Answers to the most common questions about our handcrafted silk-filled pillows.
What is inside a silk-filled pillow?
Our pillows are filled with 100% mulberry silk fibre, not polyester or blended fillers. Silk is naturally breathable, temperature-regulating and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for healthy, restorative sleep.
Why are your silk-filled pillows more expensive?
Our pillows are handmade in Australia using the highest-grade mulberry silk fibre, which is significantly more expensive than synthetic or blended fillings. Each pillow is made slowly, by hand, with premium natural materials — not mass-produced, not imported, and never plastic-filled.
How long does delivery take and why can it take up to 3 weeks?
Each pillow is made to order by our small family business in Australia. We don’t use factories or external workers, which means production takes time — but ensures quality, care and consistency. Please allow up to 3 weeks for your pillow to be handcrafted before shipping.
Are silk-filled pillows good for allergies and sensitive skin?
Yes. Silk is naturally hypoallergenic, dust-mite resistant and breathable, making it ideal for people with allergies, asthma, eczema or sensitive skin.
Will a silk-filled pillow feel firm or soft?
Silk-filled pillows offer a supportive yet cloud-like feel. The fill moulds gently to your head and neck without collapsing, providing balanced support while staying breathable and cool.
Is this pillow suitable for side, back or stomach sleepers?
Yes. Our silk filling gently moulds to your sleeping position while maintaining support, making it suitable for all sleep styles.
How is silk different from memory foam or down?
Unlike foam, silk is natural, breathable and plastic-free. Unlike down, it’s hypoallergenic and dust-mite resistant.
Can silk-filled pillows help with allergies or asthma?
Yes. Silk naturally resists dust mites, mould and bacteria, making it ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers.
How do I care for a silk-filled pillow?
We recommend using a pillowcase and airing the pillow regularly. Spot clean only if needed to protect the silk fibres.
Why don’t big brands sell real silk-filled pillows?
Because silk is expensive and labour-intensive to work with. Mass brands rely on cheaper synthetics for scale and profit.
Who is this pillow best suited for?
Anyone who values healthier sleep, natural materials, and long-term quality over mass-produced bedding.
