Silk Pillowcases and Sleep Masks for Softer Nights
Silk has been used for sleep for centuries, and the reason is straightforward: it is smooth, it does not grip the skin, and it sits cool against the face in a way that cotton cannot replicate. In a warm climate like Cyprus, those properties make silk pillowcases and silk sleep masks genuinely useful — not just a comfort upgrade, but a material that behaves differently in the heat.
The silk in this collection is mulberry silk — the highest grade available for bedding. Mulberry silk comes from silkworms raised on white mulberry leaves, producing a finer, longer, and more uniform fibre than other silk types. The NOXNOX Mulberry Silk Pillowcases are 19 momme, which is the standard weight range for pillow use — heavy enough to feel substantial, light enough not to trap heat. The Silk & Bamboo Pillowcases blend mulberry silk with bamboo to combine the smoothness of silk with the natural breathability of bamboo fibre.
For sleep masks, both the NOXNOX Classic Silk Sleep Mask and the Sleeptime Silk Sleep Mask are made from the same mulberry silk. Silk sleep masks block light without pressing against the eyelids, and the smooth surface means they do not leave marks on the skin around the eyes overnight.
The full collection — pillowcases and sleep masks — is designed to work together, but each piece works on its own.
