Frequently Asked Questions

What is PUR.REST ?

Pur.rest is specially tailored according to the highest quality standards to provide the ultimate combination of thickness, smoothness and durability. We use grade (6A) undyed long fibre pure mulberry silk, with a thickness of 22 momme.

Why sleep on a pur.rest pillowcase instead of cotton or satin?

Ordinary pillowcases are harsh on hair and skin. Pur.rest wraps your skin in softness, whereas other fabrics score and pull on delicate facial skin, resulting in premature aging and sleep creases. Read more about the benefits of sleeping on a Pur.rest pillowcase in the benefits section.

How do I care for my PUR.REST silk pillowcase?

Even though Pur.rest is made of the highest quality and it is machine washable, it is important to remember that it is still made of silk so the more we care about it the more it will last and maintain its shine.  Silk is a natural fibre and washing in a solution that’s too acidic or alkaline can cause the silk to harden in a single wash.  A wash bag is optional but highly recommended. 

If you wish to maximise the life of your pillowcase, hand washing is the ultimate method.

What is a momme?

Momme is a measurement which indicates the weight of the silk. The thicker or heavier the silk the softer it feels and the longer it lasts.  PUR.REST customers experience clearly the difference from other pillowcases.  We guarantee that PUR.REST pillowcases are made of pure 22 momme.

What size is a pur.rest silk pillowcase?

Pur.rest pillowcases are available in a standard international size of 50cm x 70cm. If you need a custom size, please feel free to contact us, and we can arrange it for you.
