Silk pillowcase 50x70: why choose this size?
Elegant and soft, silk is attracting more and more high-end bedding enthusiasts. Among the formats, the 50x70 holds a special place: suitable for elongated rectangular pillows, it combines cervical comfort and modern aesthetics.
Why choose the 50x70 format?
The 50x70 is popular in Europe for its elongated rectangular shape. Its advantages:
- Cervical support: its length provides better neck support.
- Modern aesthetic: a refined hotel-like style.
- Versatility: it adapts to both double and king-size beds.
The benefits of silk in this format
Regardless of the format, sleeping on silk is not just about comfort:
- Less friction, therefore fewer marks upon waking.
- Preserved hydration: silk absorbs much less than cotton.
- More disciplined hair: less breakage and frizz.
- Hypoallergenic: naturally resistant to dust mites.
Which density (momme) for a 50x70?
Density is measured in momme. 19 and 22 momme are already very high quality; higher densities offer an even flatter surface and a smoother glide, appreciated by fragile hair.
How to care for a 50x70 silk pillowcase?
- Washing: by hand or machine on a delicate cycle (max 30 \u00b0C), in a laundry bag.
- Drying: flat, in the shade, never in the tumble dryer.
- Ironing: at a low temperature, inside out if necessary.
