If you've been a little fidgety at night lately—or if you just want to feel rich as hell—may I suggest swapping out your cotton sheets for silk ones? Once you experience the cool slick feeling of this luxurious lightweight fabric after a long day, you'll never be able to go back. Which is why I rounded up the 12 best options that money can buy, below.
Beyond the fact that silk sheets are pretty to look at, they’re also refreshing, cozy, breathable, smooth, and much healthier for your skin and hair. Yes, you read that correctly—silk sheets have major beauty benefits (hence: the silk pillowcase craze). The magic is in the ultra-smooth texture of the fabric, which helps prevent breakage and keeps your precious locks from getting tangled up at night. Consider your blowout preserved!
Silk is also naturally hypoallergenic, and can help with temperature regulation throughout the night. It retains moisture rather than drawing it out, meaning your skin and hair will stay nice and hydrated while you sleep. Dreamy, right? But alas, I should mention that silk sheets do tend to cost more than, say, flannel. But let's be real, you deserve a little upgrade, and if you’re looking to treat yourself to a luxe new set, it's most definitely worth the splurge. However, should you be on a budgeting wave, satin sheets are a great alternative with a nearly identical feel, (and usually a lower price tag) so we included some of those options below, too.
