The short answer

Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Pillowcase 22 Momme comes out ahead by a clear margin (4.3 vs 4.7). The gap is mostly about Hot sleepers and first-time silk buyers who want a real 22-momme mulberry pillowcase from a DTC brand with a long, no-questions trial. — read the strengths below before deciding.

Ranked #5 in Best Silk Pillowcases

Alaska Bear Natural Silk Pillowcase 19 Momme

4.3

$38

Alaska Bear is the entry-point silk pillowcase: real 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk with OEKO-TEX certification at roughly a third of the premium brands' pricing. The 19-momme weave is genuinely thinner than the 22-momme cases, but for first-time silk buyers who aren't ready to spend $70+ on a single pillowcase, it delivers the core silk benefits at the lowest viable entry price.

Strengths

— 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk at the lowest price in this round-up
— OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified — chemical-safety baseline matches premium brands
— Hidden zipper closure with 600 thread count construction

Watch-outs

— 19-momme weave is thinner and less substantial than 22+ momme rivals
— Zipper and packaging feel budget compared to DTC premium brands
— Softness can degrade after repeated machine washes

Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Pillowcase 22 Momme

4.7

— 100% long-strand mulberry silk in 22-momme charmeuse weave
— Envelope closure stays in place without a face-irritating zipper
— OEKO-TEX certified and fully machine washable on gentle

Watch-outs

— Only Standard and King sizes — no true Queen option
— Hand-washing recommended to maximize lifespan
— Envelope closure can shift overnight for restless sleepers

How they stack up

Alaska Bear Natural Silk Pillowcase 19 Momme

Genuinely thinner-feeling than the 22-momme Quince 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase and the 22-momme Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Pillowcase 22 Momme, but at a third of the price of Quince's and roughly a sixth of the price of the Blissy 100% Mulberry 22-Momme Silk Pillowcase. Lighter than every other pillowcase in this round-up — the LilySilk 25 Momme Terse Envelope Luxury Pillowcase has roughly 32 percent more silk per unit area. The trade-off is honest: less silk, less polish, much lower price.

Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Pillowcase 22 Momme

More polished than the Quince 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase and built on the same 22-momme charmeuse, but with a year-long trial and envelope closure that the Quince lacks. Less luxurious in hand than the LilySilk 25 Momme Terse Envelope Luxury Pillowcase, which weighs more and drapes denser. Doesn't market the antibacterial or clinical claims that the Blissy 100% Mulberry 22-Momme Silk Pillowcase leans on, but the closure and warranty are more thoughtful.
