There’s a buzz in the beauty world that’s not going away anytime soon—silk pillow covers. From dermatologists to curly-haired influencers on Instagram, everyone’s raving about this small but mighty bedroom essential. And it’s not just another trend. Silk pillow covers, particularly those made with 100% pure Mulberry silk like the Lisseto Collection from Livspace, are fast becoming the go-to choice for anyone serious about skin and hair health.
What is a silk pillow cover?
A silk pillow cover is exactly what it sounds like—a pillowcase crafted from luxurious, smooth silk, specifically Mulberry silk, known for its superior softness and quality. Unlike cotton or linen, silk doesn’t tug at your skin or hair as you sleep. It’s gentle, breathable, and naturally hypoallergenic. And when it’s made from 100% pure Mulberry silk, like Livspace’s Lisseto collection, you know you're sleeping in style and science.
Why is everyone switching to silk?
In the era of skincare awareness and beauty sleep, silk pillowcases are no longer just a luxury—they’re a wellness essential. Here’s why they’re topping beauty editors’ lists:
- Frizz control & curl care: Say goodbye to waking up with a halo of frizz. Silk’s smooth surface minimises friction, which helps retain curl patterns and reduce breakage, especially important for India’s most common hair types: wavy and curly
- Hydrated, happy skin: Cotton absorbs moisture, robbing your skin of its natural oils. Silk, on the other hand, helps your skin stay hydrated through the night
- No more sleep creases: Tired of those weird pillow lines on your face? Silk keeps the skin smooth, reducing the appearance of sleep lines over time
- Temperature regulation: Silk is naturally cooling and breathable, perfect for India’s humid climate and year-round tropical nights
What’s special about mulberry silk?
Not all silk is created equal, and Mulberry silk is widely regarded as the crème de la crème. Spun from the cocoons of silkworms raised on a strict diet of mulberry leaves, this silk is softer, smoother, and more durable than other varieties. It’s also naturally hypoallergenic and less absorbent, which means it won’t steal your skincare while you sleep.
Mulberry silk stands out for its:
- Ultra-smooth texture: Less friction = fewer tangles, sleep lines, and breakouts
- High tensile strength: Despite its delicate feel, it lasts longer and resists pilling
- Natural sheen: That subtle, luxurious glow you see isn’t artificial—it’s the mark of premium silk
- Breathability and thermoregulation: Keeps you cool in summer, warm in winter
This is the same silk used in luxury fashion houses and five-star hotel bedding—but now available for your everyday wellness routine through Livspace’s Lisseto collection. When a pillowcase does this much, it’s no longer just bedding—it’s a beauty tool.
Why Indian hair needs silk care

Indian hair types—typically wavy to curly—are beautiful but high-maintenance. They’re prone to dryness, tangling, and frizz, especially in our humid weather. Traditional pillowcases made of rougher fabrics can literally rub your hair the wrong way, causing overnight damage.
This is where a silk pillowcase becomes a game-changer. It lets your curls glide instead of getting caught and matted. With continued use, silk pillow covers can help preserve curl definition, reduce split ends, and maintain moisture in both hair and scalp. No wonder curly hair communities online are calling it a “non-negotiable”.
