You already know cotton is damaging your hair. The question is which silk is actually worth buying.
Not all silk pillowcases are the same. Most of what is sold as silk is not silk at all.
Three things sold as silk. Only one actually works.
What most stores sell
Polyester Satin
PHP 100 to 500. Woven polyester thread, not silk fibre. Smooth to the touch but it traps heat, absorbs moisture, and creates the same friction as cotton. The word satin describes a weave, not a material. You are sleeping on plastic.
Real silk, but thin
19 to 22 Momme Silk
Real mulberry silk, but at a lower momme weight. Thinner fabric means less durability, more bunching, and a smooth surface that does not last. Most brands in this range do not print their momme weight because they know how it compares.
What actually works
25 Momme Mulberry Silk
The highest commercially available grade. Dense enough to hold its smooth surface through regular washing. Heavy enough to stay in place. Light enough to breathe in Philippine heat. This is what LuviaSleep uses. Nothing else.
The Number That Matters
Momme weight is to silk what thread count is to cotton. Most sellers will not print theirs.
19 to 22 Momme
What most brands sell
Thinner weave. Wears down faster with washing. More likely to bunch and lose its smooth surface within months. The hair and skin benefits are real but short-lived. Fine as a starting point. Not worth paying premium prices for.
25 Momme
LuviaSleep
The densest weave available. More silk fibre per square inch means a surface that stays smooth and intact through years of washing, not months. The hair and skin benefits are stronger and they last. This is the weight that performs.

Free shipping across the Philippines. Pay on delivery.
The highest commercially available momme weight. Most brands use 19 to 22. The difference is density, durability, and how long it keeps working.
6A Grade
The top grade of mulberry silk, rated for long, even thread length and minimal defects. It is what determines how the fabric feels and how long it lasts.
OEKO-TEX Certified
Independently tested and certified free of harmful substances. Safe for direct contact with your skin every night. Not a marketing claim. A certification.
Hidden YKK Zipper
Fully concealed so nothing snags your hair at night. The zipper is the part most brands cut corners on. LuviaSleep uses YKK — the gold standard in closure hardware.
60-Night Guarantee
Sleep on it for 60 nights. If you do not see a difference in your hair or skin, return it. No complicated process. No questions asked.
Free Shipping. Pay on Delivery.
Free delivery across the Philippines. Pay when it arrives at your door. No credit card required before you decide it is worth it.
The Construction Advantage
Most silk pillowcases slide off your pillow by 2am. LuviaSleep does not.
A fully silk pillowcase is slippery on both sides. It moves. It bunches. You wake up with your face on the bare pillow insert. LuviaSleep solves this with a deliberate two-material construction that competitors either do not use or do not explain.
The Silk Side
100% 25 Momme Mulberry Silk
The side that rests against your hair and face all night. Zero friction. Zero absorption. Your treatment stays on your hair. Your serum stays on your skin. This is where the benefit happens — and this is why the momme weight matters. Lower momme = less silk density = weaker protection. 25 momme holds the surface longer and performs better from the first night.
The Cotton Back
100% Breathable Cotton
The side that grips the pillow insert and holds everything in place. Cotton has natural texture that prevents sliding — something silk cannot do against itself. This is why fully silk pillowcases bunch and migrate during the night. The cotton back is not a compromise. It is the reason LuviaSleep stays where you put it. This is the same construction used by every premium silk brand internationally.
What Our Customers Are Saying
★★★★★
"My rebond is finally lasting."
I tried it after my stylist recommended it. After two weeks my rebond was still smooth. I had no idea my pillow was the reason it kept fading so fast.

★★★★★
"My retinol is actually working now."
Four months of retinol with no visible results. Two weeks with LuviaSleep and I finally see a difference. I had no idea my pillow was absorbing everything.

★★★★★
"Worth every peso."
I thought it was expensive. But my rebond costs more than this pillowcase. LuviaSleep protects that investment every single night. Worth every peso.

Before You Switch
The one on Shopee is also silk and costs PHP 299.
It is almost certainly polyester satin, not silk. The word silk is used loosely in marketplace listings. Real mulberry silk costs more than PHP 299 to produce. The test is simple: does the listing mention momme weight? If not, assume it is satin. Satin is a weave, not a material. It is polyester. It traps heat and creates the same friction as cotton.
Why does LuviaSleep cost more than other silk pillowcases?
25 momme silk costs more to produce than 19 to 22 momme. 6A grade costs more than lower grades. OEKO-TEX certification costs more than no certification. YKK zippers cost more than generic ones. Every material decision LuviaSleep made was the more expensive choice. That is the difference you are paying for.
Why is one side cotton and not fully silk?
The silk side rests against your hair and face all night. The cotton back grips the pillow and holds the pillowcase in place. A fully silk back is slippery against a pillow insert and slides off during the night, which means your face ends up on bare cotton anyway. The cotton back is not a cost-cutting measure. It is the correct construction. Every premium silk brand worldwide uses it.
How do I know it is actually real silk?
Three things confirm it. First, the momme weight is printed: 25 momme. No brand selling satin or thin silk wants you making that comparison. Second, OEKO-TEX certification is independently verified, not self-declared. Third, the 60-night guarantee exists because we know what the product does. A brand selling polyester satin does not offer 60 nights.
