Silkora silk pillowcase in Chocolate, the colour Slimgetest.nl tested

Silkora review: our silk pillowcase in three Dutch comparisons

Three Dutch comparison sites line up silk pillowcases: Slimgetest.nl, Slaapwijsheden.nl and Rustigenacht.nl. Silkora is on all three lists, and each site gave us its own “best” title. Below you can read, site by site, what they liked, what they were less happy with and what you can do about it.

In short

  • Slimgetest.nl: second of eight. The 60x70 scored a 9.1 and the title “Best certified silk”, the 40x80 an 8.8 and “Best for long pillows”.
  • Slaapwijsheden.nl: fourth of seven. 4.9 out of 5 and the title “Best cooling choice”.
  • Rustigenacht.nl: fourth of six. 4.6 out of 5 and the title “Best with a hidden zip”.
  • What all three mention: 22 momme mulberry silk and the hidden zip. Two of the three also mention the OEKO-TEX® label.
  • Minus points: bold colours such as Chocolate, Golden Yellow and Icy Blue, a zip that needs some care in the wash, and at Slaapwijsheden the delivery time and the colour choice.
  • As of 31 October 2026. The sites update their lists regularly.

The three comparisons side by side

SitePlace and titleScore
Slimgetest.nl, 60x702nd of 8, “Best certified silk”9.1 out of 10
Slimgetest.nl, 40x807th of 8, “Best for long pillows”8.8 out of 10
Slaapwijsheden.nl4th of 7, “Best cooling choice”4.9 out of 5
Rustigenacht.nl4th of 6, “Best with a hidden zip”4.6 out of 5

The three sites each work differently. Slimgetest tests for itself: its editors sleep on the pillowcases and wash them. Slaapwijsheden compares the pillowcases on mulberry quality, momme weight, the OEKO-TEX label, the closure and care. Rustigenacht says openly that it did not test the pillowcases itself, but lines up the details from makers and Bol.com. Silkora sent none of the three anything and paid none of them anything.

Slimgetest.nl: second of eight

Each season, Slimgetest's editors assess more than 25 silk pillowcases, always in the same way.

  1. The label firstIs it 100% mulberry silk, how many momme does the fabric weigh and which fibre grade does it state? Whatever a brand leaves out costs points.
  2. At least seven nights on itHow does the fabric drape over the pillow, does the closure stay shut and how does your hair look in the morning?
  3. Three washes at 30 °CIn a laundry bag. After each wash they look again at the sheen, the shape and the seams.

They score six fixed points: the material, the momme weight, the fibre grade, the finish, the fit and how the pillowcase stands up to washing. Slimgetest receives test models from brands, but says it accepts no money for places or scores.

60x70: best certified silk (9.1)

Our silk pillowcase 60x70 finished second of eight. The tested colour was Chocolate: the pillowcase in the photo at the top.

What the testers liked

  • The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 label: the fabric has been tested for harmful substances
  • The hidden zip stays shut, while an envelope closure can slide open during the night
  • The fabric sits smoothly on the pillow without pulling
  • After repeated washes at 30 °C, the sheen stayed the same

Their minus points

  • The dark Chocolate colour doesn't suit all bedding
  • The zip needs care in the wash

What to do about those minus points: pick a colour that suits your bedroom; the 60x70 comes in eight colours, from Off-White and Champagne to Olive Green and Chocolate. And wash the pillowcase with the zip closed, inside out and in a laundry bag, at 30 °C or colder. The whole routine is in how to wash a silk pillowcase.

In its conclusion, Slimgetest names this pillowcase the safer choice if you have sensitive skin, because of the OEKO-TEX label. What that label means is explained in our guide how to choose a silk pillowcase.

40x80: best for long pillows (8.8)

Our silk pillowcase 40x80 scored an 8.8 and the title “Best for long pillows”. It is the same silk as the 60x70, in the size for the elongated pillow. Many brands only make 60x70, the testers note.

What the testers liked

  • A size for narrow and long pillows that you don't find everywhere
  • It sits smooth and snug on a narrow pillow; a pillowcase that is too big creases under your cheek
  • The same fabric, the same OEKO-TEX® label and the same hidden zip as the 60x70

Their minus points

  • It doesn't fit a 60x70 pillow
  • Golden Yellow is a bold colour

What to do about those minus points: measure your pillow before you order. Our guide which size pillowcase do I need? shows you how. Prefer a quieter colour? The 40x80 comes in six colours, including Off-White, Beige and Silver Grey.

Slaapwijsheden.nl: best cooling choice (4.9)

Slaapwijsheden.nl lines up seven silk pillowcases. Silkora comes fourth, with 4.9 out of 5 and the title “Best cooling choice”. According to the site, the pillowcase feels cool the moment you lay your head on it, which makes it a strong choice if you tend to get warm at night.

What they liked

  • 100% mulberry silk in Grade 6A
  • The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 label
  • Cool when you get into bed, pleasant for warm sleepers
  • The hidden zip makes changing the pillowcase easy
  • Every pillowcase comes in a gift box

Their minus points

  • Delivery often takes a little longer than for pillowcases kept in stock
  • Only one colour per variant

What to do about those minus points: in our shop you choose your own colour. The 60x70 comes in eight colours, the 40x80 in six and the 50x70 in three. And we ship within one working day with PostNL; in the Netherlands your parcel usually arrives the next working day, elsewhere in Europe within two to five working days.

Rustigenacht.nl: best with a hidden zip (4.6)

Rustigenacht.nl lines up six silk pillowcases, based on the details from makers and Bol.com. Silkora comes fourth, in the colour Icy Blue, with 4.6 out of 5. With 22 momme and 100% mulberry silk, the site says, Silkora is close on the basics to the premium models ranked above it.

What they liked

  • 22 momme and 100% mulberry silk
  • The hidden zip keeps the pillow snugly in place
  • It can go in the washing machine at 30 °C

Their minus points

  • Icy Blue is less neutral than white or grey
  • If you don't want a zip in the edge, an envelope closure suits you better

What to do about those minus points: choose a quiet colour such as Off-White, Beige or Silver Grey. Off-White comes in all three sizes. And about the zip: an envelope closure has none, but it can slide open during the night. That is exactly why Slimgetest's testers gave the zip a plus point.

Our reaction

Three sites, three ways of comparing, and the same points keep coming back: 22 momme mulberry silk and a hidden zip that stays shut. Each site gave us its own “best” title: for certified silk, for long pillows, as the cooling choice and for the zip. We take the minus points seriously, which is why each one above comes with what you can do about it.

And what do buyers say?

A comparison site takes one good look. Our customers sleep on our pillowcases every night. This is their verdict, next to the key facts:

Frequently asked questions

Did Silkora pay for these places?

No. We sent nothing to any of the sites and paid none of them. Their buttons lead to Bol.com.

Will the comparisons be updated?

Yes. Slimgetest updates its test twice a year, and the other two also revise their lists regularly. This page describes the situation on 31 October 2026. If a site now says something different, its own page is the one that counts.

Where can I buy the pillowcases from the comparisons?

In our shop, in every colour and size: the 60x70 in Chocolate and the 40x80 in Golden Yellow from Slimgetest's test, and the 60x70 in Icy Blue from Rustigenacht's list. Every other colour is the same 22 momme mulberry silk.
