Shipping & returns
Tracked delivery anywhere in Australia. Free on orders of $90 or more; below that the only method offered is Express Delivery at $27.50, which is also available above the threshold as a paid upgrade. Allow 5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time. We ship within Australia only, and every price includes GST.
You have 15 days from purchase to change your mind on an unused item in its original packaging, with proof of purchase. That is our own policy rather than a statutory right, because Australian law gives no cooling-off period for an online purchase. A change of mind return carries a $29 handling charge, you cover the return postage, and the original delivery charge is not refunded. Refunds are processed 24 to 48 hours after we receive the item.
If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, we put it right at no cost to you under the consumer guarantees in the Australian Consumer Law, return postage included. Those guarantees cannot be excluded and nothing on this page limits them; where the failure is major the choice between a refund, a replacement and a repair is yours.
Cold water, 30 degrees or below, hand wash or a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Use a detergent with no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sun and keep it out of the dryer. Iron on the lowest setting if you iron it at all.
Long-strand mulberry silk in a charmeuse weave. Black or white, queen 240 by 240 or king 240 by 270. It is a flat sheet, not a set.
One flat sheet in 100 per cent long-strand mulberry silk, woven charmeuse at 19 momme. It goes over you, not around the mattress.
Queen is 240 cm by 240 cm and king is 240 cm by 270 cm. Measure the bed rather than reading across from the mattress label, because depths vary more than sizes do.
19 momme is the usual weight for a piece this size. The pillowcases on this site are 22 momme because a smaller piece takes more handling.
Charmeuse gives it a shiny face and a matte back, which is why one side looks glossier than the other. Either side can go up.
A flat sheet is the layer between you and the quilt. This one is 100 per cent long-strand mulberry silk woven charmeuse at 19 momme, in black or white, in two sizes.
Momme is a weight rather than a thread count, because silk thread is too fine to count usefully. 19 momme is the weight a sheet is normally woven at: the same silk at 22 momme across two and a half metres starts behaving like furnishing fabric.
Long-strand means longer filaments and fewer joins, which is what keeps a piece this size even across its whole area. It describes the fibre and it does not promise a result.
Charmeuse is the weave. One face is shiny and the other is matte, and that is a property of how the threads are interlaced rather than a finish applied afterwards.
Washing something this size is where a silk sheet is either easy or ruined. Cold, gentle, on its own, air dried out of the sun. A full machine is what damages a large piece of silk, not the water.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. You have 15 days from purchase on any unused item in its original packaging. That is our own policy rather than a statutory right, because Australian law gives no cooling-off period for an online purchase, and we would rather say so than imply a right you do not have. A change of mind return carries a $29 handling charge and you cover the return postage.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The consumer guarantees in the Australian Consumer Law give you a repair, a replacement or your money back, and where the failure is major the choice is yours rather than ours. We pay the return postage and nothing on this page limits any of it. Read the detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
One flat sheet. It is not a fitted sheet and it is not a set, so it goes over you rather than around the mattress.
What are the two sizes?
Queen is 240 cm by 240 cm and king is 240 cm by 270 cm. Measure the bed rather than reading across from the mattress label.
What weight is the silk?
19 momme, in a charmeuse weave. That is the usual weight for a sheet: the pillowcases are 22 momme because a smaller piece takes more handling.
What is charmeuse?
A weave with a shiny face and a matte back. It is why one side of the sheet looks glossier than the other.
Is it long-strand silk?
Yes, long-strand mulberry silk. Longer fibres mean fewer joins, which is what keeps a large piece even.
Can I machine wash a sheet this size?
Yes, cold and on a gentle cycle, on its own. A full machine is what damages a large silk piece, not the water.
Will it slide off the bed?
Silk is smooth, so a flat sheet on top of a slippery quilt cover can move. Most people find it settles once it is tucked at the foot.
Does it come with pillowcases?
No. The pillowcases are sold separately and they are 22 momme rather than 19.
Why is a sheet so much more than a pillowcase?
It is about eight times the fabric. The price follows the area, not the product type.
Which colour should I choose?
Black or white. Both are the same sheet at the same price.
Is the price per sheet?
Yes, one flat sheet per order line.
Can I iron it?
On the lowest setting, on the matte side, while it is slightly damp.
How much is delivery?
Free across Australia on orders of $90 or more. Below that it is $27.50. Allow 5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.
Do your prices include GST?
Yes. Every price on this site includes GST, so the figure on the product page is the figure you pay.
How do I wash it?
Cold water, 30 degrees or below, hand wash or a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Use a detergent with no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sun and keep it out of the dryer. Iron on the lowest setting if you iron it at all.
Can I put it in the dryer?
No.
What detergent should I use?
A liquid with no enzymes and no bleach. Enzyme detergents are designed to break down protein, and silk is a protein fibre.
Will it pill?
Long-fibre mulberry silk resists pilling better than short-staple fabrics, and a gentle wash keeps it that way.
Will the colour fade?
Dry it out of direct sun and it holds its colour. Sunlight is what fades silk, not washing.
Does it shrink?
Not in cold water on a gentle cycle. Heat is what shrinks silk, so the dryer is the thing to avoid.
Do you deliver outside Australia?
This store delivers within Australia. Flair Silk has stores in other countries and the footer links to them.
What payment methods do you accept?
Card payment through Stripe, and PayPal. Those are the two methods at checkout.
How do I track my order?
A tracking number is emailed as soon as the parcel ships. There is a Track Your Parcel page in the Company menu.
Can I return it?
Within 15 days, unused and in its original packaging. The refunds and returns page sets out the detail, and the consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law apply on top of it.
Does this do anything for my skin or hair?
We describe the fabric, not an outcome. Silk is smoother than cotton, so hair and skin slide across it rather than dragging. We make no medical, dermatological or anti-ageing claim, and where you see one made about silk elsewhere it is usually not evidenced.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Email us as soon as you can. Once a parcel has been picked and labelled it is usually on its way, so the sooner you write the more we can do.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. This is an online store with no shop floor, which is part of why the prices are what they are.
Will I get a receipt?
Yes. A receipt is emailed after payment, along with an order confirmation.
Do you sell wholesale?
Yes. There is a wholesale page with the detail and a form to start the conversation.
The complete guide
What a silk flat sheet is, and what it is not
4 min readFlair Silk Company
It is one flat sheet
Not a set, not a fitted sheet, not a quilt cover. One flat sheet that goes over
you. If you are dressing a whole bed you will need the rest of the bedding from
somewhere else, and that is worth knowing before the parcel arrives.
The two sizes
Queen is 240 cm by 240 cm and king is 240 cm by 270 cm. Measure the bed rather
than reading across from the mattress label, because a flat sheet needs enough
width to tuck and mattress depths vary more than sizes do.
19 momme, not 22
The pillowcases on this site are 22 momme and this sheet is 19. That is not a
downgrade, it is what a large piece is usually woven at: 22 momme across two and
a half metres is heavy enough to feel like furnishing silk rather than bedding.
Charmeuse
A weave with a shiny face and a matte back. It is why one side of the sheet
looks glossier than the other, and either side can go up.
Long-strand silk
Longer filaments mean fewer joins, which is what keeps a piece this size even.
It is a description of the fibre, not a claim about what the sheet will do for
you.
Washing something this big
Cold, gentle cycle, on its own. A full machine is what damages a large silk
piece, not the water. Air dry out of the sun. If you iron it, do the matte side
on the lowest setting while it is still slightly damp.
Tell us what you want it to do and how you do laundry, and we will tell you whether the silk or the satin is the better spend. Free delivery across Australia on orders over $90.
