Silk nightcaps are designed to minimize friction while you sleep, reduce frizz and hair breakage, and help keep your hair hydrated. But choosing the right nightcap isn’t always easy.
In this article, we compare the Turban nightcap by Slip and the silk Turban nightcap by Maison de la soie. These two products offer two different approaches, with a fairly significant price difference.
This comparison presents their features objectively to help consumers choose the product that best suits their priorities.
Verdict at a Glance
The Slip Turban is made from 22-momme mulberry silk, is fully lined on both the inside and outside, and comes with a 60-day return policy. However, this turban is priced at a fairly high €88 per unit.
The Turban Nightcap from Maison de la soie is priced at €39. It is also made from 19-momme Grade 6A mulberry silk, certified to the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. It features an elastic band at the back and includes free shipping in France on orders of €50 or more.
Both products use Grade 6A mulberry silk and have the same OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification. The main differences lie in the silk’s weight and the fabric lining on the Slip model. These two differences account for the significant price difference between the two models.

Detailed Analysis
Price
Price is one of the main differences between the two turban hats featured in this comparison.
The Maison de la soie turban is priced at €39 (non-promotional price), while the Turban Slip is priced at €88. The price difference between the two items is therefore significant.
Maison de la soie thus offers the lower price of the two products being compared. Slip is positioned at a higher price point, primarily due to its use of 22-momme silk.
Customer Reviews
At the time this comparison was compiled, the Maison de la soie product page had 106 reviews. The product page for Slip’s turban hat had 254 reviews.
The Slip product therefore has the highest number of reviews. The number of reviews provides insight into the volume of published feedback, but is not sufficient on its own to assess a product’s quality.
We can see that the Australian brand Slip has a clear advantage in terms of the number of reviews. But be careful not to confuse the number of reviews with the number of satisfied customers.
After reading the reviews on the Maison de la soie turban product page, we see that the majority of customers are delighted with this hair cap. They appreciate the quality of its craftsmanship and acknowledge the benefits this product has on their hair after use.
As for Slip, reading the reviews (in English) reveals that customers also seem very satisfied. Several customers highlight the cap’s chic look and the fact that it reduces hair breakage and frizz upon waking up.
Silk Quality
Both sleep caps are made from Grade 6A mulberry silk, considered the highest grade of silk. However, the stated thread count differs from one product to another:
- Maison de la soie: 19 mommes
- Slip: 22 mommes
The momme is a unit used to express the density of a silk fabric.
For fabrics of comparable construction, a higher momme value corresponds to a denser, thicker fabric. The Slip model is therefore made from a slightly thicker silk fabric than the Maison de la soie model. However, this inevitably results in a higher price for the product.
Certification
Both products are certified under the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
This internationally recognized independent certification ensures that no substances harmful to health were found in the tested product.
Size and Fit
The Maison de la soie headband comes in a standard size with a stated diameter of 29 cm. It features an elastic band at the back to ensure a secure fit.
The Turban Slip is advertised as suitable for head circumferences between 54 and 72 cm. Its product description indicates that it is lined both inside and out. The support system appears to be comparable to that of the Maison de la soie headscarf.
Solid Colors
Maison de la soie offers 6 solid colors, compared to 5 solid colors at Slip.
The difference is minor, but Maison de la soie offers one additional solid color at the time of this review.
Shipping
Maison de la soie offers free shipping in France on orders of €50 or more. At Slip, the advertised threshold is €120.
It is therefore easier to qualify for free shipping at Maison de la soie than at its Australian competitor.
Return Period
Maison de la soie offers a 30-day return period.
Slip offers a 60-day window, which is twice as long.
On this specific point, Slip has the edge.
Who is each cup size best suited for?
The Slip Turban is a better fit if:
- you’re looking for 22-momme silk
- you want a cap that’s lined both inside and out
- you want a return window of up to 60 days
- you’re willing to spend a bit more on your turban (€88)
The Maison de la soie Turban nightcap is a better choice if:
- you’re looking for a 19-momme, grade 6A silk nightcap at a more affordable price
- you want to keep your budget for this purchase under €40
- you prefer Colissimo shipping (2 to 3 days) from France

Conclusion
The Turban Slip and the Turban Nightcap by Maison de la soie share several common features, including the use of Grade 6A mulberry silk and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification.
The Slip stands out with its 22-momme silk, lined design, and a 60-day return window. However, its listed retail price is significantly higher.
Maison de la soie offers 19-momme silk and a 30-day return window. This silk turban is available at an affordable price of €39 (excluding promotions), comes in 6 different colors, and has a lower threshold for free shipping.
Your choice will therefore depend mainly on your budget, the desired thread count, your preferred style, and how important the return window is to you.
