Brooklinen's Mulberry Silk Pillowcase makes the value argument in this category: the same headline spec as the $90 brands — 100% mulberry silk at 22 momme — for about $59. Brooklinen built its name on bedding quality control, and the case carries that over with neat stitching and an envelope closure.
We researched it against the pricier leaders on fabric spec, closure design, care, and owner reports. The short version: you give up the zipper and some of the finish refinement, and you keep most of what actually matters.

From $59 — check current pricing and selected options.
The Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Pillowcase is the value pick: genuine 22-momme mulberry silk at roughly two-thirds the price of Blissy or Slip, with a simple envelope closure.
What the evidence tells us

Fabric quality
At 22 momme, the Brooklinen case matches the premium brands on the spec that determines feel and lifespan. The finish is a touch less glassy than Slip's Slipsilk and the color palette is smaller and more neutral, but the fiber and weave are the genuine article — not satin polyester.
Closure and fit
The envelope closure is the main design difference: there is no zipper, so the pillow is held by a fabric flap. It looks cleaner and there is nothing to snag, but restless sleepers occasionally find the pillow creeping out overnight — the trade-off for the lower price.
Care and durability
Brooklinen's care guidance is machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry — the same practical routine as Blissy. Expect the same silk lifespan of two to three years of nightly use with proper care.

Final verdict
The Brooklinen case is the smart-money buy in silk: the same 22-momme mulberry fabric as the category leaders at a meaningfully lower price. The envelope closure is the only real compromise.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Brooklinen silk pillowcase real silk?
Yes — 100% mulberry silk at 22 momme, the same weight class as Blissy and Slip.
Zipper or envelope — which is better?
A zipper locks the pillow in place, which matters for restless sleepers. An envelope closure looks cleaner and has no hardware to snag hair. Brooklinen uses envelope; Blissy and Slip use hidden zippers.
How long does a silk pillowcase last?
With cold gentle washing and air drying, expect two to three years of nightly use before the fabric thins at the fold points. Rotating two cases extends the life of both.
