FAQ's
Check out our frequently asked questions below.
How should I care for my Monday Silks products?
We've used the highest quality silk which is machine washable. However, silk is still delicate and to ensure longevity we recommend hand washing.
See our quick care tips below or read our ultimate guide to washing silk pillowcases.
- Only use a pH neutral liquid detergent which is recommended for silk. Washing in a detergent that is too acidic or alkaline will cause the silk to harden.
- Cold/warm hand OR gentle machine wash.
- For hand-wash: Don’t oversoak. Lay on a towel and roll up to extract excess water. Avoid twisting.
- Wash separately, inside out in delicates bag.
- Do not bleach or tumble dry.
- Dry in the shade.
- Iron inside out at a low temperature.
What has momme got to do with silk?
Momme(mm) is used to measure density of silk fabrics and provide understanding of the quality in a silk fabric.
Silk is an incredibly fine thread and therefore using thread counts would give an extremely high measure, compared to other materials such as cotton.
For silk bedding, you’ll want to get something with at least 19mm so it can withstand daily use and regular washing
What sizing do you offer?
Silk Pillowcases:
We currently offer New Zealand standard size pillowcases: 48cm x 73cm. Need bigger? Please let us know and we will see what we can do.
Silk Cot Sleeve:
Monday Silks Cot Sleeves have been designed for the New Zealand / USA standard size cot mattress. We have included a stretchable band on the base to allow for a small varying of sizes.
- Standard size NZ/USA cot mattresses 69cm+ wide.
- The total circumference should measure between 158cm -172cm.
- The Silk Cot Sleeve secures snug around the cot mattress and sheet for safe sleeping.
- DO NOT use if the Silk Cot Sleeve does not fit snug around the cot mattress.
If your mattress is on the larger size, please check the total circumference before purchasing as mattresses can also vary in height which will effect the fit. If you are unsure, please get in contact with us hello@mondaysilks.com.

Let customers speak for us
Really impressed with your product and your service
When a problem arose with the courier, and shipping was delayed, Monday Silks responded immediately and made sure the gift pillowcase I had ordered got to its intended recipient as soon as possible. Very good personal service.
I had a query which I emailed through and had a response straight away. Great service and lovely product! I love my pillow case!!
Highly recommend
Beautiful quality and love the zip it holds everything in place. Highly recommend. Will be buying more
Beautiful thick silk pillowcase. Love the fuchsia colour too! Best quality I’ve seen.
My order was dispatched the day placed the order. Great pillowcases & love how they have the zip that keeps the pillowcase on. Will be back to purchase more in the future.
Excellent quality silk, this is the second silk cot sheet I've bought from here. It looks nice on my baby boys bed and helps prevent bald spot from forming/getting bigger. Nice to have some options other than just white, though I would have loved a light blue sheet.
I have never had a silk pillowcase or mask before. These two items have not disappointed! Beautifully made and so incredibly luxurious. Delivered quickly and in beautiful packaging. I will definitely be buying more.
Beautiful fabric and excellent with the zip, stops my pillow escaping! Great fast delivery.
I had brought some cheaper pillowcases and recently brought these. These are next level, so beautiful and luxurious, absolutely recommended. I've just ordered a second set!
I loved it however I do think it would be nice if the concaved area was a little larger.
My pink silk pillow case arrived quickly from Fielding and was most beautifully packed.
The reason for purchase was my curly hair and the fact that silk is kinder to this sort of hair than either cotton or linen
Well made, beautifully silky feel, and colour is per description. Super-quick delivery.
