and function, adding a touch of elegance to your holiday hairstyles. Its glistening silk fabric in chic neutral tones like taupe and khaki makes it a versatile choice, seamlessly complementing any holiday look.
Whether you're styling your straight hair into a low bun for a timeless look, or creating a playful half-up, half-down style with your naturally curly hair or beach waves, this scrunchie adds a polished finish without compromising hair health.
Ideal for long hair or those with just a few strands needing to be kept in place, the Blissy Silk Scrunchie ensures your hair remains secure with minimal tension, thanks to its gentle elastic band. It's particularly beneficial for those looking to avoid breakage and maintain hair oil balance.
For a festive twist, pair it with pearl hair clips to create a party pony for a more formal Christmas party look. Whether used to tie up a sleek bubble ponytail or to add a plush accent to a messy bun, this scrunchie is a Nordstrom favorite and a go-to recommendation of celebrity hairstylists.
The Blissy Silk Hair Ribbon in Rose Gold is a shimmering and versatile addition to your holiday hair accessory collection. Its unique rose gold silk fabric adds a luxurious touch to any holiday hairstyle, making it perfect for Christmas, Hanukkah, or New Year's Eve celebrations.
This ribbon can beautifully tie off the end of a braid, adding elegance to a classic style like a French braid with the ends left loose, or it can be used to secure a low ponytail, providing a touch of glamour to a simple, timeless look.
Its silky texture is gentle on hair, reducing friction and helping to maintain hair health, whether you're styling long hair or managing baby hairs with a few bobby pins. The Blissy ribbon can be creatively styled as a headband with a middle part, adding volume and framing the face with elegance.
For a more sophisticated evening look, consider using it to embellish a sleek, slicked-back bun.
Celebrity hairstylists often recommend silk accessories like this for their ability to accent any hairstyle without causing damage to dry hair.

]]>Silk bonnets reduce frizz and enhance shine for curly hair.
Blissy silk bonnets are made of high-quality mulberry silk for moisture retention.
Silk is better than satin for curly hair due to less friction and more hydration.
Use a silk bonnet along with silk pillowcases for optimal curly hair care.
Curls and waves take effort to maintain. From your washing schedule to your styling routine, it can be challenging to get the frizz-free shine of your dreams.
If you're meticulously following your routine yet still struggling to manage your curls, the issue might lie with your bonnet.
Using a bonnet made from satin or other synthetic materials could hinder your curls from reaching their full potential.
Simply wear a silk sleep bonnet for curly hair at bedtime, and wake up each morning to frizz-free, soft, and shiny curls!
The silk bonnet that curly hair loves is Blissy's. Keep reading to learn how our fine silk bonnet will help you start loving your curls.
Are you a fan of all things beauty? If so, you're probably familiar with silk's benefits for hair and skin care.
Numerous reasons make silk the superior fabric for hair health.
Silk bonnets:
Help hair stay hydrated
Reduce breakage, frizz, and split ends
Enhance shine
Lessen tangling
Allow expensive hair products to fully absorb
Additionally, silk is naturally hypoallergenic, cooling, and moisture-wicking. It's also extremely soft and comfortable.
These qualities will help you get the beauty rest you deserve all while maintaining your hair!
Whether you have short or long hair, a silk sleep bonnet for curly hair is bound to dramatically enhance your curls and quality of sleep.
Silk bonnets have been popular for hundreds of years, and there's a good reason for their enduring appeal.
Women have been wearing hair bonnets for centuries. Their popularity surged in the early 1800s, and by the 1830s, the hair bonnet, or 'capote,' had become a premier fashion accessory. Silk, known for its style, quality, and elegance, was a favored material in their crafting.
Bonnets and headwraps have also been important elements of traditional attire worn in African regions, such as Namibia and Ghana. They served not only to protect hair but also as symbols of status, wealth, and more.
By the early 1900s, silk bonnets, primarily used for sleep and hair protection, had gained popularity. They were considered 'vogue' accessories, known for protecting hairstyles and creating glossy, enviable hair.
Today, silk hair bonnets are a prevalent staple in both beauty and wellness routines, with Blissy leading the market with its top-quality silk bonnets.
Concerned about the environmental impact of your silk sleep bonnet for curly hair?
Blissy's mulberry silk is not only luxurious but also sustainable.
Crafted from natural silk fiber, Blissy Bonnets are both strong yet biodegradable. With silk, you won't sacrifice luxury or the planet, unlike with other synthetic materials.
Plastic-based fabrics, like recycled polyester, may contain harsh chemicals. They also leech microplastics into water sources during washing.
Now that you're familiar with the importance of silk hair bonnets, let's delve into why they're particularly beneficial for curly hair.
While the hair care benefits of silk are wonderful for all hair types, they're especially crucial for curly hair.
Silk hair bonnets are not just a hair accessory for curly girls—they're a lifesaver.
Curly hair is prone to dryness and frizz. This means it's also more sensitive to weather changes, like humidity.
Why, you ask, must your curls hate you so? The answer is, they don't—they simply can't help it.
Curls are just naturally vulnerable.
This is partly due to the shape of the hair shaft. Oils produced by the scalp don't coat coiled strands as well as straight ones, leading to reduced moisture and frizz. And when humidity comes into play, the hair cuticle swells, leading to poofy curls.
Given the temperamental nature of curls, choosing a silk sleep bonnet for curly hair is vital.
When worn at night while sleeping, a silk Blissy Bonnet helps:
Keep frizz and dry hair at bay
Prevent hair breakage and split ends
Maintain your curl pattern
Preserve your hairstyle longer
Blissy Bonnets ensure that your hair's natural oils and leave-in products remain where they belong. They significantly reduce friction and tugging—silk causes 43% less friction than cotton. Get ready to bid farewell to dry, dull curls and welcome happier, longer-lasting curls with our bonnet!
Although many women with curls wear a satin bonnet to bed, it isn't the best choice.
Quick Tip: Satin and silk are different. 'Satin' refers to a type of fabric weave and is often made from synthetic materials.
While bonnets made from manufactured materials like polyester are less expensive, they fall short in quality.
They tend to wear down faster, leading to more frequent replacements. In contrast, silk hair bonnets are lightweight yet durable. With proper care, a Blissy Bonnet can last up to 10 years!
Moreover, satin and other bonnets don't offer the same benefits for your curls as silk does.
Though satin bonnets may feel soft, they create more friction on hair strands than silk and fail to keep your curls hydrated.
Mulberry silk bonnets, being nearly friction-free, help maintain hair moisture, leading to smoother and glossier curls.
An added benefit is for those who tend to get hot while sleeping. A silk sleep bonnet helps maintain a cool temperature while sleeping. Its cooling, moisture-wicking properties regulate temperature, preventing sweaty nights from ruining your curls.
So, consider replacing your satin hair bonnet with a silk one! Curly hair girls will greatly benefit from the beauty advantages and longevity of silk hair bonnets.
When transitioning to a silk sleep bonnet for curly hair, consider these quality attributes:
100% pure mulberry silk fabric of the highest grade
Premiere grade 6A silk accounts for only 1-3% of silk production
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 label, which denotes product safety
Defined momme count (don't trust silk hair bonnets that list a thread count)
Superior craftsmanship and cinching, so that your bonnet stays in place all night
Psst! Blissy Bonnets meet and exceed all the above criteria!
Our luxurious hair bonnets are crafted from 22-momme mulberry silk, combining lightweight durability with ultra-softness and chic style.
Blissy Bonnets are beautifully crafted with meticulous attention to detail. They ensure a stylish and elegant appearance even during sleep. With nearly 30 color options, ranging from Champagne to Tie-Dye and Leopard, there's a bonnet to complement any sleepwear outfit.
Blissy offers silk bonnets in both regular and large sizes to fit various hair types and head sizes. The large-size bonnets are ideal for those with very long hair, thick curls, extensions, locs, or braids.
Because of their ideal elastic band length and cinching, our bonnets have no adjustable straps. There's no need to fumble with an adjustable strap—simply pull on your Blissy Bonnet and relax!
Wrapping your hair each night with our sleep bonnet for curly hair is an easy and pampering experience.
LEOPARD PRINT BONNETCaring for Blissy Bonnets is as easy as for satin bonnets. No hand washing required – they're machine washable.
On wash days, place your sleep bonnet in a mesh laundry bag for added protection.
Wash your bonnet with mild detergent on the delicate cycle using cool water.
Air drying your Blissy Bonnet is recommended, but you can use a dryer if needed. Use the lowest heat setting and dry it separately from other fabrics.

Many professionals, including celebrity hairstylist Cheryl Bergamy-Rosa, recommend wearing a silk sleep bonnet.

Love it! This is my second one. It helps retain moisture in my curls, is not tight, and doesn’t slide off while sleeping. I wear it to bed in addition to having Blissy Silk Pillowcases.
And we believe you’ll adore your Blissy Bonnet just like Blissy customer, Meadow:
[I] used to use satin bonnets until finally caving into buying full silk. There was a clear improvement in hair quality.
Including a Blissy Bonnet in your curly hair care routine is essential. But, you can also use other Blissy silk products as part of a holistic approach to further protect your curls.
Blissy Silk Pillowcases not only improve hair health but also benefit your skin. These luxurious mulberry silk pillowcases share the same benefits as our bonnets.
They also add a refined touch to any bedroom, with designs and sizes suitable for both youth and adults, ensuring everyone can enjoy beautiful curls and radiant skin.
If you need to pull up your hair, Blissy Scrunchies protect your curls while sleeping and during the day, adding a chic touch to your look.
Our premium silk scrunchies are available in three sizes – regular, skinnies, and oversized – to accommodate different hair lengths and styling needs.
Besides silk accessories, wearing a protective style like loose twists, braids, or a pineapple bun each night helps maintain and protect your curls.
Before styling and wrapping, apply a light hair oil to the ends to moisturize and maintain curl shape.
Do a weekly deep conditioning treatment
Detangle gently
Don't over-wash your hair (once per week is ideal)
And, don't play with your hair. It's tempting, but spiraling hair around your finger can make your curls fall flat.
Once you experience your curls' newfound glory with a Blissy Bonnet, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
You'll wake up each morning with beautiful, bouncy curls. Our silk sleep bonnet for curly hair is an easy yet luxurious addition to your hair care routine.
So...what are you waiting for!? Toss your satin bonnet aside and make the switch to Blissy!

Blissy pillowcases are made from mulberry silk, widely considered one of the highest-quality silks globally. This exceptional fabric provides an ultra-soft texture and elegant sheen unmatched by cheaper synthetic materials.
But mulberry silk offers far more than beauty. Numerous scientific studies have validated surprising health and wellness benefits driving Blissy's decision to spare no expense procuring the finest silk available.

Researchers have found mulberry silk leads to smoother, more hydrated skin overnight. One study discovered mulberry silk's smooth surface results in 43% less friction against skin than cotton or other fabrics. This lack of irritation helps reduce sleep creases and smoothes skin texture.
Have allergies, eczema, acne, or other skin conditions? Mulberry silk pillowcases won't bother your skin. They're hypoallergenic. Their breathability also means they won't clog up pores, which helps reduce acne breakouts.
Silk pillowcases are also moisture-wicking and hydrating. They help nourish your skin while you sleep, reducing dryness and irritation. Other materials, like cotton, absorb moisture from your skin. This can leave you with itchy or flaky dry skin.
Those are a few of the ways that silk boosts skin health. Other benefits for your skin include:
Dust mite resistant - Silk's dense weave resists dust mites from penetrating the fabric.
Anti-bacterial - Natural sericin proteins in silk have anti-microbial properties to prevent bacteria.
Anti-aging - Silk minimizes sleep creases and tugging that can lead to wrinkles over time.
There is loads of research to back up these claims, and we have dozens of blog posts that go further in-depth, so if you're still wondering, we encourage you to have a look around and continue on your research journey into silk fabric and the Blissy pillowcase.
What you'll find is, given experts' affirmations of silk’s anti-aging and skin-loving properties, paying more for top-quality Blissy ensures not just comfort but ongoing dermatological care through restorative beauty sleep.
Experts also endorse the benefits of mulberry silk for stronger, shinier hair. Just as mulberry silk is hydrating for skin, it has the same effect on hair. This shine-enhancing quality helps you get silky hair that looks beautiful and healthy.
By retaining moisture close to hair strands rather than leaching it away like cheaper materials, mulberry silk minimizes dryness and damage. Customers with bedhead, breakage, and frizz find that sleeping on a Blissy pillowcase leads to easier styling and lasting hydration.
One customer, Francesca M., says Blissy "keeps my hair noticeably smoother." Another customer, April C., says "I used to wake up with frizzy hair. Since using my Blissy pillowcase, I haven’t had any issues with my hair."
If luscious healthy hair holds appeal, upgrading your pillowcase is a proven tactic.
Silk can improve your hair in multiple ways. Some other benefits for your hair include:
Anti-tangle - The smooth texture of silk minimizes friction that causes tangled hair. Silk lets hair glide freely against the pillow.
Prevents split ends - Silk creates less abrasion and breakage leading to fewer split ends. Its gentle surface doesn't damage hair like rougher cotton.
Prevents hair breakage - Silk results in less tugging and friction damage to hair while sleeping. This greatly reduces overall breakage and preserves strength.

Finally, investment-grade silk enhances sleep quality, according to sleep medicine authorities. The thermoregulatory features and unmatched breathability produce a comfortably regulated microclimate aligned with the body's needs. This promotes deeper rapid eye movement (REM) sleep critical for memory consolidation, cognitive function, and emotional regulation.
One analysis published in Nature and Science of Sleep showed participants reported falling asleep faster, experiencing fewer nighttime awakenings, and feeling more rested upon waking after sleeping on silk bedding.
Further studies confirm mulberry silk enables stable respiration and heart rate overnight by maintaining optimal skin moisture and temperature. By alleviating allergens and discomforts that may disrupt slumber, Blissy silk pillowcases facilitate truly restorative, uninterrupted sleep.
When you pay more for a silk pillowcase, you want it to last as long as possible. You don't want to have to replace your silk pillowcases every year or two. Silk might seem like a delicate kind of fabric. So, how long can you expect it to last?
Blissy Silk Pillowcases can actually last for a decade or more with the right care. Being made from the highest quality silk helps. Mulberry silk is soft, but it has a surprising amount of strength. It also holds up well, even with frequent washings.
These silk pillowcases have a handcrafted quality that's designed for longevity. Just place your silk pillowcase in a mesh laundry bag, wash it on the delicate cycle, and air dry it.
These real silk pillowcases are also easy to care for if you prefer hand washing. Either way, you can expect your Blissy Silk Pillowcases to stay with you for the long run.
Blissy Silk Pillowcases strike the perfect balance between affordability and quality. While some silk pillowcase brands may offer lower prices, they often compromise on the benefits that Blissy provides. On the other end, brands like Slip are about 15% more expensive, and brands such as Manito are even pricier.
Choosing Blissy means you're not just saving money, but also investing in a product that offers superior value. Our transparent pricing ensures you know exactly what you're getting for your money. Plus, with our fast and free shipping, your new Blissy pillowcase arrives quickly, ready to enhance your sleep experience right away.
What makes mulberry silk, the silk used in Blissy pillowcases, the best silk pillowcase fabric? A couple of specific factors can make a difference in the quality of silk you get in pillowcases. Namely, silk grade and momme count are what you want to pay attention to when buying a silk pillowcase.
Purity, color, durability, and other factors make up a silk's grade. For the softest silk with the most beautiful sheen, you want grade 6A. This is the highest quality silk. Grade 6A silk pillowcases have a lot of strength and a flawless appearance.
Grade 6A silk pillowcases also have an airy feel for enhanced comfort. Getting a Blissy Silk Pillowcase means you'll have a grade 6A silk product that offers durability, beauty, and the softest texture.
What does momme count (also known as momme weight) mean? Momme weight refers to silk's density.
What's the ideal momme count for silk pillowcases?
A momme count of 22 is perfect! Higher counts are too heavy, resulting in an uncomfortably thick, stiff silk pillowcase. Lower counts are too thin, resulting in a fabric that is not as durable. A 22-momme weight is "the goldilocks zone" of silk bedding (it's just right). It gives silk pillowcases a lightweight feel, while also remaining durable.
Blissy's commitment to quality means that we use mulberry silk in all our silk products. Other types of silk fabric, such as eri silk and muga silk, don't quite offer the same softness, lustrous sheen, and durability.
Mulberry silk provides the best properties for silk pillowcases and other products. Every Blissy Silk Pillowcase is made from 100% mulberry silk.
Blissy sets high standards in manufacturing our products. Our products proudly bear the OEKO-TEX Certification, ensuring they have been independently tested and verified as eco-friendly, non-toxic, and safe. There are no toxic substances or harmful chemicals in any Blissy product.
With Blissy silk pillowcases, you can be sure that you're getting an environmentally friendly and safe product.
By choosing mulberry silk, we ensure our products are crafted from natural fibers, offering a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials. This choice not only benefits the planet but also delivers the superior qualities that set Blissy pillowcases apart as the finest in silk bedding.

What about silk alternatives that cost less than pure silk? Is saving money with a satin pillowcase worth it? It might be tempting to think so. But think twice before buying lower-priced alternatives to silk.
Satin might be marketed as soft, shiny, and smooth, like silk, but it's often made from synthetic materials. These don't come with the same qualities or certainty you get with silk fabric.
In fact, there's a lot of uncertainty with silk alternatives. Do you know where these products originate from? What kinds of quality assurance methods were used during production? Do they meet safety standards, or do they potentially contain harmful chemicals?
These are a few questions to ask yourself when it comes to lower-priced silk alternatives. You might save money upfront. However, you could end up with a product that's inferior in a lot of ways.
So, is Blissy pillowcase worth it? Now that you know it is, you can look forward to a good night's sleep every night. Purchase Blissy Silk Pillowcases, a Blissy sleep mask, and our other silk products to invest in your overall well-being.
From healthier skin and hair to better sleep, Blissy makes it easy to improve your day-to-day life. Experience our quality for yourself with our risk-free trial.

]]>Ladies, it's true: when it comes to looking chic and feeling comfortable, we can finally have it all. Being comfortable doesn't mean sacrificing style if we're prepared with the right outfit and accessories for traveling.
When it comes to boarding and getting situated on a crowded plane, we need comfortable outfits (lest we be caught on @passengershaming throwing a fit because we've finally just snapped from the stress of holiday travel).
Comfortable outfits suitable for drastic temperature changes and staying seated for long periods are an absolute must. When traveling, our clothes and accessories need to be functional and allow us to move around freely and easily. But a comfortable outfit does not mean you need to sacrifice style.
So, how to strike the perfect balance?
We've prepared a list of ideas for what you need to get to your destination this winter feeling stylish and cozy. Get ready to feel effortlessly stylish and flaunt your fashion with these comfy outfit ideas.
There is something about matching neutral tones that says "high fashion" without having to say it. This fit is super popular with fashion influencers and celebrities who prove that casual loungewear can be elegant and chic.
This is one of the most comfortable outfits you can wear, making it perfect for travel. Elevate the sweatsuit look from at-home-on-the-couch to airport-chic by choosing khaki tones like taupe, brown, beige, ivory or olive (choose a tone that contrasts with your complexion.) Other colors may look drab or overly casual, so leave those in your luggage to lounge around at your hotel.
Let's talk hair accessories. Yes, just because you're flying doesn't mean you get to forget about your hair. But it does mean that hair can be as effortless as it looks.
To go with your monotone sweatsuit, Blissy's Oversized Scrunchie in Taupe is perf. Its size makes it cool and quirky and we love that the color matches the neutral vibe. Another cute surprise is that the scrunchie is oversized, just like the outfit, adding another layer of comfy yet elegant fashion to the elevated sweatsuit look.
Paying attention to the little details matter, like matching your scrunchie with your outfit or to your trainers, to really cinch your look. You won't feel dressed like a slob in a sweatsuit if you throw on the right accessories.
If oversized sweatpants just aren't your thing or neutral tones wash you out, try athletic black leggings paired with an oversized black sweatshirt. Leggings are amazing since they are just as comfortable as sweats but give you a slimmer silhouette when paired with an oversized sweatshirt. Just remember that if you opt for wearing black leggings, choose some made with a thicker material or the type that you might wear to the gym.
Black is stylishly timeless and chic, so keep a couple of Blissy's Skinny Scrunchies in Black on your wrist too. Silk skinny scrunches are perfect when your vibe is low-key, but you want to keep your hair dent-free and silky smooth.
Whether you choose to wear sweats or leggings on the rest of your flight, you're sure to be comfortable. You'll have a higher chance of being able to nap if you're feeling cozy in a loose-fitting outfit. No lie, wearing pants with an elastic band makes it so staying seated for long hours is more bearable too.
Wearing a loose sweatsuit allows you to dress in easily removable layers. If you need extra warmth, you can have a pair of leggings on under your sweats. If you expect a drastic change in weather, pack these in your carry-on (or leave room for them to take off and stow when you get to your destination). Like if you're flying LA to NYC for the holidays for example.
You'll want to choose a jacket keeping climate in mind—but also travelability (a fun third word we just made up). It's impractical to wear a heavy, bulky winter coat on a plane so you'll want to store that and have a lightweight, sturdy jacket on hand.
Denim seems a bit counterintuitive since you'd want to avoid wearing denim jeans on a long flight. But an oversized denim jacket makes a great outer layer that's easy to pull on and off (especially if you're opting for the sweatsuit).
For those unaccustomed to colder climates (talking to you Angelenos and Miamians), be aware that the longer a coat is, the more warmth it will provide. For this reason, long oversized trench coats make a great lightweight option for throwing over your entire travel outfit.
Pairing an oversized outfit with an ultra-feminine hair accessory like Blissy's Hair Ribbon in Champagne is perfect.
What makes this hair accessory great to travel with is its versatility. The hair ribbon can be used to tie your ponytail or be worn as a headband. Since it's made of 100% pure mulberry silk, this is a hair accessory that will pair nicely with your sweats on the plane and with that designer dress you'll be wearing to your family's holiday party.
Chunky white trainers are fashionable and pair well with most styles and clothing items. We all know that sneakers are super comfortable, it's not all style over substance. Wearing sneakers is a great choice for traveling since they'll also give your feet the proper support they need. Good sneakers mean better posture and less back pain.
There's something about a baseball cap that signals you're doing your own thing and don't want to be bothered. It's an easy-to-wear wardrobe accessory that can also be worn to hide greasy hair. (Because who can be bothered to do a full wash cycle before catching that 5am flight?)
If you like your hair pulled back into a pony, be sure to have one of Blissy's Mini Skinny Scrunchies on hand (available in the 9-Piece Scrunchie Set). If you care about not ruining your hair, you'll want to avoid elastic hair ties at all costs (especially if you have a curly hairstyle). Silk mini scrunchies are the best similar alternative.
to a holiday event straight from the airport? Here's an outfit formula that's equal parts comfy style and you can wear the entire look straight to a holiday party. Feel comfortable and cozy on your flight in a stylish sweater dress (like this lovely green one in the inspiration photo). Layer this over a pair of trendy sheer fleece leggings.
The great thing about these types of leggings is that they look like classic sheer tights, but they're actually warm, comfy stretchy pants! Relaxed and casual meets fashionable and sophisticated (and no one has to know!)
Tie the whole festive look together with low-heeled ankle boots that are easy to slip on and off for a seamless, low-stress TSA experience. Style with an oversized silk scrunchie in a neutral color. Include a stylish clutch in your carryon to achieve this final look.
If your sweater dress is oversized, you may also want to include a waist belt to throw on when you land to complete the look. You'll be cute and holiday party-ready right off the plane with this polished look.
Wearing an oversized, relaxed outfit will allow you to travel comfortably and arrive at your location looking and feeling fantastic. Sportswear isn't just for the gym anymore. You'll feel so comfortable and sporty that you'll be wearing this outfit to run errands, shop, or grab a coffee.
If you're traveling, be sure to grab Blissy's 9-Piece Scrunchie Set which
includes their amazing 100% mulberry silk scrunchies in 3 sizes. This set includes scrunchies in Black, White, Pink, and Tie-Dye so you'll always have a scrunchie in the size and color you need. It comes in slim, sturdy packaging, making it perfect to throw in your travel bag.
Happy Travels! Stay comfy!
