If you're feeling a little uncomfy at night lately—or you just want to feel rich AF— may I suggest swapping out your cotton sheets for silk ones? You simply must experience the cool slick of this luxurious lightweight fabric after a long day, which is why I’ve rounded up the best silk sheets money can buy below.
Aside from the fact that silk sheets (especially the ones on this list, if I do say so myself) are absolutely stunning, they’re also refreshing yet cozy, breathable yet smooth, and much healthier for your skin and hair. Yep, that’s right—silk sheets have beauty benefits (Hence: the silk pillowcase craze). The magic is in the ultra-smooth texture of the fabric, which prevents your precious locks from getting tangled up at night. Blowout = preserved!
Silk sheets also retain moisture rather than drawing it out (unlike most other sheets), meaning your hair and skin will stay nice and hydrated while you sleep. Dreamy, right?! Although, I should mention that they tend to cost more than, say, flannel sheets or winter sheets or regular ol' soft sheets—but you definitely deserve a little upgrade.
And if you’re looking to treat yourself to a luxury set of bed sheets, silk is most definitely worth the splurge. I got you covered, too, with some affordable options. Scroll down for the 15 best silk sheets and bed accessories to shop right now.
If you're not ready to fully commit to a full set of silk sheets, start with just a silk pillowcase. SLIP, the original beauty sleep pillowcases, are the perfect option. Wake up lookin' fab with this ultra-soft silk one. Plus, it comes with a beauty mask. Sold!
I know, I know, the price is...up there. But this set is made of 100 percent pure Mulberry silk. According to one reviewer, the sheets feel "silky, buttery, and creamy smooth" but never slippery. "I did not find myself sliding off the bed," they added, "I woke up and caught myself smiling in bliss!"
Try all you want but no one can convince me that this charcoal shade isn't one of the sexiest hues out there. A quick warning: the 400 thread-count, silky soft set will make it really hard to get outta bed.
If the price points above scare you—they scare me too, no shame!—then try out a satin alternative. These best-sellers on Amazon have thousands of reviews and a 4.5-star rating. It's like you dropped a few hundred dollars on a set, but really only spent under 40 bucks.
This beauty sleep pillowcase has killer reviews. My personal fave prints are the stunning blue leopard and gorg snakeskin. If that ain't your style, don't worry, Swurly offers a ton of other neutral choices (like this one) as well.
So we're talkin' silk sheets. Three words: Luxurious. Beautiful. Expensive. At this point, why not go all-in? This cotton and silk charmeuse sham is perfect for the chicks who want All. Silk. Everything.
If you're still thinking, girl, WTF. Do you think I'm made of money?! Here is another alternative option. It feels like silk, it's shiny like silk, AND they're just as soft and breathable as the real thing—but they're bamboo, baby!
If you go for these pristinely white mulberry silk sheets, first of all, congrats, you're much braver than I am. And second of all, double congrats 'cause your bed is GUAR-AN-TEED to look and feel stunning.
You don't have to forgo patterns just because your sheets are silk. This beautiful marble set will be the scene-stealing statement piece in any bedroom.
If the silky smoothness and the pearly white color haven't already persuaded you to get these sheets, then I've got two words for you: machine washable.
So you got those white sheets above, huh? Well, what if you're extra and sleep with a million pillows? Well, have I got a solution for you: Order these gorge, white silk pillowcases and problem solved.
